With 90% relative humidity. I'm with F0cker on this one; I hate all heat, but I hate wet, sticky heat the most.

There is most definitely never 90% relative humidity here. It's quite pleasant. I hate humidity.

do banks in Panama have huge wire transfer fees? Wouldn't it be easier to have an offshore account and do one big transfer to an e-wallet like moneybookers and use that to move money around?

durito come on pal you got an answer for this? I am looking into setting up an offshore account, never had one before, but I know that things that you take for granted as free in the US as far as banking is concerned are not at all necessarily free in other countries. Like if you set up an offshore account and move money from the account to an e-wallet, or an e-wallet to an account, will the bank hit you with unexpected huge fees?

If so then doesn't it make sense to just have one huge amount in a reliable place where you can get money back and forth easily from books? Like you could with Neteller in the US back in the day? Is moneybookers best for that?

Durito a little advice here pal this is your area of expertise
 
It's not even close to my area of expertise, in fact I know nothing. I am trying to learn at the moment. To this point I run most of my books through a USA address and bank.

As for fees? I don't know, Colombian banks won't even take a neteller transfer for more than $50 without flipping out if they take one at all. I don't believe it is even possible in Panama to transfer to/from neteller.

Neteller/MB aren't gonna let you use a bank, as far as I know, that is not in your official country of residence and they are serious these days on documents for proof of residence.


I am looking into some other things, I'll let you know. Maybe juror can help us.

I don't like skin cancer, either. Sorry, but I doubt I'll ever live much closer to the equator than I do now. I need my snowy winters and dormant season for the fruit trees.

really? i thought the reason you live in colombia is precisely so you can establish legitimate non-US residency and have access to pinny and moneybookers and neteller and whatever other gambling sites you want

is that not true? didn't you move there because if you are a US citizen living abroad all those places will be happy to have you??

I had already left the USA (though hadn't settled here) when pinny/neteller left the usa. I also knew nothing comparatively about gambling as I do now.


Colombia's probably one of the worst places to try and do that. The banks suck. I live here because I like it. I will get this all sorted out though.
 
Durito, not sure what you ancestral background is, but I am a US resident, grandfather was born in Ireland. I was able to get Irish citizenship and an Irish passport because of this. Most European nations offer dual citizenship options. The dual citizenship option my be a way to get a European bank account without moving from Colombia.
