Panama offers the opportunity to gain permanent residency for those who invest a minimum of $300,000 in the country’s economy, through Real Estate or Certificates of Deposit (for 3 years or more). The visa, known as “The Qualified Investor Visa” introduced in 2012, allows investors to live and work in the country without needing to renew their visa. Additionally, the visa allows investors to bring their immediate family members, including spouses and children, to live with the in Panama.
Among the many benefits that the Qualified Investor Visa provides, it grants investors access to a tax-friendly environment, with low income tax rates and exemptions on foreign-earned income.
Panama has a growing and relatively stable financial sector, making it a good option for investors looking to diversify their investment in banking or Real Estate, potentially benefiting from higher return rates than they would find in other countries in the region.
The growing tourism industry and the high demand for rental properties from multinational companies’ employees provide investors the opportunity to invest in real estate projects with high profitability.
In addition to its financial benefits, Panama is also a beautiful tropical country and one of the most modern capitals of Latin America with rich history, vast natural beauty, and also with one of the best health care systems in Latin America.
