Sound Familiar?

You’ve been researching Panama residency for weeks maybe months and the more you read, the less clear things get.

Every blog, every forum, every YouTube video tells you something slightly different. Requirements seem to change depending on who’s talking. And you’re left wondering:

?

Which residency program do I actually qualify for?

?

What documents do I need—and will my country's paperwork be accepted?

?

How long will this really take?

?

What happens if I make a mistake and my application gets denied?

Clarity Before Commitment

That's what a consultation with Diego is designed to give you.

In a single conversation, you’ll walk away knowing:

✅ Which residency program fits your nationality, financial profile, and goals

✅ What documents you'll need and how to prepare them including apostilles, translations, and country-specific requirements

✅ A realistic timeline from application to approval

✅ What the process costs, legal fees, government fees, and everything in between

✅ Whether your family members can be included in the same application

No jargon. No runaround. Just a clear picture of what your path to Panama looks like — and whether it makes sense for you right now.

Panama Has Several Paths to Residency. Here Are the Most Common.

Every client’s situation is different. Diego will recommend the right path for yours. Here’s an overview of the programs most international clients use:

Diego Sepulveda

Diego is the founding attorney of LexBridge Group and the person you'll work with directly — from your first consultation to your approved residency permit.

Over the past decade, he's guided hundreds of international clients through Panama's immigration system. He knows which programs work for which nationalities, what documents immigration officers actually look for, and how to avoid the delays that trip up applicants who try to navigate this alone.

“

Diego picks up the phone. He answers the WhatsApp. He doesn't delegate your case to a junior associate and disappear.

When you work with LexBridge, you're working with the lawyer — not a firm that puts a name on the website and a different person on the call.

Your Questions, Answered

It depends on the program. During your free consultation, Diego will give you a transparent breakdown of legal fees, government fees, and any other costs involved — so you can make an informed decision before committing.
Most residency programs take between 3 and 6 months from the date of filing. Timelines vary depending on the program, your documentation, and current processing speeds at the Immigration Service. Diego will give you a realistic estimate based on your specific case.
For most programs, yes — you’ll need to be in Panama at least for the filing and biometric appointment. However, much of the preparation (document gathering, apostilles, translations) can be done from your home country before you arrive. Diego will coordinate the timeline so your trip to Panama is as efficient as possible.
Denials are rare when the application is properly prepared. Diego reviews every document before filing to minimize risk. In the unlikely event of an issue, he’ll advise you on next steps whether that’s an appeal, additional documentation, or an alternative program.
Yes. Most residency programs allow dependents (spouse and children under 18) to be included in the same application. Diego will explain the requirements for each family member during your consultation.
Yes. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation. It’s designed to give you clarity on your options so you can make a confident decision — whether or not you decide to work with LexBridge.
