Who it's for

  • Buyers who want permanent residency without a Panama job.
  • Families buying a home or a rental investment.

  • Mortgage financing (we can refer you to banks).
  • Rental management, which is contracted separately.
  • Tax advice in your home country (talk to your US or Canadian tax adviser).

How the process works

  1. Assessment

    We confirm the route suits you and agree on a quote and timeline.

  2. Property

    You pick a property and we vet its legal status.

  3. Closing

    You sign the deed and we record it at the Public Registry.

  4. Residency

    We file your application and see it through to your ID card.

Fees and timelines

Every case gets a fixed quote. We keep our professional fees ([amount to be set]) separate from government and third-party costs (immigration fees, notary, Public Registry and taxes), which are paid directly to each entity. Current government fees are confirmed when we prepare your file: [verify current fees with the immigration service].

Questions about this service

What is the minimum investment?
The amount is set by the decree governing the Qualified Investor category and has changed over time. Current amount: verify in the Official Gazette and with the immigration service. We confirm it in writing before you choose a property.
Can I buy pre-construction?
That depends on the current rules and on whether the unit can be recorded. Confirm requirements for pre-sales. We review it case by case.
Can I rent the property out?
Generally yes, but you must keep the investment for the period the rules require. We explain the conditions before you buy.
