paying lip service
Estou traduzindo parte de um livro que trata de orientação de negócios, e me deparei com esta frase:
"In 2012, Panama unveiled its Friendly Nations Visa program, through which it allowed citizens of fifty countries to become an instant permanent resident by tossing $5,000 into a Panamanian bank account and paying lip service to doing business or investing there."
Pensei em deixar como "...e oferecendo um serviço de boca a boca para fazer negócios ou investir lá.", mas antes de decidir, gostaria de ouvir suas considerações.
Que sua noite seja abençoada,
