Second citizenship & Panama: your plan B for security and freedom in 2025
The current geopolitical situation, with a possible resumption of compulsory military service, a potential escalation of the war between Ukraine and Russia and other tensions, clearly shows that the security and stability that used to be taken for granted are no longer the case. More and more people are therefore looking for a Plan B for their family – a second citizenship is a safeguard that creates independence, protection and new prospects.
Global passports are a crucial building block in this process: a second citizenship or even several passports, which are made possible by targeted investments. In combination with a residence permit in Panama and investments in real estate, this creates a unique basis for security, mobility and financial freedom.
Why a second passport is so important today
A second passport offers protection in times of crisis and considerably increases freedom of action. In uncertain times, it can:
- Ensure international mobility – even if borders are closed.
- Enable residence in safe countries.
- Open up additional options for the family – from education to career opportunities.
- Provide valuable protection against geopolitical risks.
Many countries now offer so-called Passport by Investment or Citizenship by Investment programs, which allow investors to acquire a second citizenship.
Important: These programs for a second citizenship are not available in Panama, but in other selected countries worldwide. In Panama itself, the focus is on obtaining lifetime residency, which already offers significant benefits. Only after 5 years of holding permanent residency is it possible to apply for Panamanian citizenship.
Why Panama is the ideal starting point
Panama is considered one of the best places in the world for a Plan B. The country impresses with:
- Stable democracy and economy
- Visa programs with easy application for a residence permit
- The opportunity to apply for Panamanian citizenship after 5 years of holding permanent residency
- Attractive opportunities to invest in Panama – especially through real estate
- A modern banking system that meets international standards

Security for your family in uncertain times
In a world characterized by constant change and uncertainty, more and more people are looking for stable alternatives for their future. The desire for a Plan B has become a pressing concern in recent years. Panama has established itself as a promising option that not only offers year-round sunshine, but also security and prospects for the whole family.
Wave of emigration
In recent months, we have seen a significant increase in clients realizing their Plan B in Panama or even emigrating. Many of our clients have shared their reasons with us, ranging from the worrying geopolitical situation in Europe – particularly the Ukraine conflict – to uncertainties in the political landscape. We would like to share these motivations of our clients here.
Plan B includes investing in a property in Panama to obtain a residence permit in Panama for the whole family.
One of the main reasons for this decision is the impending escalation of the war in Ukraine with Russia, which could also affect neighboring countries and therefore Europe. The latest political decisions, which include an increased military presence in the region, are causing unease among many. Added to this is the uncertainty surrounding future political developments, such as the possible inauguration of Donald Trump in 2025, which is causing fears of an unstable future.

Advantages of a Plan B in Panama
1. Low minimum investment: you can invest in a property in Panama for as little as USD 200,000 to obtain a permanent residence permit in Panama. This low barrier to entry allows many families to consider this step.
2. Flexible residence permit: You are not obliged to live in Panama permanently. One visit every two years is sufficient to maintain your residence permit in Panama. This means that you can continue to live in your home country while retaining the option of security in Panama.
3. Strong currency: The US dollar as the national currency offers you additional financial stability. This security is a great advantage, especially in times of economic uncertainty.
4. Property management: We offer you comprehensive support in managing and renting out your property so that you can continue to benefit from your investment while you are away.
