International Relocation Firm provides competent immigration attorneys to assist foreigners with a Panama Tax Free Processing Zone Investor Visa.
This program allows Panama foreign investors to obtain Panama legal residency under the condition that they must rent a plot of land or an office or building (rented through a 10 to 20 year concession) within one of the new tax free processing zones in Panama, for the purpose of operating a business from Panama that exports its products or services. This is a Panama Visa providing Panama legal residency for Panama foreign investors. All Panama Tax Free Processing Zones, including the Colon Free Trade Zone, investors qualify for this Panama Visa. Panama immigration officials welcome foreign investors who can generate business from Panama across the globe.
Since the turn-over of the US military bases in Panama, the Panamanian government has designated several of these areas as “Tax Free Processing Zones”, with similar tax benefits as the existing Colon Free Trade Zone (the second largest distribution center in the world). These tax free processing zones have distinct tax advantages for operating manufacturing plants, assembly plants, software creation facilities, call centers, and other such businesses that export their products or services. These businesses also get a substantial tax break on a certain percentage of their products or services sold locally.
