Contract & Tender Eligibility

Many government contracts, tenders and financial institutions require companies with a minimum years of operation. An aged company meets those requirements immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most common questions we receive from clients around the world.

A standard Panamanian corporation (S.A.) can typically be incorporated within 3–5 business days. More complex structures or private interest foundations may take 7–10 days. We handle all filings and provide a complete corporate kit including apostilled documents.
Panama's Friendly Nations Visa grants permanent residency to citizens of approximately 50 designated countries (including the US, UK and EU nations) who can demonstrate economic ties to Panama — such as owning a company or real estate. It is one of the fastest and most accessible residency routes available.
No. The entire incorporation process can be completed remotely. We manage all filings on your behalf using a power of attorney. You receive your company documents digitally and by courier, without ever needing to travel to Panama.
Panama operates on a territorial tax system — only income sourced inside Panama is subject to local tax. Income generated abroad by a Panamanian entity is generally not taxed locally. Your home country's tax rules always apply; we recommend combining our advice with your local tax advisor's guidance.
Panama's banks have strengthened due diligence requirements in recent years. Account opening is very achievable but requires proper documentation and a compelling business rationale. We prepare your complete banking package and facilitate introductions to appropriate institutions based on your profile.
The Pensionado visa is available to retirees receiving a lifetime pension of at least $1,000/month. It offers permanent residency plus 20–50% discounts on healthcare, medications, transport, hotels and more. It is one of the most generous retirement programs in the world.
Yes. All client communications, documents and consultations are available in English. Our team is fully bilingual and regularly serves clients from North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific who require English-language legal services in Panama.
The free consultation covers a review of your situation, the best legal structure or pathway for your goals, estimated timelines and fees, and next steps. There is no obligation to proceed and all discussions are protected by attorney-client privilege.
