Immigration Regularization is through Lawyers
Important: As of January 1, 2021, all procedures carried out by the immigration regularization process must be presented and managed only by a lawyer.
Complying with the ruling issued by the Third Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of Panama, dated September 3, 2020, it was reported that as of January 1, 2021, that all procedures carried out under the protection of Decree 167 of 2016, It can only be presented and managed by a lawyer.
What is the immigration regularization process?
This procedure is for foreigners who have been irregularly within Panamanian territory for 1 year or more and have not legalized their stay in Panama.
We must highlight the fact that at this time the National Migration Service of the Republic of Panama does not admit new applications and at the moment it is only accepting renewal applications.
Through Executive Decree No. 169 dated May 22, 2015, is authorized the renewal of the Provisional Residence Permits granted within the Extraordinary Immigration Regularization Processes and through Executive Decree No. 167 dated June 3, 2016 which establishes the General Immigration Regularization procedure.
By means of these Executive Decrees already named, Provisional Permits were issued for renewal of 10 years and 6 years respectively.
Subsequently, through Executive Decree 249 dated June 10, 2019, the procedures and necessary requirements are established to give Definitive Permanence to foreigners who have obtained a 10-year renewal of their Permit for Extraordinary Immigration Regularization Process and renewal of your 6-year card of your Provisional Permit for General Immigration Regularization.
