Panama's Short Stay Visa for Remote Workers (Executive Decree 198 of 2021) allows a 9-month stay, extendable once for 9 more months, for remote workers earning at least USD 36,000/year from outside Panama. Government fees total USD 300 (USD 250 application plus USD 50 immigration card), and applications are filed with the National Immigration Service in Panama, usually through a local lawyer. Foreign income is untaxed under Panama's territorial system, but the visa offers no direct path to permanent residency.
