When we asked expats in Panama if foreigners are allowed to own property, they answered...

"Yes, foreigners are allowed to own property in Panama with few restrictions. Foreigners have the same rights as Panamanian citizens to acquire property, whether for personal use or as an investment," wrote Moises Alvarado N. from Panama Legal Business (PANLEB).

"Yes, foreigners are allowed to own property in Panama. The Panamanian government has established a legal framework that allows foreign individuals and companies to purchase and own real estate in the country. Foreigners can purchase property in their own name, or through a Panamanian corporation. The process of purchasing property in Panama is relatively straightforward and can be completed in a few weeks. Additionally, foreign investors are eligible for the same tax benefits as Panamanian citizens," commented one expat who made the move to Panama.
