• Declaration of personal background.
• Panamanian bank reference letter with a balance greater than USD $5,000, to demonstrate economic means.

• If the application needs to include dependents, the applicant also needs to include:
• Letter of accountability for these dependents.
• Proof of ties between the applicant and each dependent.
• Proof of address – applicant and dependent must live in the same address.

This visa carries many benefits for Italian citizens. For instance, the applicant’s spouse and dependents do NOT have to be Italian citizens to be included in the application. This process also provides a path to obtain Panamanian ID (cedula). Finally, this Visa does NOT require neither an initial investment nor purchasing a property in Panama.
