IMMIGRATION RESIDENCY CITIZENSHIP PASSPORT
An Overview of Panamas New Qualified Investor PR Program
On October 16, 2020, Decree 722 of October 15, 2020 was published, creating the category of Permanent Resident (PR) as a Qualified Investor (QI) in Panama.
To be eligible, the applicant must make an investment (typically in real estate) for a minimum of US$300,000 from a foreign source. In October 2022, the investment amount will increase to US$500,000. To keep permanent residence, the applicant must maintain the investment for a minimum period of five years.
In order to offer a more simplified and agile service to the investor, the government has created a “fast-track” route; applications under this category may be submitted prior to entering Panama through a local lawyer, on the condition that prior to the issuance of the immigration card, the filiation process is completed. This request must be resolved in a period of no more than 30 business days. After this period, the applicant will only need to visit Panama for one week to obtain PR.
The chief advantage of the QI route to PR in Panama is that the investor doesn't actually need to travel to Panama until the PR is ready. All other routes to PR require multiple visits to the country ahead of time, and also mandate longer waiting periods before qualifying for the PR; anywhere from six to 24 months, depending on which route the investor uses.
Once you obtain your residency, you only need to spend one day every two years in the country to maintain your permanent resident status. A simple transfer through the airport would also qualify as a day, for these purposes.

The combination of favorable factors for business development make Panama corporation attractive for business: Panama operates under a territorial tax system where residents and non-residents are taxed only on Panama-sourced income.
Income that does not arise in Panama or is not derived from this country is not subject to tax in Panama. There are no economic substance requirements. Dividends received by a Panamanian resident corporation from another Panamanian corporation are exempt from corporate tax. A corporation is resident if it is incorporated under Panamanian law and if the corporation’s central management and control is exercised in Panama.
