Full asset confidentiality, zero tax on overseas income, no residency requirements
Panama’s investment residency programme grants permanent resident status through one of four qualifying routes: property, a fixed-term bank deposit, listed securities, or a Panamanian company capitalised from overseas.
The country operates a territorial tax system and a fully dollarised economy, and its Qualified Investor route was created to process approvals on a compressed timetable.
Residency is permanent from the moment the application is approved, and a 24-hour visit every two years maintains it.
Spouse, children up to 25, and parents of any age may be included in the same filing, with access to medical care and education on the same terms as Panamanian citizens.
Panama’s territorial system exempts residents from tax on income earned outside the country.
The economy runs on the US dollar, removing currency risk from the investment and from local costs.
A banking centre with strict confidentiality law where resident status eases account opening, and the Colón Free Trade Zone for duty-free regional trade.
Panama City, Coronado and Playa Bonita, with rental yields quoted up to 5.48%.
A base for Latin American markets, with Canal logistics and Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela within reach.
Low living costs, private healthcare, and the Pensionado discount scheme on services and transport.
A working day that overlaps both the United States and Europe, on infrastructure that supports it.
The Qualified Investor route grants permanent residency on purchase of unencumbered property from $300,000 (after October 2026, $500,000), held directly or through an irrevocable developer trust for 5 years.
A deposit from $750,000 with a general-licence bank, placed for 5 years with proof of the origin of funds.
From $500,000 in securities through a licensed local broker, held for 5 years and regulated throughout.
A Panamanian company capitalised from $500,000 introduced from overseas, trading within the tax system and maintained for 5 years.
