Project Description<\/p>\n
\u2022 Policy nature: The \u201cQualified Investor Scheme\u201d framework was established under Administrative Decree No. 722 of 2012. Decree No. 193 (effective in October 2024) lowered the real estate investment threshold from US$500,000 to US$300,000. Amendment No. 299 of 2025 introduced a three-in-one identity system of \u201cpermanent residency + local ID + travel passport\u201d. The travel passport can cover more than 140 countries (including the EU Schengen Area, the UK, Japan, Singapore, etc.). At the same time, the citizenship policy has been opened in the past two years.
\n\u2022 Application Pathways: There are three official channels for "Qualified Investor" status: \u2460 Real Estate Investment Immigration (US$300,000): Purchase compliant real estate in Panama (new homes\/second-hand homes\/land\/commercial properties are all acceptable) and hold it for at least 5 years; \u2461 Securities Immigration (US$500,000): Purchase securities listed on the Panama Stock Exchange and hold them for at least 5 years; \u2462 Certificate of Deposit Immigration (US$750,000): Deposit the equivalent value of assets in the National Bank of Panama as a time deposit with a lock-up period of no less than 5 years.
\n\u2022 Note on property type: Both owner-occupied and commercial properties are acceptable. Purchasing a regular, unregistered property, even if the value exceeds $300,000, will not meet the permanent residency application requirements. You must choose an "immigrant-class property" certified by the Panamanian Immigration Service.
\n\u2022 ID Card Usage: The Panamanian ID card obtained simultaneously is only issued to qualified investors and can be used to open accounts at local banks in Panama (no passport information required), which helps to achieve cross-border asset isolation and risk avoidance on a global scale.
\n\u2022 Pathway to Citizenship (Passport): After holding permanent residency for 5 years and meeting the residency requirement of "entering Panama once every two years," you can apply for Panamanian citizenship (passport). A full Panamanian passport grants visa-free access to 150 countries and regions. Alternatively, you can obtain EU citizenship more quickly through the "Spanish Citizenship by Residence after 2 Years" pathway (with a bilateral agreement with Spain). It is recommended to have a stable record of living in Panama (such as bank statements, utility bills, or proof of a fixed monthly income) before submitting your citizenship application.
\n\u2022 E-2 Treaty Investor Pathway (Multiple Steps to the US): After three years of citizenship, Panamanian citizens can apply for a US E-2 Treaty Investor visa, allowing their entire family to reside, work, and attend public primary and secondary schools in the US long-term. Compared to directly applying for an EB-5 immigrant visa, the E-2 visa has a minimum investment threshold of $200,000, a shorter processing time of approximately three months, and no quota restrictions or waiting lists, making it a viable alternative for "indirectly accessing the US."<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
