Panama Pacifico investor
Who may qualify?
Investors or businesspeople under the Panama Pacifico special regime.
Amount or financial condition
Depends on the authorized business activity.
What does this mean in practice?
Eligibility depends on the approved company, activity and zone-specific conditions.
Documents to prepare
Company registration, activity and investment records.
Before applying
Not every property or company in the zone qualifies.
Understanding the amounts
The figures describe qualifying capital, deposits or income, not the price of residency. Government fees, translations, legalization, banking expenses and professional fees are separate.
Typical application stages
The first step is to review nationality, family or professional ties and evidence of eligibility. The applicant then prepares legalized or apostilled records, files the application and responds to any official requests.
Dependents and employment
Dependent eligibility follows the specific program rules. Residence does not itself grant authorization to take local paid employment; work-permit requirements must be assessed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Is the stated amount a payment to immigration? No. An investment or deposit is qualifying capital subject to legal conditions. Is approval automatic? No. The authority assesses the application.
