For most visa types, yes — parts of the process require you to be present in Panama, including biometrics and your residency card appointment. We coordinate the in-country steps and make sure you know exactly when you need to be there and for how long.
Most applications take 6–18 months from submission to approval, depending on the visa type. The Qualified Investor Visa processes fastest — sometimes in as little as 30–90 days. Document preparation typically adds 1–3 months before submission. We give you a realistic timeline at the start of your case.
Panama law requires all visa applications to be filed through a licensed Panamanian immigration attorney. Rather than building an in-house legal team in every country, we partner with vetted, experienced attorneys who handle your case under our supervision. Their fee is included in our quote — no surprises.
Both include full visa management and core relocation support. The Concierge package adds unlimited bi-weekly calls, on-the-ground support for the practical side of the move — SIM cards, utilities, internet — airport pickup, and direct access to your specialist via WhatsApp. It’s the right choice if you want a true partner from first call to fully settled, not just a service provider.
The right visa depends on your income, investment capacity, and how committed you are to Panama long-term. The Pensionado is best for retirees with at least $1,000/month in lifetime pension income. The Friendly Nations Visa suits working-age expats from qualifying countries who can demonstrate economic ties. The Qualified Investor Visa is the right fit if you’re investing $300,000 or more in real estate or other qualifying assets. Not sure? Take our quiz or speak with a specialist.
Package prices do not include government application fees, the cost of procuring documents, apostille fees, or official translations unless otherwise noted. We provide a full cost breakdown before you book so there are no surprises.
Yes. Spouses and dependent children can be added to most Panama visa applications. Each dependent is priced as an optional add-on, and we’ll confirm the exact documentation requirements for your family during onboarding.
We recommend starting 3–6 months before your intended move date. Document preparation alone typically takes 1–3 months, and some steps — like obtaining apostilled background checks — take longer than people expect. The earlier you start, the more options you have.
Rejections are rare when applications are properly prepared. If an issue arises, we stay with you through the appeals process at no additional charge. We’ll discuss the specifics of your situation during onboarding.
Yes. Both packages include 30 days of post-arrival support, and Concierge clients have on-the-ground assistance for the practical side of settling in. We also connect all clients to our vetted partner network in Panama for ongoing needs.
