The Panama Canal, a famous feat of human engineering, cuts through its center, linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to create an essential shipping route.

The citizens of most countries don’t require a visa to enter Panama; you can check here if you need a tourist visa. Foreign citizens who qualify to enter Panama visa free, are granted a stay of 180 days. Other requirements include a return flight booking (checked at airport of departure) and a passport valid for at least six months after the date of entry plus blank pages. For those that do require a visa, a stay of 90 days will be granted if your visa application is approved. For other requirements you should contact the Panama embassy or consulate in your country. You can find Panama’s embassies and consulates here, just click on the country and then the ‘Embassy’ tab. Tourists who enter visa free and want to stay for a second (or subsequent) round of 180 days, need to leave Panama for 30 days before they can re-enter. However, if your current stay does not exceed five months, you will be allowed back after 72 hours. The government has now added another restriction, which is the number of times a tourist visa can be renewed. That is now limited to three times. These so-called perpetual tourists make use of a practice called the “border run” which is a trip to Costa Rica for the sole purpose of legal re-entry. If you consider doing this, make sure that you ask about the exact requirements for exit and re-entry at the time, because policies and regulations change from time to time. Note: for people travelling from a country where yellow fever occurs, it is a good idea to always travel with your vaccination certificate. © Copyright Travel Hippi 2019 Page 7 of 38 2 RESIDENCY VISAS If you plan to stay for a longer term, or if you are considering immigration, then one of the 8 permanent residency visas can be considered. 2.1 FRIENDLY NATIONS VISA This is a straightforward option where the citizens of 50 “friendly nations” can acquire immediate residency, with an option to apply for citizenship after 5 years. The 50 countries are listed below: •Andorra •Argentina •Australia •Austria •Belgium •Brazil •Canada •Chile •Costa Rica •Croatia •Cyprus •Czech Republic •Denmark •Estonia •Finland •France •Germany •Greece •Hong Kong •Hungary •Ireland •Israel •Japan •Latvia •Liechtenstein •Lithuania •Luxembourg •Malta •Mexico •Monaco •Montenegro •Netherlands •New Zealand •Norway •Paraguay •Poland •Portugal •San Marino •Serbia •Singapore •Slovakia •South Africa •South Korea •Spain •Sweden •Switzerland •Taiwan •United Kingdom •Uruguay •USA The spirit of the relevant law is that citizens of the 50 “friendly nations” must establish a professional or economic relationship with Panama. This can be accomplished by one of the following two options: Option 1 – Economic activity: Setting up a new Panama corporation, or buying an existing Panama corporation which does business in the country, will show an economic relationship. Note that non- Panamanian citizens are prohibited from operating a retail business. Owning a Panama corporation does not automatically allow you to work in that business – you still need to apply for a work permit. Option 2 – Professional activity: Being employed by a bona fide Panama corporation will demonstrate a professional relationship. Once the employment contract is stamped by the authorities, the applicant must obtain a work permit and be registered with Panama’s Social Security system. There are other documents that must be submitted by the employer. Note that non-Panamanian citizens are prohibited from the following jobs: © Copyright Travel Hippi 2019 Page 8 of 38 •Dentist •Dental Assistant •Lawyer •Veterinarian •Chiropractor •Medical Doctor •Nurse •Medical Assistant •Medical Radiologist •Medical Laboratory Technician •Pharmacist •Nutritionist •Sociologist •Psychologist •Physiotherapist •Speech Therapist •Social Worker •Accountant •Hairdresser •Cosmetologist •Chemist •Engineer •Architect •Journalist •Economist •Public Relations jobs •Agricultural Sciences jobs Further requirements for the Friendly Nations Visa: · Both the economic and professional options above must be supported by proof of economic solvency. This can be done by opening a Panama bank account and depositing a minimum of $5,000. · Dependants include a spouse and children up to the age of 25, provided that children are unmarried. Documents required for the Friendly Nations Visa (and Panama bank account): · Passport valid for at least 6 months from date of application, plus blank pages; · Second identification such as identification card or drivers’ licence; · Criminal history record (if you are resident in another country, that criminal record must be accompanied by proof of legal residency; if you have resided in Panama for the last 2 consecutive years, the criminal history record must be issued by the national police (DIJ) in Panama); · Marriage certificate if a dependant is a spouse. If you are unmarried, confirmation of unmarried status by means of an official certificate from your country; · Birth certificate if a dependant is a child. For children over 18, confirmation of unmarried status by means of an official certificate from their country; · Original medical examination report from a certified Panama medical doctor (ask your lawyer about their service to supply a translator if required); · Proof of solvency (letter from your Panama bank, addressed to “Servicio Nacional de Migracion”, confirming the required balance); © Copyright Travel Hippi 2019 Page 9 of 38 · Confirmation of economic or professional activity (the former by way of corporation records, the latter by way of a work contract by a Panama company registered with Social Security); · The remaining documents will be prepared by your immigration lawyer; · For the bank: most of the above plus a reference letter from your bank (some banks require that the letter be addressed to them) as well as at least one more letter of reference from a professional practitioner (for example your auditor/accountant).
