Panama is a country on the Isthmus of Panama, which joins North and South America, with a population of about 2.8 million. The capital is Panama City and the official language is Spanish. The country offers several investment routes to a residence permit.

Legal grounds for the residence permit

To get a Panama residence permit, the investor picks one of the following options:

  • Investment in real estate - from $300,000.
  • Investment in the stock market - from $500,000.
  • Bank deposit - from $750,000.
  • Investment in forestry: teak reforestation from $100,000 gives a residence permit for 2 years, and from $350,000 permanent residence straight away; real estate from $100,000 entered in the forestry register of Panama's Ministry of the Environment also qualifies.
