Program overview

The Panama Retirees and Pensioners Visa was created back in the eighties, to promote the residential tourism in the country, which got its peak in the last decade, keeping up to the present.

Under this residence program, the applicant is only required to present evidence of a monthly income and for life, of at least US$1,000.00 per month, or its equivalent if in another currency. With the acquisition of property in Panama for a minimum value of $100,000, a monthly retirement or pension income of $750 is permissible.

The referred income must be in the form of a pension or retirement, from a government agency or from an authorized and regulated retirement agency or private company, for which additional documentation shall be required.

The general requirements to apply for the Retirees and Pensioners’ Visa are:

  • Valid passport for at least 6 months from application date.
  • 5 passport size photos (2inch x 2inch).
  • National criminal background certificate (FBI report), recently issued, apostilled/ authenticated by a Panamanian Consulate in the issuing country– valid for 6 months.
