The Panama Friendly Nations Visa application includes one main applicant and optional dependents, such as a spouse and children up to 25 years old.
The visa requires our clients to open a personal account in
Panama and fund with $5,000.00 and also to incorporate a company where
our lawyer will appoint you as the director/president and shareholder.
You will need to plan to
travel to Panama at least twice so
we can arrange for:
1.
Firstly, the opening
of a personal bank account at a local Panama bank where you’ll need to deposit
$5,000.00 as a minimum once the bank account is open. This process takes 15-30
business days. However, the bank account is the principal requirement to
continue with the rest of the set-up process.
Once the bank account is open, we proceed to
incorporate the company where you will need to be appointed as president and
shareholder. We need to prove to the immigration office that you are going to
use this company in Panama for a professional purpose.
We will also proceed to have your passport registered at the
immigration office at this time.
2.
Once the bank account is open, you’ll need to deposit $5,000
and request a bank statement of account to the bank with their stamp on it.
Then you travel back to Panama in order to:
A. Get the health exams
B. Sign a few forms for the immigration office and power of attorney
C. Go to the immigration office to file the application
Required documents for the Visa:
1. Valid passport with validity of at least 6 months
2. Police record issued by the FBI/RCMP or the
correct authority in your country that issues these documents, with the
apostille or legalized before a Panama Consulate
3. Secondary ID, like a driver’s license.
All documents issued in a foreign language have
to be translated into Spanish.
To open the bank account you will need to bring
with you the following documents:
– Reference letter from a bank
– Reference letter from a lawyer, accountant or other professional
– Reference letter from a business partner
– Copy of your entire passport (the bank can make a copy)
– Copy of a secondary ID such as a driver’s license
– Proof of income, which can be provided in the
form of payment stub from your current employment or by submitting the last
three tax returns you have filed.
