Law 3 Supports Investment in Panama
In an attempt at lessening the impact of barriers to investment in Panama, the government recently loosened immigration laws specific to foreign investors and skilled workers seeking visit or settle here.
Decree Law #3 was passed in 2008 to create mechanisms through which visitors could obtain temporary or permanent residency, work permits, and in some instances, citizenship entitling them to a Panamanian passport. The driver behind Law #3 was Panama’s desire to open the country to persons able to promote the Panama’s economic interests via investments of capital and/or exceptional skills. If you fit in either category, you can anticipate a warm welcome here.
An expanding community of international investors and businesses has discovered the tremendous benefits arising from a relationship with this forward looking nation.

Panama offers some of the most interesting and exciting lifestyles in the world. Your residency here can be a path to Panamanian citizenship providing the substantial benefits associated with dual citizenship.
