Your company, properly addressed.
ExploreMost international companies are run from somewhere other than where they are registered.
The address on file is often a registered agent's, shared with many others, or a founder's home.
Banks notice. Payment processors notice. Clients notice. Advisory N9 gives your company an address of its own, in a real commercial building, with every letter scanned and sent to you. One service, one point of contact, the same price in both countries.
Many US companies owned from abroad list only their registered agent's address. Banks and payment processors recognise those addresses, and a company without one of its own can face extra verification, held payouts or closed accounts. A commercial address in the company's name, used consistently on your bank, processor, IRS and state records, is one of the simplest ways to reduce that risk.
A Panama company needs an address its banks, suppliers and the authorities can write to and verify. Yours sits in a recognised commercial tower in Marbella, in Panama City's banking district, with its own suite number and a formal proof of address letter in the company's name.
A commercial street address in your company's name, in the state you choose from more than twenty, including Wyoming, Delaware, Florida, Texas, Nevada and New York. Your own suite number, never a PO box, ready to list on your website, invoices, bank, processor, IRS and state records. Every letter is opened, scanned where it arrives and sent to your inbox, and unwanted mail is securely shredded. Originals can be forwarded by post or courier on request, for a handling fee plus postage at cost. One point of contact at Advisory N9 for all of it.

Yes. It is a commercial building with your own suite number, not a PO box or a mailbox store.
Yes, and consistency is what matters most. Each institution applies its own verification policy, so acceptance is at its discretion. A commercial address in the company's name, used the same way on every record, is what most institutions expect to see.
A registered agent address exists to receive legal notices and state correspondence, and it is shared by many companies. Your business address belongs to your company alone, receives all of its mail, and can appear on your website, invoices and accounts.
Acceptance of an address by banks, payment processors, marketplaces and authorities is at their discretion. Registrations in Panama, such as the Aviso de Operación, are subject to local requirements.
An address receives mail, but it does not answer the phone.
Clients expect a local number, and compliance teams ask for a lease or a utility bill.
On its own, an address does not always satisfy a bank asking for evidence of a real operation. Virtual Office gives your company the full footprint of a local office, with the address, a local phone line and the paperwork that shows it is really there, without renting a space you will never sit in. Set up and managed end to end by Advisory N9.
An office lease in your company's name is a strong signal of genuine presence for a company owned from abroad. Paired with a local number in the same state, your company reads as an established US business, on paper and on the phone.
In Panama, proof of address often means more than a letter. Your Virtual Office adds a dedicated Panama number with local caller ID and, on request, a telephone utility bill, the kind of supporting document banks and suppliers ask for.
Everything in Business Address, plus a US number with a local area code in your chosen state, with calls forwarded to your own number, voicemail with transcription and text messaging. A real office lease for your suite documents your company's presence in the state, and conference rooms can be booked whenever you need to meet clients in person, billed separately. One point of contact at Advisory N9 for all of it.

Business Address gives your company a real address and handles its mail. Virtual Office adds a local phone line and documentation of a real presence: an office lease in the United States, and a telephone utility bill on request in Panama.
Calls to your local number are forwarded to the phone you choose, or taken by voicemail. In the United States, text messaging is included. In Panama, outgoing calls can display your Panama number.
They are strong supporting documents, and many institutions ask for exactly this kind of evidence. Each bank applies its own policy, so acceptance remains at its discretion. We help you prepare the full document set before you apply.
Most offices are ready within a few business days of receiving complete documents.
Panamanian law runs in Spanish, through Panamanian lawyers, on the lawyer's timetable.
We brief a licensed partner firm before you speak to it, and stay in the room.
Residency, companies, property and contracts in Panama all run through that procedure. With us at the table, the work is done once and explained plainly.
Most people arrive in Panama with a lawyer's number. What follows is familiar: documents requested twice, a procedure explained in a language you half follow, a fee that grows with the matter. We close that gap. The partner firm receives your file already organised, and you receive the answer in plain language, with the next step attached.
Advisory N9 is not authorised to practise law and does not give legal advice. Legal work is performed by our licensed partner firm in Panama, whose lawyers sign what they file and answer for it. What we do is make sure your file reaches them complete, that the question is the right one, and that you understand the answer.
You describe the matter in English or French. We define the question, list the documents and send the partner firm an organised file. The firm advises, drafts or files, and you receive the lawyer's written answer with our plain language summary and the next step.
Legal fees are the partner firm's and are quoted in writing before work begins. Notary, registry and government fees are paid with your funds and shown separately. The initial legal consultation is credited against any matter that follows.

A licensed Panamanian attorney at our partner firm, who signs what is filed and is responsible for the advice. Advisory N9 coordinates the engagement and is not a law firm.
No. We work with you in English or French and the firm works in Spanish. The translation of the question and of the answer is part of what we do.
Yes. If you already have counsel in Panama we can coordinate with them, or you can ask for a second opinion from the partner firm on a specific point.
A special power of attorney, limited to one matter and revocable, is how most residency and corporate filings are done without you present. The lawyer drafts it narrowly and explains exactly what it allows.
A residency card is paperwork.
A life in Panama is a home with the lights on and a neighbourhood that fits how you live.
A lease that says what it means, a doctor you can call. We find the home, negotiate the lease or the purchase, connect the services and introduce the people, so the week you land is spent living here rather than settling in.
Listings are informal and often stale, leases are in Spanish and favour the landlord, and every utility has its own office and its own deposit. None of it is hard for someone who has done it fifty times. All of it is slow for someone doing it once, in a second language. We have done it fifty times.
One conversation about how you live sets the brief. Properties that fit are seen on your behalf first, so you see three good options, not thirty listings. The lease or purchase, utilities, services and deposits are handled in your name. You are met at the airport and taken to a home that is connected, furnished and ready.
Included in the white glove residency package. Available on its own for clients who already hold residency. Our settling in fee is quoted after the brief. Deposits, rent and purchases are yours.

Yes. A lease needs your passport and a deposit, not a residency card. Many clients sign during the first visit so the home is ready when the provisional card is issued.
Rent first, in most cases. A year in the city tells you which neighbourhood you actually want, and a purchase that qualifies for a visa is a decision to make with the attorney, not the agent. Qualified Investor Visa
Most settle in Costa del Este, San Francisco, Punta Pacifica or Casco Viejo, each for a different reason. The brief decides it. We do not push a building.
We coordinate it. Movers, customs clearance for household goods and the delivery day are arranged through our partners and billed at cost. Vehicles and Transport
A tourist can drive on a home licence for a limited period. A resident is expected to hold a Panamanian one, and exchanging it means authenticated documents, a medical check and a morning at the transit authority. Buying or importing a car adds its own sequence of registry, insurance and inspection. Each step is ordinary. Together, in a second language, they absorb weeks. We run the sequence for you, in the right order, with a driver in the meantime.
Met at Tocumen on every residency visit, and a vetted driver on call for the first weeks, so viewings, appointments and the transit authority happen on time without you at the wheel.
Exchange of your home licence where Panama allows it: documents authenticated, medical and eye tests booked, the transit authority appointment arranged and attended with you.
Dealer or private sale found to your brief, the vehicle inspected, the price checked against the market, and the ownership transfer completed at the registry in your name.
Customs clearance, duties paid with your funds, the import inspection and first registration, for clients who bring a vehicle with them.
Insurance placed, annual inspection and plate renewal diarised and handled, so the car stays on the road without a fine.
You are met at the airport, and a driver covers your first weeks while the licence and the car are arranged. Your documents are authenticated, the medical tests booked and the transit authority appointment attended with you. The car is bought or imported, inspected, insured and transferred into your name. The inspection and plate renewal dates go on our calendar, not yours.
Airport pick up is included in every residency engagement. The rest is quoted after the consultation. Our coordination fee covers the sequence. Duties, registry and insurance are paid with your funds.

For a limited period after each entry, as a visitor. Once you hold residency you are expected to exchange it for a Panamanian licence, and the exchange needs your licence authenticated and your residency documents in order. We tell you when to start so there is no gap.
Usually buy here. Import duties, shipping and the inspection often cost more than the difference in price, and a locally sold car is easier to service and resell. We run the numbers for your vehicle before you decide.
In Panama City, most residents end up with one. Taxis and ride apps cover the first weeks, which is why a driver is part of the service, but daily life in most neighbourhoods assumes a car.
Yes, where the structure calls for it. The attorney confirms the implications before the transfer. Legal Consulting
One document Panama insists on. Three ways to get it.
ExploreEvery Canadian applying for residency in Panama needs an RCMP criminal record certificate with an apostille.
There are several ways to get it, and the right one depends on where you are.
And on whether you need the certificate, the apostille, or both. We offer all three services, in Canada and in Panama, and we take care of the appointments and coordination for you.
Your official RCMP criminal record check, based on your fingerprints.
We book your fingerprinting appointment with an RCMP accredited provider near you and coordinate the whole request. In the Montreal area, it can all be done in a single visit.
No need to travel back to Canada. Your fingerprints are taken here in Panama City and we coordinate everything with our trusted partner in Canada, who submits them to the RCMP. Your certificate is typically ready in about 15 business days.
You already have your RCMP certificate and it needs to be apostilled before it can be used in Panama.
We arrange the apostille through Global Affairs Canada. Current processing time is about 30 business days.
This is our fastest option. We book your appointment at the Embassy of Canada in Panama City and your certificate is apostilled in just a few days, instead of waiting about six weeks in Canada.
We handle everything from start to finish and deliver your certificate apostilled and ready for your Panama residency file.
We coordinate your fingerprinting, the RCMP check and the apostille from Global Affairs Canada, with the final documents couriered to you.
We obtain your RCMP certificate from Panama, then have it apostilled at the Embassy of Canada in a few days. This saves you weeks compared to the apostille in Canada.
Fingerprinting near you. About 15 business days for the certificate. Global Affairs Canada. About 30 business days.
Fingerprinting in Panama City. About 15 business days for the certificate. Embassy of Canada in Panama. A few days.
RCMP, fingerprinting, apostille and courier fees are paid with your funds and are separate from our service fee.

No. Your fingerprints are taken in Panama City, our partner in Canada submits them to the RCMP, and the certificate is apostilled at the Embassy of Canada here in a few days.
No. Panama requires the RCMP certificate, which is based on your fingerprints, with an apostille.
Global Affairs Canada currently takes about 30 business days. The Embassy of Canada in Panama City apostilles the same certificate in a few days.
The principle is the same for every nationality: a national criminal record certificate, apostilled, for your residency file. The steps differ by country and are covered in your consultation.
