I would like to apply for the Panamanian Pensionado visa however I have a single, 40 year old misdemeanor on my record. I read where a clean record is required so wondering if my record will make it impossible for retirement Visa?

Please note that Panamanian immigration law states that applicants with a criminal record may be deemed ineligible. In such cases, the Panamanian lawyer or law firm must submit a special request to the National Immigration Service of Panama, which will determine whether the applicant can proceed with the application.

You can provide the lawyer with a scanned copy of your background check and grant them Power of Attorney to act on your behalf.

@Tagchato

Check with your lawyer before applying for the pensionado visa. You will need a Panamanian lawyer anyway so check with one of the immigration lawyers in Panama before you apply for the pensionado. Good luck.
