Who Friendly Nations (stage 1, provisional residence) is for
For investors, remote workers, freelancers and people with passive income from more than 50 countries on Panama's list of friendly nations (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein among them; we check your passport before you order), who build an economic tie to Panama without forming a company.
Requirements

Stage 2: permanent residence after two years: USD 4,600, to be ordered later. Not part of this order; you order the second stage when the time comes.
