How do you lose permanent residence in Panama?
First of all we must emphasize that in Panama there is no obligation of physical residence, therefore a person loses their Permanent Residence in Panama only if they do not return to the country within a period of 2 years.
For this reason, a person can have their tax residence in Panama and live in the place that suits them best.
How to rehabilitate permanent residence in Panama?
The National Migration Service, SNM, established that Permanent Residents who have remained outside of Panama for more than 2 years and up to 6 years, may rehabilitate their Permanent Residence.
The previous Resolution No. 17405, defines the steps to follow and requirements that must be presented. It is important to highlight the fact that the request to Rehabilitate Permanent Residence in Panama must be presented through a Legal Representative (Panamanian lawyer).
