The Panamanian government has created several laws which enable foreigners to obtain legal residency and citizenship / passports in the Republic of Panama. Most of these laws have been created to promote foreign investment in the country which benefits the local environment or local economy of Panama.

Many international investors and companies find Panama to be an excellent location for investing in reforestation, manufacturing plants, assembly plants, distribution facilities for import/export, software creation facilities, call centers, and a variety of other business activities. Many times, investors find that legal residency qualification is just an "extra benefit" to the investments that they are making in Panama.

Obtaining a second residency in Panama is useful for those who wish to:

· Have a second home overseas in a tropical country where they can live at or visit.
· Have a "safe haven" to escape to in the event of war or any type of civil unrest that may threaten their family.
· Actually live in Panama permanently, perhaps after retirement.
· Relocate to a tropical, stable, safe country where it is very economical to live in comparison with most other developed countries such as the US, Canada, Europe, etc.
· Relocate to a more "tax friendly" country where foreign earned income, capital gains, and interest income is not taxed.
· Relocate to a country where frivolous lawsuits are not recognized by courts, and assets can be truly protected through a corporate shield, without the risks of "piercing the corporate veil".
· Relocate to a country where one can begin business operations economically, and without heavy restrictions, regulations, or taxes that hinder the growth of the business.
· Relocate to a country where real estate is still affordable for purchasing homes in the city or land at the beaches, mountains, lakes, etc.
