Panama halves permit for foreigners
Thursday, January 12, 2017
The year-long temporary permit for foreigners to complete their procedures seeking permanent or temporary residence in Panama has been cut to six months, starting Tuesday Jan. 10. Since 2010, the term has been one year.
An executive decree says that immigration issues are resolved within six months, “so it is not necessary that the procedure permit has a validity for longer than that term".
