    The remote worker or Digital Nomad Visa is a short-term visa, which will allow you to obtain a nine month visa, renewable for an additional nine months, totaling 18 months. It will not lead to a permanent residency status, which is essential to obtain a Tax Residency Certificate.

    No, it's not possible. Tax residency requires a minimum stay of 183 days and Panama needs to be main place of residency. If you become tax resident in Panama, you will not pay taxes on your foreign income and depending on your taxes in your home country you might not but it depends.
