Does it matter how long the relationship is between the main applicant and the dependent partner? What additional documents would be needed compared to a married couple?
Answers
It depends; if they got their residencies separately, they could, for sure.
Unmarried couples must apply separately, they cannot apply under one single application, regardless of the length of the union. Being two separate residency applications, these would be handled completely separately.
The marriage certificate is mandatory for foreign investors who want to bring their partners to Panama, no matter how long the relationship.
Only married couples can file joint residency applications in Panama. Non-married couples will have to do separate residency applications, each complying with the eligibility requirement for the applied residency category.
