- The functions exercised must have effects abroad.
- Proof that income comes from a foreign source.
- Receive an annual income of not less than US$36,000.00 or its equivalent in foreign currency.
This visa will be valid for nine (9) months, and may be extended once for the same period and grants the foreigner the right to work remotely within Panama. Additionally, this visa does not require procedures before other institutions, nor a work permit.
