FAQs
Is it possible to work with a retirement visa in Panama?
Residence permits solely allow legal residence in the country, which means staying legally for the period established by your residence status. However, it’s important to note that to have the right to work, a separate work permit is necessary. Some specific residence categories may make you eligible to apply for a work permit. Therefore, if you intend to work in the country, it’s essential to first consider residence options.
Why do I need a Multiple Entry Visa?
The Multiple Entry Visa is required for foreigners with a pending residence application who wish to travel abroad during that period. If a temporary resident leaves the country without obtaining this visa, they could face a fine of US$2,000.00.
After obtaining residence, can I live in another country?
After approval, you can reside in the country for as long as you wish. However, it’s important to note that if you decide to move outside of Panama, it’s essential to visit the country at least once every two years. Otherwise, your residence could be revoked.
Can I opt for permanent residence if I was a permanent worker at the headquarters of a Multinational Company?
Any employee who has worked for more than 5 years at a Multinational Company Headquarters (SEM) has the option to apply for permanent residence, as established in Executive Decree 822 of August 2, 2013.
When can I apply for naturalization?
You must have lived continuously in the country for at least 5 years with permanent residence to be eligible for naturalization. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, such as foreigners who have Panamanian children, are married to Panamanian citizens, or have the nationality of a country with a reciprocity agreement with Panama.
