Nationals not on Panama's visa-waiver list apply for a stamped visa at a Panamanian consulate (about USD 50); nationals of a smaller restricted list need an 'authorized visa' pre-approved by the National Immigration Service. Stays granted are typically 30 to 90 days depending on nationality and the visa issued. Approval can take up to 30 business days and the applicant must appear in person for the passport stamp.

Panama Rentista Retirado (Private Income Retiree) Visa
Temporary residence for foreigners living off passive income of at least USD 850/month generated exclusively by interest on a fixed-term deposit at Banco Nacional de Panamá or Caja de Ahorros, unencumbered for at least 5 years (in practice a deposit of roughly USD 200,000-350,000 depending on rates). The permit is granted for 5 years and renewable for equal periods while the deposit is maintained, and holders may apply for a special Panamanian travel passport (which does not confer citizenship). Early withdrawal of the deposit before 5 years forfeits the Law 9/1987 incentives.

Panama Pensionado (Retiree) Permanent Residence
Permanent residence for foreigners receiving a lifetime pension of at least USD 1,000/month from a foreign government, international organization or private company; the threshold drops to USD 750/month if the applicant owns Panamanian property worth over USD 100,000, and spouses may combine pensions to reach USD 1,000. An extra USD 250/month is required per dependent. Residence is granted indefinitely in one step (no renewal needed), the permit is exempt from the usual SNM fees, and Law 6/1987 grants extensive discounts (medicines, restaurants, utilities, airfare); pensionados generally cannot later naturalize via this category alone but keep residence by visiting Panama every 2 years.
