How long is the Panama Business Investors Visa valid for?
I was told that it is possible to start up a business in Panama with a business investors visa. How long is the visa valid for? Does the performance of the business impact the visa? Does this visa lead to permanent residency?

Most Panama investment visa/residency applications grant permanent residency, which is indefinite. The most common option is the friendly nation's visa by starting any business or owning property but limited to 50 nationalities. Another option available to all nationalities is by investing $160,000 in any local business and hiring at least five local employees.
