Why a Free Zone

Questions

Common Questions About Panama

Generally no — incorporation can typically be handled without you being physically present. Some later steps, such as banking or biometrics for a visa, may require a visit. How this applies to your situation is confirmed during your consultation.

Free-zone companies can generally support residence visas for owners and employees, and family sponsorship is often available. Eligibility depends on your circumstances and is confirmed with you directly.

Free zones generally support a broad range — regional headquarters, professional services, technology, holding and investment, marketing and trade. We help match your activities to the right setup.

The business licence is issued by the relevant free-zone authority. VisaPlex provides the planning, eligibility guidance and end-to-end support around it.
