| Income requirement | No recurring income minimum is stated on the official procedure page for this category. The qualifying basis is a minimum B/.300,000 investment in Panamanian real estate, a fixed-term deposit, or a combination, with proof that funds came from abroad.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
| Savings requirement | The required financial qualification is the B/.300,000 investment; the official procedure also requires B/.2,000 additional solvency for each dependant. This is not a separate general savings-balance test.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |

| Government fees | The official Panama Digital procedure summary reviewed states the eligibility/investment and dependant-solvency requirements but does not publish a total application fee. Confirm current government and professional charges with the National Migration Service or authorized counsel.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
| Processing time | The official Panama Digital procedure page does not publish a standard processing-time estimate for this permanent-residence application.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
| Validity | The Panama Digital procedure identifies this as a permanent-resident permit. An older SNM fixed-deposit checklist described a two-year provisional stage before permanent residence; because the current Panama Digital listing describes the category as permanent, confirm which investment sub-route and current rule apply before filing.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
| Renewal | The official procedure describes permanent residence and does not specify a recurring visa renewal schedule. Residence-card replacement/renewal formalities may be separate; confirm the current card process with SNM.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
| Family inclusion | Dependants may be included, with an additional B/.2,000 solvency per person; the official procedure says dependent applications must also meet the requirements for the family-reunification/dependent permit.As of 2026-10-09Source 1 |
| Spouse work rights | The residence category does not itself state that a spouse receives work authorization. MITRADEL lists a separate work-permit category for qualifying economic-solvency residents; the spouse's own authorization must be confirmed independently.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
| Local-work rules | Permanent residence under economic solvency is distinct from work authorization. MITRADEL lists a separate labor-permit category for qualifying economic-solvency residents; do not treat the investment or residence permit alone as permission to work.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
| Application location | The procedure is administered by Panama's National Migration Service under its Permanent Residents department. Panama Digital lists SNM's Vía Ricardo J. Alfaro, Tumba Muerto office; the online summary does not detail every filing step or appointment requirement.As of 2026-10-09Source 1Source 2 |
