FAQ
How hard is it to open a bank account in Panama?
It varies by bank and by your visa status, but the right introduction cuts weeks off the process. Arriva-verified setup pros know which local branches actively work with expats and which will send you home to get more documents.
Do I need a local address to get a SIM card in Panama?
Prepaid SIMs are usually available with just a passport. Postpaid plans typically require proof of address and sometimes a local bank account — a setup pro can bundle both.
How do I convert my foreign driver's license?
Panama has specific rules on which foreign licenses convert directly and which require a local test. Your setup pro will confirm the current process, gather translations if required, and book your appointment.
How does Arriva verify pros in Panama?
Every pro on Arriva goes through government ID verification, reference checks, and — where the service requires it — business license and credential review. Ongoing review moderation keeps profiles honest after they go live.
