Permanent residency by investment
Permanent residence in Panama from approval, secured through a qualifying investment in real estate, securities or a fixed-term deposit. Your family can be included, and your attorney handles every stage in confidence, so you only need to be in Panama for brief visits.
THE PROGRAM
The Qualified Investor Visa is Panama's premier residence-by-investment program. It grants permanent residence from approval, with no temporary residence stage first. It suits individuals and families who want lasting residence in Panama, whether as a primary home, a second base or part of a wider plan for mobility. Most of the process can be handled remotely by your attorney. In most cases you only need to be in Panama in person for the filing and the final approval.
INVESTMENT ROUTES
Three ways to invest, each with its own threshold. All three lead to permanent residence in Panama, granted on approval.
Arrange a private consultationBuy property worth at least USD 300,000 if it's newly built, or USD 500,000 if it's a resale. You can buy anywhere in Panama and in any development. There's no list of government-approved projects to choose from, therefore you pick the property that suits you.
Invest in securities through the Panamanian stock exchange. The securities must be tied to businesses that contribute to the country's economy. This route suits clients who want their residence investment held in a portfolio rather than property.
Place a fixed-term deposit with a Panamanian bank and keep it there for at least five years.
THE PROCESS
One attorney handles your application from start to finish. We work directly with the authorities, anticipate what they will ask for, and deal with the details so that very little is needed from you.
OUR APPROACH
A sound plan is not a set of separate services. It's a coordinated legal structure where each part supports the others and serves one long-term goal.
A private conversation with your attorney about your goals, your family and your circumstances. Everything you share is kept in strict confidence.
We review the options available under Panamanian law and recommend the route and structures that best protect your interests.
We prepare your documents, set up your structures and file with the relevant authorities, and we represent you at every stage.
After each milestone, we review the results against your goals and changes in the law. We adjust the plan when your circumstances call for it.
By Private Appointment
Share your priorities, your family's future and what you want to preserve. Your attorney will listen closely and advise with care. They can shape a strategy with you from the start or carry out one you've already considered.
