The time required to obtain a Panamanian visa varies depending on the type of visa requested, but generally the process can take between 1 and 3 months. Some visas, such as permanent residence for economic reasons (e.g., “Friendly Countries Visa” or real estate investment), usually take around 60 to 90 days from the submission of all the complete requirements. However, factors such as the workload of the immigration authorities, the correct submission of documentation, and possible interviews may influence the duration of the process.
In Panama, companies only pay taxes on locally generated income, with a 25% tax rate on profits and a 7% ITBMS tax. Foreign income is not taxed, and free trade zones offer additional tax exemptions.
Yes, it is possible to open a bank account in Panama as a non-resident, although the process can be more rigorous. Banks usually request a passport, bank and personal references, proof of income and address, in addition to complying with strict due diligence and fund verification procedures to prevent money laundering.
I have been living in Panama for many years, and getting legalized has been complicated. Tommy explained the process in a very precise way and has helped me to get my immigration papers.
