Graduates in Panama can explore post-study work opportunities through the Friendly Nations Visa, which allows nationals from 50+ countries to reside and work in Panama. Applicants must secure a job or start a business, along with demonstrating economic ties to Panama.
Alternatively, the Professional Employment Visa is available for graduates with a job offer in their field. This requires employer sponsorship and proof of qualifications. Both visas typically grant temporary residency, which can lead to permanent status. Processing times and requirements vary, so consulting Panama’s immigration authority for updated guidelines is advisable.
