Your personal Panama residency or citizenship plan in 30 minutes
Take the stress out of Immigration
Are you moving to Panama?
Does any of this resonate with you?
- You have read a lot of information online, but government advice is confusing, and websites contradict each other.
- The advice online does not exactly fit your personal situation.
- Your Spanish isn’t fluent, and you’ll need it for your application and appointments.
- You don’t have the time and energy to deal with immigration red tape.
Hi, we are Alison and Alastair.
We have lived in six countries on four continents and traveled extensively. Each time we moved we’ve had to deal with a new immigration system. We’ve had to work out which residency permit is the best for us and deal with the uncertainty of not knowing the processes, procedures, and even if we’ll be accepted.
We have hired many immigration lawyers to help us. But it can go horribly wrong.
Like this time.
We chose an immigration lawyer that ranked top on Google. From the start, communication was sporadic. Pricing was unclear. We had unnecessary 7 am trips to the police station and mix-ups with appointments.
And what happened next was nothing short of heartbreaking.
Our son’s application was rejected.
After MONTHS of preparation, we had to start the entire process from scratch. All the time standing in immigration queues like cattle was to no avail.
There HAD to be an easier way!
We made it our mission to find the best immigration help for people like us.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED FOR YOU!
We have found partners in Panama who deliver everything we would have loved to have had when we moved.
- You will speak to an experienced, qualified immigration lawyer in English. It won't be the intern looking to upsell you, and you won't need Google to translate.
- They will listen to your specific requirements and recommend the best option for you and your family. Choosing between visa options should depend on your needs, not the commission earned.
- They'll be honest with you about each opportunity.
- They know the Panama immigration law inside out and know the best way to get through the red tape.
- They will get you the right appointment with the right office and accompany you to the interview if you need help. And they'll tell you the right time to be there!
- They'll offer transparent, open, and competitive pricing. You'll have no nasty surprises, and your quote will cover the services you choose.
It was so fantastic to have partners that we could trust to tell us honestly whether we were eligible and then clearly outline the steps to be taken. Highly recommended!
Samantha. P.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We've got A's for your Q's
What will the lawyer cost?
Every application varies, and so very few lawyers publish a price list. However, your lawyer should be able to give you an accurate quote once you have had your initial consultation and agreed on the required services. Do not proceed without a precise quote for the complete service. If a lawyer has prices quoted on their website, check to make sure it covers all parts of the service and there are no surprise add-ons and exclusions. And makes sure that the fee covers an administrative appeal if your application is rejected?
If I do use a lawyer, what services will they offer?
Lawyers in Panama offer a massive range of services. The firm you engage with should match your requirements. Some people opt for the full valet service, and others want their application checked before submission. Some firms only focus on specific areas of immigration law or a particular area of Panama.
Why should I pay for a consultation?
Most reputable immigration firms in Panama charge for a consultation. This allows them to take enough time to understand your situation and to give you an honest assessment of your case. And it means you'll meet with a qualified immigration lawyer and not the intern or admin. Free consultations are sometimes just a marketing strategy to push a standard sales pitch.
Why should I use the Where Can I Live Panama partner?
We have a detailed selection process for all our partners. We are so confident of service quality and value that we offer a 100% money-back guarantee. We’ll only ask why you were unhappy to improve our service, and you'll get your money back immediately no matter the answer.
Does your Panama partner speak English?
Yes, they speak fluent English.
Will my application be accepted?
There is no guarantee. Each consulate has slightly different processes. And the requirements change over time. However, a good partner will understand those details and ensure you don’t submit an application before it has the best possible chance of being approved.
Has COVID impacted being able to move to Panama?
Yes, the pandemic has impacted processing times and logistics. And, given the continuously changing circumstances, it is hard to be definitive. What we do know is that applications are still being accepted and processed but with some delays. And, as the vaccine rollout accelerates in Panama and around the world, the situation will improve.
