Work Permits
For foreigners who wish to obtain a work permit to seek employment in Panama, there is a separate application process that begins only after having obtained residency.
Generally, anyone who has held residency in Panama for 10 years can apply for a work permit. However, there are much shorter and more direct processes to obtain a work permit depending on which visa process the applicant pursued to obtain residency.
Check out our article about the Panama work permit, as well as other articles that we publish about living and doing business in Panama.
Please contact us if you have questions or would like to discuss the application process and requirements.
