   steps

Before Departure  

You should prepare some minimal documents before your trip to Panama, such as Non-Background Records, Marriage Certificates, Birth Certificates for kids, and a copy of your National ID. All documents must be APOSTILLED (Hague Convention) or LEGALIZED in the nearest Panama Consulate in your home country. Don't hesitate to contact us for detailed documents needed to apply.

After Arrival 

Besides an initial meeting with us, the additional steps are done before the National Immigration Service in Panama City when any residency options are ready. Our firm will assist you at all times.

fAMILY

Parents, kids, and spouses may be included within the visa application forms, regardless of their nationalities and origins, getting the same benefits as the principal applicant.

It is essential to know that kids need a legalized "birth certificate." Still, adult sons can only apply until 25 years old, so adult sons must be enrolled at any local universities after the application because of their legal age.

 
 

pensionado visa

If you are retired or pensioned from any German, Austrian, Canadian, European, or American Public Institution, and earn a monthly payment of approx. 1,000 USD$, you and your family, do qualify for a LIFETIME RESIDENCY IN PANAMA with a PANAMA, plus tax benefits and special discounts. There is no minimum age to apply under this Pensioned Visa Program.

Friendly nations visa

The application for this residency program is not a complicated process, and you should divide the migration process into two stages. The first one would be "the preparation of documents in your country," "the formation of a Panama Company (for Self-Employment)," "the acquisition of a Real Estate," or the "Opening of a Fix Term Account."  

 

QUALIFIED INVESTORS visa

  • Panama has created the "RESIDENCY PROGRAM FOR QUALIFIED INVESTORS", where you and your family can obtain a "lifetime residency" status in only "30 days" by a direct buying of a  property in Panama. 
  • The program allows you to apply with properties priced over $300,000, where the difference of the sale price can have a mortgage. 

Why the Investment visa in Panama ismore convenient than the EB-5 Program?

Obtaining lifetime residency through Panama's Qualified Investment Immigration Program is an increasingly popular option for international investors from Asia, India, and Latin America. In addition to the fact that Panama meets the minimum standards that investors seek for asset allocation: security, political stability, use of the dollar, banking, and global connection, among other competitive advantages (like first-world countries), Panama Qualified Investor Program certainly has direct advantages over the U.S. EB-5 program, in several aspects.

Investment: First, the qualified investment program in Panama (under Decree 722 of 2020) is significantly less expensive than the EB-5 program. The EB-5 program requires a minimum investment of between $800,000 and $1,000,000 in purchasing property, establishing a business, or participating in a project or fund approved by the authorities. On the other hand, the qualified residency program in Panama only requires an investment of $300 K (until October 2024) with the purchase of a property to obtain a lifetime residency, with no additional requirements. The EB-5 program, on the other hand, requires the creation of at least 10 local jobs in addition to the investment to obtain residency.

Time frame:  In terms of time, the Panama Qualified Investment Program is much faster than the EB-5 program. The process to obtain residency through the EB-5 program can take several years, while obtaining permanent residency in Panama takes only 30 days once all required documentation has been correctly submitted to the Panamanian Immigration Service.

Documents: As for the requirements and documents, the EB-5 program requires a large amount of documentation, while Panama only requires the purchase of the property registered in the Public Registry as "proof of investment," plus the essential applicant's and family documentation, such as backgrounds, passports, birth certificates, and similars, to receive the proper approval.
