An immigration lawyer in Panama who works the way you expect back home
Moving your life, your family, or your business to Panama involves more than filling out a form. It means dealing with Panama's National Immigration Service (Servicio Nacional de Migración), understanding which visa category actually fits your situation, and making sure every document is authenticated the way Panamanian authorities require. Abogados FP has built its immigration practice around exactly that: guiding foreign nationals — retirees, remote professionals, investors, and families — through the Panamanian system in plain English, with real people answering your questions.
Who we help
- Retirees evaluating the Pensionado (retirement) visa or comparing it against other paths.
- Professionals and remote workers who need a work permit to be legally employed in Panama.
- Investors and business owners setting up a company and needing the right residency category to match it.
- Families relocating together, where dependents need to be included correctly from the first filing.
- Long-term residents ready to take the next step toward Panamanian citizenship.
What working with us actually looks like
We start with a real conversation about your situation — your pension, your job offer, your investment, your family — before recommending a category. Panama offers several residency routes, and the fastest or cheapest one on paper is not always the right one for your specific documents and timeline. We prepare and file your application, coordinate the required medical and background checks, and stay with you through renewals and the eventual path to permanent residency or citizenship, not just the first approval.
Where to find us
Abogados FP has physical offices in Costa del Este, Panama City, and in Coronado, Panamá Oeste — both serving in-person clients, in addition to remote consultations for clients who are still abroad.
