Single mum working visa??

3 years ago
Hi

The decision has finally been made. Panama is for us ??
I’m 40 and have 3 kids (18 in full time education, 11 home educated and the baby who’s 1 and at home all the time).

I’m finding out tomorrow what my lump sum is to move us (divorce settlement.)

My 11 and baby just has me on their birth certificate as their father was a specimen jar ????)

I’m unskilled as such so would be doing anything and everything to keep our heads above water. This is about a better lifestyle for the kids . I plan to study if I can to teach possibly.

I’ve been to panama about 20 years ago and fell in love. My kids haven’t been and love what they’ve seen and I’ve said.
They’ve all lived abroad before so they know to expect anything and everything ha

My question is how on the earth do I do this?
How do I get a working/permanent residency so we are secure living there please?

I’ve ready about the friendly nations visa. Would I be to late looking at this (I couldn’t do anything until I find out the money tomorrow).
I plan to get a solicitor to help. Are they crazy expensive please?

I get is need 5k in the bank plus 2k for everyong else. Would that include kids and baby ?
Could I use the money once the visa is agreed.

This is solo confusing ??
