Why foreigners choose Panama.
U.S. dollar economy
The U.S. dollar circulates as legal tender alongside the balboa, which is at par with it.
Territorial taxation
As a general rule, income from foreign sources is not taxed in Panama. Each case deserves a specific review.
A program for retirees
The Pensionado visa, based on Law 9 of 1987, grants permanent residency to foreigners with a lifetime pension.
A maritime and logistics hub
The Panama Canal and one of the world's largest ship registries make Panama a base for trade and shipping.
