WHY PANAMA?

PANAMA IS PROBABLY THE PERFECT COUNTRY FOR YOUR BUSINESS AND PERMANENT RESIDENCE BECAUSE
  • Panama is a territorial tax jurisdiction, with taxes levied only on local Panamanian income.
  • There is no taxation in Panama on foreign income, including capital gains.
  • You don’t have to buy anything. Slovakia, the Czech Republic and most EU countries are on Panama’s “friendly nations” list, so you qualify through an employment contract with a Panamanian company we set up for you. A property worth at least $200,000 or a $200,000 fixed deposit held for three years works too, and investors can skip straight to permanent residency (see below).
  • Panama does not have its own currency; the official currency is the US dollar (USD).
  • Panama has double tax treaties with many European countries.
  • Panamanian residency offers various benefits, including exemption from compulsory military service and health and social security obligations.
  • Individuals can choose a global international health insurance plan that suits their needs.
  • The management of European companies is still possible in most countries, with options such as the “alternative authenticator for foreign residents” in Slovakia.
  • There are no typical EU business restrictions, such as cash limits, and Panama avoids typical Latin American problems such as mild inflation and protectionism, making it easier to do business worldwide.

THE PLAN INCLUDES:

  • Airfare from Europe to Panama City for all four visits
  • Accommodation in 5-star luxury hotels in Panama City during all four visits
  • Authentic hammock accommodation in San Blas, Bocas del Toro
  • Guidance in your home country to obtain all the necessary documentation for permanent residency
  • Health certificate, passport registration, temporary and permanent residency applications and both residency cards
  • Visit to the most beautiful highlights in Panama (San Blas, Bocas del Toro, Panama City tropical forests)
  • Advice on cancelling your permanent residency in your home country, including related insurances
  • Advice on obtaining international global health insurance

YOUR ROUTE TO RESIDENCY

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT (OUR STANDARD ROUTE)

We set up a Panamanian company for you (or help you with another employer) and document your employment contract, with a salary of at least USD 850 a month (we recommend 1,000). That job is your tie under the Friendly Nations rules, so no investment is needed. You sign a power of attorney and our Panamanian lawyers file everything for you.

PREFER TO INVEST?

Instead of a job, you can qualify with a property worth at least USD 200,000 (a local bank can finance it) or a USD 200,000 fixed deposit held for three years. Investors in a hurry can skip the temporary stage: USD 300,000 in a new-build property from the developer, or USD 500,000 in resale property, securities or a state-bank deposit, held for five years, gives permanent residency directly.

VISITING PANAMA CITY

During your first visit to Panama, you can enjoy luxury accommodation in a 5 star hotel in the centre of Panama City with a delicious breakfast and all the necessary facilities.

VISITS ONE AND TWO: TEMPORARY RESIDENCY

VISIT 1 (5 WORKING DAYS): PASSPORT REGISTRATION

Our lawyers register your passport at the immigration office (note: Panamanian officials have a dress code - no shorts, T-shirts or sandals, even though it can be super hot outside).

DOCUMENT PREPARATION

For document preparation we need your passport (so it is a good idea to have two). Our immigration attorney will make a complete photocopy of your passport (including a copy of the Panamanian immigration registration stamp page) and have it certified by a notary public in Panama.

PRESENTATION OF RESIDENCE APPLICATION

Our immigration lawyer files your application for two years of temporary residency. You only need to be there in person on Monday (power of attorney) and Thursday (photo at the immigration office), and on Friday you can fly home.

VISIT 2 (2 WORKING DAYS): TEMPORARY RESIDENT CARD

Approval usually takes about 4 months (up to 6), and you don't have to wait in Panama: our lawyers collect the decision for you. Then you come back for 2 working days, ideally within a year, to have your photo taken and pick up your temporary resident card.

COMING WITH YOUR FAMILY?

For a spouse, children or parents you need a Panamanian bank account with a deposit of at least USD 5,000 and a bank letter ("carta bancaria"). Opening the account takes time, so families arrive 1-2 weeks before the first filing. Couples can also file two separate applications and skip the bank account.

PERMANENT RESIDENCY IS NEXT

Temporary residency lasts two years. You apply for permanent residency in months 21-24 (months 25-30 are still possible with a fine of USD 50 a month, after that it is too late). If the timing suits you, combine the card pickup with that trip.

VISITS THREE AND FOUR: PERMANENT RESIDENCY

Visit 3 (5 working days, in months 21-24 of your temporary residency) repeats the routine of the first visit, and you no longer need a criminal record or birth certificate. Permanent residency is usually approved within about 4 months. Then comes the most enjoyable part, visit 4 (2 working days): picking up your permanent residency card. The only thing you have to do is sign your new card and then you can enjoy the most adventurous trip in San Blas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Of course it is. We give excellent feedback to all the countries whose people have decided to give up their permanent residency and prefer the Panamanian one. If a lot of people decide to change their permanent residency, then there is something wrong with their home countries. And it is a clear signal to their governments to do something to be more attractive to all these people.
Of course not. With our travel agency we visit the poorest parts of Panama – San Blas with the indigenous tribes. These people help us a lot and we give them a fair price for their work to improve their lives. We are doing a socially responsible business and helping the poorest.
After Chile, Panama is one of the safest countries in Latin America. There are some less safe places (such as Colon) where it is not advisable to go, but usually there is no reason to visit these places.
If you are a citizen of one of the countries on the “Panama friendly list”, then definitely yes. It has about 50 countries, including Slovakia, the Czech Republic and most of the EU.
  1. The apostille of the criminal record translated into Spanish.
  2. Your passport (make a copy). We recommend that you have two passports if your home country supports this.
  3. Your second identity document (national identity card, driving licence).
  4. Approximately eight passport size photographs of yourself.
  5. Original bank reference letter addressed to the bank in Panama where you are applying to open the account (it is better to apply to several of our recommended banks at the same time). We will send you the template. This letter should be issued within three months of the account application date and must include an email or phone number of the issuing bank so that the bank in Panama can confirm the letter.
  6. Annual tax return (from you or your company), letter of employment or retirement income document (any document that proves your monthly source of income). This requirement is critical as the bank needs to know how you make money or the source of your funds to be deposited into the account.
  7. Two references from customers or business partners.
  8. Your curriculum vitae describing your education and work history.
  9. Your degree certificate (if you have one).
  10. Letter addressed to the bank explaining the purpose of opening the account, what banking services will be required such as current / savings account, debit card, credit card, online banking, etc., the estimated monthly deposits, withdrawals.
  11. The name of your company.
  12. The nature of your business (we can help you with this).
  13. The scope of services offered by the company. The detailed personal details of the owners, shareholders, all company representatives.
We do not work for politicians or politically exposed persons. We therefore reserve the right to carry out background checks on our clients.
Absolutely. Both countries are on the “Panama friendly list”. In addition, the Czech Republic has signed a double taxation treaty with Panama.
If you give up your permanent and tax residency in your home country, with your Panamanian permanent residency and company, you have no obligation to pay any taxes on your personal foreign income, as well as on your Panamanian company income if you have non-Panamanian clients. Both permanent travellers and crypto holders can appreciate this. Just keep in mind that the residency card alone does not make you a Panamanian tax resident: for that, Panama wants more than 183 days a year in the country or a permanent home there.
At least once every 2 years. A permanent resident who stays out of Panama for more than two years in a row can lose the status.
If you choose to be an employee of the Panamanian company, then yes. The owners are not required to have health insurance.
If you are travelling from Europe, no. However, yellow fever vaccination is strongly recommended, especially if you plan to visit Panama’s neighbouring countries.
Not really. Just no shorts, T-shirts, sandals or jeans. Black trousers and a decent shirt are fine.
You will need to pay for each visit in advance according to our price list. If you pay for all four visits at once, you will receive a 10% discount for the whole trip. If you apply together with family members, you will also need at least USD 5,000 in your Panamanian bank account to obtain the “balance confirmation” (carta bancaria) required by the immigration office. Keep it there until the permanent residency application, where the same deposit counts again.

We are a crypto only company, so it is possible to pay with any cryptocurrency. Since we value privacy, we prefer anonymous cryptocurrencies (Monero or Lightning).
