Legal Residency in Panama in 5 Business Days — Friendly Nations Program
What is the Friendly Nations Visa?
Panama created the Friendly Nations program to simplify permanent residency for citizens of 50 friendly nations, including France, Belgium, Switzerland, and many more. It is the fastest and most accessible path to legally settling in Panama.
No minimum real estate investment or high monthly income is required — you simply need to demonstrate an economic tie to Panama (local bank account, registered company, or employment).
