What is the Investor Visa?
Panama offers residency to foreign nationals who make a qualifying investment in the country — typically through real estate, a fixed bank deposit, or a business. It’s a popular route for those who don’t have a lifetime pension (Pensionado) and want a clear, investment-based path to residency.
Who it’s for
- Investors who want to combine residency with a real estate or business stake in Panama
- Applicants who don’t qualify under the pension-based Pensionado program
- Those seeking an eventual path toward permanent residency and, later, citizenship eligibility
How we handle it
Panama has several distinct investor categories, each with its own minimum thresholds, holding periods, and documentation. Our legal team reviews your situation, identifies the category that fits your goals and budget, and manages the full application.
Investment thresholds and qualifying categories change periodically. We confirm the exact current requirements for your chosen route during your free consultation before you commit any funds.
