Pensionado Income

General info I find is 1000 for one and 1250 for a married couple, sometimes I see the couple rate at 1300.

If I am current on this, the 1000 is for one, and it is 1400 for two. Check the Panama Embassy site. You need to prove the income is FOR LIFE and supply evidence of this.

It's 1,000. for one and 1,250. if you're married. It has to be a guaranteed income for life. If you are coming from the U.S. that is usually your Social Security. Or it can be a defined retirement plan. Such as a union retirement or Gov. retirement of something that guarantees you this income until the day you die. It will have to be certified with the Panamanian consulate in the U.S. The Social Security department will give you a letter that will be notarized to send to the consulate. You mush research pensionado program in panama. Hope this helps

$1000 plus $250 for each dependent. This is per month and must be for life.

Hello there, according to the Panama Law, the minimun price for a pensionado or retirado visa is $1500.00 for one person that include your partner. this price is fixed in the especial book for the minimun prices  hier in Panama. The name of the booki is "Normas que Regulan  el Ejercicio de la Abogacia". So is somebody is charging you $1000.00  for getting a retirado or pensionado visa, for yourself he is doing it for low prices, which is fine.
