Course Description
Panama's Short-Stay Remote Worker Visa allows digital nomads to live for an initial nine months, extendable to eighteen months, while working remotely for foreign employers or clients entirely outside Panama. Panama's territorial tax system means that foreign-sourced income is completely exempt from Panamanian income tax, making it particularly attractive to entrepreneurs, crypto traders, and high earners. The National Migration Service (SNM) processes applications that are among the simplest in Latin America. This course covers the Panama digital nomad visa, tax strategy, banking, and the pathway to Friendly Nations Permanent Residency.
