Panama has a broad range of golden visas available for prosperous immigrants. The simplest program was established for the ‘friendly nations’ – a large list of locations that have special arrangements with Panama, including the United States of America, the United Kingdom and many within the European Union.
For those who do not fall under this category, there are further investment routes from which to choose. A reforestation visa allows applicants to place 80 000 USD in government certified reforestation projects, which may potentially create high ROI. More common options (with higher thresholds) include real estate investment of at least 300 000 USD, or investment in the subordinated capital of the local banks for a duration of at least 3 years. This would be to the amount of 300 000 USD.
Investors have the option to receive residency for their family, subject to higher investment thresholds and state fees.
