Digital Nomad Visa Panama

#digitalnomad

About

Among the most visited parts of Central America is Panama, which is known for its financial hub, beaches, mountains, and colonial and modern architecture. Consider searching for a place where you may experience nature, take advantage of magnificent beaches, and benefit from a free and thriving economy. If so, Panama might be the ideal location for you!

The Short-Stay Visa for Remote Workers was formally established by the Panamanian government in May 2021. The Covid-19 aftermath had an impact on how people worked, which is why the initiative was taken. Panama seeks to draw digital nomads and freelancers who will support the economy through investment and consumption by providing a digital nomad visa.

  • To carry out duties that have an impact abroad.
  • To have a transnational contract with a foreign corporation.
  • Possess a yearly income from outside Brazil of at least 36,000 balboas, or the equivalent in another currency.

Documents

You must provide,

  • Three passport-sized coloured photographs of the applicant..
  • A copy of the applicant's medical insurance, which must be current for both Panama and the duration of the applicant's stay.

  • Sworn rejection of a job offer or service provided on the national territory.
  • A receipt of the visa fee paid to the National Immigration Service.
  • Proof that you have an annual income of 36,000 USD.
