In order to acquire residency in Panama, a specific process must be followed, and certain requirements must be met. Here is a general overview of the steps involved in obtaining residency:

Choose a Residency Program: Panama offers various residency programs that cater to different types of applicants, including retirees, investors, employees, and more. Some of the popular residency programs include:

Pensionado Visa: This program is designed for retirees with a stable monthly pension income. You need to prove a minimum pension income for life, typically around $1,000 per month.

Friendly Nations Visa: Citizens of certain “friendly” countries can apply for this visa, which is aimed at promoting economic and personal ties between Panama and these nations. Requirements include establishing a local bank account and economic or professional ties to Panama.

Investor Visa: If you’re looking to invest in Panama, you can qualify for residency by investing a minimum amount in certain sectors, such as real estate or reforestation.

Self-Economic Solvency Visa: This visa is suitable for individuals who have a steady income generated from sources other than a pension.

Gather Documentation: The specific documents required can vary depending on the type of residency you’re applying for. Common documents include a valid passport, police clearance certificate, proof of financial stability (like bank statements or income proof), and a health certificate.

Submit Application: Once you have all the necessary documents, you’ll need to submit your application to the National Immigration Service (Servicio Nacional de Migración) in Panama. Applications are typically submitted in person or through a legal representative.

Processing and Approval: The processing time for residency applications can vary. It’s important to be patient during this stage. Your application will be reviewed by immigration officials, and you may be required to provide additional documentation or attend an interview.

Health Insurance: Some residency programs, such as the Pensionado Visa, may require you to have valid health insurance coverage in Panama.

Investments and Financial Requirements: If you’re applying for a residency program that involves financial investments, you’ll need to fulfill the investment requirements as specified by the program. This may include purchasing real estate, investing in a business, or other eligible investments.

Background Check and Interview: As part of the application process, you might undergo a background check or interview (FBI Apostille for Panama). This is to ensure that you meet the requirements and have genuine intentions for obtaining residency.

Residency Card Issuance: If your application is approved, you’ll be issued a temporary residency card. After a certain period, typically one to two years, you can apply for a permanent residency card.

Obtaining an apostille on an FBI background check for Panama can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

We can apostille any passport (Example: USA, India, UK, Russia, China, etc…) signed and notarized in all 50 U.S. states, District of Columbia, and the U.S. Federal Government (USA Embassy).
