Obtain The Panama Qualified Investor Visa

Invest from $300,000

What do you want to accomplish?

Panama’s Qualified Investor Visa provides several investment pathways to obtain Permanent Residency. After maintaining this status for five years, individuals become eligible to apply for Panamanian citizenship through Naturalization, although this is optional.

btaining citizenship subsequently allows for acquiring a Panamanian passport. Notably, residing in Panama is not a prerequisite for qualifying for or retaining either Permanent Residency or citizenship. Nevertheless, brief visits to Panama are required for the initial Permanent Resident visa processing and for the Naturalization procedures should one pursue citizenship.
