Hello, I'm planning on moving my family to Chiriquí this year. I'm new and have not gone through all of the message board posts to bear with me as most of these questions have been answered previously. As of this posting I am in the states. I've been to Panama three times thus far and my Spanish is poor.

1) Opening a bank account. I've read about the difficulties of Americans post Panama paper difficulties. From what I've read online I'm leaning toward Banco National de Panama. Anyone know if it's possible to open an account online rather than in person?
2) Shipping container. Companies? Looking for people who have shipped from the states and their experience. This isn't an option for me I'm seeking reliable shipping container options.
3) I'm trying to put together an itinerary for when I must go to Panama for paperwork that cannot be done in the states. a. Open a bank account and transfer the money for the property. b. Buy the property. c. Get visas d. Shipping container.

I know I'll need a lawyer for b and c. I'm not sure if I'll need a middleman for help with a and d.

This is very rough, I'm just trying to get the ball rolling in my head on how to best achieve my goals. I've scoured the internet and most of it's very vague or questionable.

Thank you for your time, it's greatly appreciated.
