I have a criminal record; can I still apply?
Prior to submitting your application for permanent residence, you should apply for the Visto Bueno if you have a criminal record (no matter how minor). Immigration will determine your residency eligibility in Panama within 3-6 weeks. It's rare to deny a charge unless you've been accused.
Can I get my criminal record abroad?ion
Obtaining a file police of the country in which you live is possible if you have lived abroad for more than 2 years and have a second photo ID. You will have to obtain the criminal record from your home country if you cannot provide this proof.
How do I include dependents?
Dependents can be included later. Reunification visas, however, will grant dependents temporary residency for two years under a separate process. Upon completion of the 2-year residency period, they will be eligible to become permanent residents. The application process is longer and more expensive, so we recommend families apply together.
Do we need to be physically present?
It is mandatory for anyone included in an application to apply in person. After residency approval, each applicant must complete the process in person.
How long does it take to finalize my residency in Panama?
The approval of residency applications usually takes six months. Generally, we recommend returning once residency has been approved within 6 months to complete the process, but it is not required. It is important to remember that once the temporary ID has expired and you have not returned to complete residency, you will be fined $50 per month.
