Erick Gomez is the founder of Trademark Relocation Group, a Panama City–based firm that handles residency, banking, real estate coordination, and local setup for people moving to Panama. He's Arriva's Panama Country Lead and reviews every Panama guide before it publishes.

Erick is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who now lives and works in Panama City. His firm has walked hundreds of American, Canadian, and European families through the Pensionado, Friendly Nations, and Qualified Investor visa paths — and through the parts nobody talks about: opening a Panamanian bank account, getting a cédula, finding a school, and dealing with the utility companies.

Because Erick works these cases every week, Arriva's Panama coverage reflects current wait times, current bank policies, and current attorney fees — not what was true two years ago.
