Citizenships and Residences

Studio Panama Italia provides legal citizenship by investment, including Panamanian citizenship. Panama offers a banking citizenship program, or more properly known as a banking passport. A banking passport is issued upon a large deposit. No citizenship or citizen rights are granted, and this banking passport clearly states your true Italian citizenship. It is only used for travel on flights using a second passport and is cancelled once you have recouped your investment.

What are residences?

A true passport is obtained through true naturalization, which requires either true residency in the country for a certain number of years, or it is acquired through one of the citizenship-by-investment programs found in the Residences & Citizenships section. Citizenships and citizenships-by-investment are true naturalizations for those who wish to obtain a second or third homeland, with the associated possibility of obtaining a passport. A second passport, or indeed a third passport.

What are citizenships?

Citizenships are highly complex naturalization processes, involving tedious, lengthy bureaucratic and legal procedures that require time, dedication, and attention to detail and security throughout the entire process. Clients often contact us wanting to purchase a second passport, often referring to a Panamanian or other national passport. We often have clients who literally don't know the difference between residency and citizenship. When we find ourselves in such a dire situation with a client who is unfamiliar with and unaware of this sensitive matter, no choice but to ensure we educate our clients with specific advice, as otherwise they would easily become prey to online fraud, fake YouTube lawyers selling residencies without proper procedures, or fake and unscrupulous agencies selling fake passports without the client knowing or perceiving the danger. The citizenship process, in almost all cases, involves obtaining legal residency years in advance in the country where the client wishes to one day obtain a second citizenship and then proceeding with naturalization. There are also investment citizenships, meaning you can directly purchase a passport in countries that require a direct financial investment in that country's industrial or real estate sectors.
