Panama has one of the easiest and most affordable residency programs in the world.
The visa process for the pensionado program in Panama is also very simple. It's a one-time application. There are no renewals and no additional fees. Other residency programs require you to file a renewal each year. This involves time, hassle, and additional fees. In Panama, you can apply today for no more than a few thousand dollars and have residency for life. Your permit takes only a month. It's fast. It's affordable. It's easy.
Panama is truly one of the best--if not the best--residency deal in the world today. For the tiny price, the benefits are incomparable. And it is an extraordinary opportunity…
The Panama pensionado program will not net you a passport, however. But it will grant you residency rights for life. If you want or need a Panamanian passport for tax or other reasons, don't worry. There are many other programs you may qualify for.
For instance, with as little as a $10,000 investment, you can start up your own business, and within nine years, be granted a Panamanian passport. Or you can invest $40,000 in a government-approved--and potentially very lucrative--reforestation project. These are just some of the additional ways in which you can qualify to live, retire,or do business in Panama.
