Yes. In many cases, you can begin preparing documents and planning your residency application before arriving in Panama. Getting organized in advance can help make the process smoother once you're here.
What documents will I need for residency?
The required documents vary depending on the residency program you choose, but they often include items such as a valid passport, police background check, birth certificate, marriage certificate (if applicable), and proof of income or financial resources. Your attorney will provide a personalized checklist based on your circumstances.

Processing times vary depending on the residency program and government processing schedules. During your consultation, Prime Solutions Tax & Legal will explain the expected timeline and what to expect throughout each step of the process.
Do I need to be in Panama during the residency process?
