Real estate advisory for investors
who already have capital
and want returns.

Land, developer-backed plots, licensed short-term rentals and pre-public founders allocations. Real prices from official lists — and a team that tells you when a deal doesn't fit you.

The investor-visa window is
US$200,000 wide — and closing.

Panama's Qualified Investor Visa currently grants immediate permanent residency for US$300,000 in real estate. Under Executive Decree 193, that threshold is scheduled to revert to US$500,000 on 15 October 2026. The Dossier 2026 explains what that means for your capital — and the three other ways into this market.

  • The four investment paths, compared honestly — land, plots, licensed short-term rentals, founders lists
  • Annual property tax scales under Law 66, with the real cost on a $300k unit
  • All six residency routes side by side, including the details most sites omit
  • What a square metre costs here versus London, New York and Miami
  • Holding structures — corporation, foundation, or neither

The threshold has been extended before and may be extended again — nobody can promise you either way. We publish what the decree currently says and let you decide on the rule, not on a broker's prediction.

Panama isn't one market. It's four.

Most buyers arrive thinking "apartment in Panama City." Then they discover raw land appreciating aggressively before zoning, developer-backed plots ready to build, licensed short-term rental buildings yielding 6–8% net, and founders lists returning 15–20% on paper. Each path has different capital requirements, timelines and risk profiles. We help you pick the right one — before you spend two Saturdays touring the wrong properties.

🌱 Lands

Raw land before zoning — the most aggressive appreciation curve in the country. Higher risk, highest upside.

📐 Plots of Land

Developer-backed lots in master-planned communities like Altos de María and Buenaventura. Buy, build, sell — with infrastructure already in place.

🏙️ Short-Term Rentals

One project carries a contractually guaranteed 8% annual minimum; others are operator-projected at 8–12.6% net. Plus countryside markets — Boquete, Venao, Bocas, Valle de Antón — with no license required at all.

📈 Founders Lists

Pre-public allocations with proven developers. Paper investments with typical ROI of 15–20% — and they qualify for Panama's investor visa.

One team, one point of contact, across the entire journey. You move at your pace — we handle the rest.

I
Discover

A dossier, an article, one message on WhatsApp. Nothing begins until you decide it does.

II
Consult

A real conversation about your goals, your budget, and — honestly — whether Panama fits you at all.

III
Curate

Three options at most. The ones that match your brief, never the ones we happen to need to move.

IV
Verify

Licences, titles, building finances, operator numbers. Every claim checked before you commit a dollar.

V

Negotiation, notary, registry. The paperwork handled end to end, so you sign and little else.

VI
Settle in

Management, accounting, relocation — as much or as little as you want, for as long as you want it.

Curated projects. Verified numbers. No developer name-dropping.

Panama market practice requires us to register each client directly with the developer — it protects you from duplicate-registration conflicts and protects our ability to negotiate for you. That's why our public listings show the project, the numbers and the thesis, and the developer's identity is disclosed the moment you register with us. Every figure below comes from official price lists and operator fact sheets — not estimates.
