What the Pensionado visa gives you
An indefinite permit with no minimum age and no extension needed, the option for couples to combine pensions, and access to the retiree discount program set by Law 6 of 1987, as amended.
Retiree discounts (Law 6 of 1987)
Panama’s retiree law sets discounts in several areas of daily life. The exact percentages have been amended over time and a reform is under debate, so we send you the current table rather than repeat outdated figures.
- Entertainment: movies, theater, sports and shows
- Public transport and domestic flights
- Hotels
- Restaurants
- Medicines and medical services
- Utilities and other services
Ask us for the current discount table: we verify it against the law in force before sending it.
