Friendly Nations Visa — Bank Deposit — Premium Package

A more complete banking, residency and arrival coordination experience

The Panama Friendly Nations Visa — Bank Deposit — Premium Package is designed for eligible applicants who want more than the essential banking and immigration workflow.

For many clients, the bank deposit option is not only a financial requirement. It is also a relocation, family mobility, document and post-approval planning project.

The client may need to prepare a bank profile, organize source-of-funds documentation, coordinate fund transfers, create the fixed-term deposit, prepare immigration evidence, travel to Panama with family, obtain resident cards, coordinate cédula steps when applicable, evaluate tax ID needs and plan future permanent residence follow-up.

The Premium Package adds a practical, higher-touch coordination layer to the Friendly Nations bank deposit residency process.

It is especially valuable for clients relocating with family, clients arriving in Panama for the first time, or clients who want a smoother transition after approval.

Ongoing post-approval coordination
