322: Expat News: Panama Keeps Investor Visa Price, Trump to End Double Taxation Of Expats?

The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

Huge news broke regarding Panama’s Investor Visa this week, as the investment minimum will now remain at $300K, pausing the previously planned increase to $500K for at least two years. Plus, will Donald Trump really end the double taxation of American expats if he’s elected? These are the news stories at the top of my stack for this week’s edition of Expat News. After nearly six weeks of travel, followed by the Expat Money Summit right when we got back, a whole lot of news stories have been piling up, so let’s dive right into this fifth edition of Expat News!
