Residency Strategy

Residency Through Real Estate Investment

Panama’s Qualified Investor Visa allows foreign investors to pursue legal residency through a qualifying investment — including the acquisition of real estate.

Qualified Investor Visa · Real Estate Option

$300,000

Minimum qualifying real estate investment, in US dollars. Eligibility depends on the structure, documentation and current legal requirements.

Core Requirements

Held Through a Corporation or Foundation

Where the investment is held by a corporation or private foundation, the beneficial owner must be clearly identified and additional corporate documentation is required.

Investment Options Under the Qualified Investor Visa

The real estate route is one of several qualifying pathways. Each carries its own thresholds, documentation and timelines.

01 Pre-Construction Real Estate / Promise to Purchase

Qualification through a promise-to-purchase agreement on a pre-construction development, allowing investors to enter a project ahead of delivery. The qualifying amount and supporting documentation are evaluated case by case.

Acquisition of titled property registered in the Public Registry of Panama, supported by certification of ownership and an ANATI valuation, with funds demonstrably sourced from abroad.
Qualification through investment in securities via the Panamanian stock market, executed through a licensed local brokerage and held under the conditions established by current regulation.
Qualification through a fixed-term deposit placed with a bank in the Panamanian financial system, maintained for the term and amount required by the applicable framework.

Residency eligibility depends on the investment amount, the chosen structure, the supporting documentation and current legal requirements, which may change. The figures and conditions above are indicative and do not constitute legal advice. Guiraud Law evaluates each case individually before any commitment is made.
