Moving to Panama.

Hey guys,
I'm a toursit visiting Panama from Trinidad and Tobago. So today I went to the immigration office for some advice to moving here.
The guy said that I can come and stay for three months and then go back for another three months. He said I'll have you keep doing this in order to get a visa. Have any of you done/ heard about this process before?


Warm Regards,

You can stay in Panama for 180 days as a tourist. If you drive though, your license is only good for 90 days. If you leave for 3 days (maybe less depending on the mood of the officer on duty) then you can drive for another 90 days. Confusing, I know.

By visa do you mean you want to become a resident of Panama? For that you need a lawyer and you can start the process at any time. Once your application is submitted it takes around 3 months. **** very good lawyer.

Some countries who don't have an agreement with Panama, those people need to apply for a visa to visit Panama. I don't know about Trinidad and Tabago, and if you need a visa how long it allows you to stay. I'm from the US where there is an agreement and we are allowed the 180 days I talked about above.

Good luck, hope that helps

If your country has an agreement with Panama similar to the US, this might also explain a bit https://blog.thepanamaadventure.com/201 … -tourists/

Hey there,
Thanks a lot for the information🙂. That's correct. I'm looking to obtain a residency visa however due to my status there isn't any option that suits me😞.
The only thing I was told is that I can become a student here or I can go and come every three months. However I have never heard of such an option.

Talk to M**** (website above) before you give up. Maybe he can find something that will work for you. You can't come and go every 3 months. You used to be able to, but not any more. Check the other link above for more info on that.
