How can I obtain a Panama resident permit with a small investment?

I’m from Nigeria and have $5,000 to make as an investment in Panama. I know my country is not one of Friendly Nations, so I can’t get a visa that way, but are there other options with my investment amount?

There are several residency-by-investment options, starting from a minimal investment of $80,000 on reforested land to $160,000 into your own business and, finally, investing $300,000 in real estate in Panama. These will also qualify you to acquire permanent residency in Panama.

Panama residency-by-investment options start at $80,000 with the reforestation visa. Other residency options without the need of investments are the professional's visa, the worker's visa and the student visa.

Currently, there is not any investment visa for your amount. There are other types of visas, like the working visa that you could get if a Panamanian corporation sponsors you.
