Immigration Options:
The following sections and questions are intended to assist you in
identifying which visas might apply to your particular circumstances. This is
not intended to be legal advice, but rather to help you start to identify
(before you even arrive in Panama) what options are available for you.
This is not a comprehensive list of all of the visas available in Panama - but
rather the visas that clients generally qualify for and are looking for.
You should consult a lawyer for any immigration application in Panama before you
get started.
