A practical guide to eligibility, financial requirements, documentation and checks before applying.
Self-economic solvency
Self-economic solvency
Who may qualify?
Applicants relying on qualifying personal assets invested in Panama.
Amount or financial condition
From US$300,000, with applicable dependent adjustments.
What does this mean in practice?
Qualifying property, a fixed-term deposit or an authorized combination may be used. This is invested or restricted capital, not an immigration filing fee.
Documents to prepare
Property or bank records, lawful source of funds and personal documentation.
Before applying
Review deposit duration, ownership, eligible values and holding requirements.
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.
