Some Panama Visas
Friendly Nations Visa
This visa is a residency program designed for citizens of a specific list of "friendly nations" that maintain close economic and professional ties with Panama. The applicant must demonstrate an economic or professional link, which can be established through the purchase of real estate for a minimum amount.
Qualified Investor Visa
This "qualified investor" program is a fast-track pathway that grants immediate permanent residency within approximately 30 days of approval. It requires a substantial investment of funds from abroad, with the purchase of real estate in Panama being the most common option.
Pensionado (Retiree) Visa
It is one of the most popular retirement programs in the world due to its generous benefits and lifetime discounts on services such as entertainment, transportation, and utility bills. To qualify, the primary applicant must demonstrate that they receive a lifetime pension or retirement income.
Digital Nomad Visa
This short-stay visa is designed for individuals who work remotely for companies based outside of Panama, or for freelancers whose clients and sources of income are abroad. Applicants must demonstrate an annual income of at least $36,000 from foreign sources.
