Qualified Investor Permanent Residence (Inversionista Calificado)

Decreto Ejecutivo 722 of 2020 sets a high minimum threshold, with accepted forms including titled real estate, securities through a licensed Panamanian brokerage, or a fixed-term bank deposit, each held for a required term. Because the figure is set by decree, confirm the current amount on the official SNM page.

The Qualified Investor category is designed to grant permanent residence directly, subject to maintaining the qualifying investment for the required term. Confirm the current process and conditions on the official SNM page.

The qualifying real estate must be free of liens, and property that is not free of liens is a common reason this route fails. Confirm the accepted investment conditions on the official SNM page.

Both are investment-style routes to permanent residence, but the Qualified Investor category (Decreto 722 of 2020) is designed to grant permanent residence directly against a high qualifying investment, while Economic Solvency is based on evidencing your own economic means through a qualifying deposit or titled real estate at the amount set by regulation. Confirm the current amounts and conditions for each on the official SNM page.

Among the required documents is proof of the international transfer of the invested funds, alongside the property title (free of liens), brokerage certification, or bank certification of the fixed-term deposit. Confirm the current evidence list on the official SNM page.
