Country overview
About Panama
For clients in Pakistan, Panama is a Decree 722 investor corridor. Friendly Nations is not available to Pakistani nationals. The programme we brief is Qualified Investor / Economic Solvency under Decree 722. Relocate is yes.
Real-estate figures are about USD 300,000, moving to about USD 500,000 from 16 October 2026. Securities and fixed-deposit routes sit higher than the real-estate band. We do not add extra dollar amounts.
A Panamanian company can hold an investment. Forming the company is not residence. We coordinate purchase or deposit structuring and licensed Panamanian counsel. Digital-nomad visas and offshore-shell stories are not this product.
The October 2026 real-estate step-up and the higher securities and fixed-deposit routes will move. Requirements are set by the host government and are verified with licensed counsel before engagement. Outcomes are not guaranteed.
Who this is for
Designed for investors who can meet Decree 722 (real estate about USD 300,000, about USD 500,000 from 16 October 2026; securities and fixed deposits higher). A poor fit for Friendly Nations, which is not available to Pakistani nationals, or for treating a company filing as the visa.
Timeline
Investment plus residence processing is typically several months. Plan around the 16 October 2026 real-estate change. Dates are not guaranteed.
Programme rules, fees, and capital thresholds are set by the host government and change. Figures on this page reflect our latest review and are verified with licensed counsel before engagement.

Company formation
Forming a Panama company is a separate mandate from residence. If the immigration plan requires a local entity, we coordinate that workstream on its own terms. Formation does not grant the right to live in Panama.
