A Panama Tax Residency Certificate (CRF) is an official document issued by the Panama Tax Authority (DGI) confirming that an individual or company is considered a tax resident of Panama for a specific tax year.
📋 Main Requirements
For individuals, the DGI may require:
- 📝 Application addressed to the DGI.
- 🛂 Certified copy of the passport.
- 🏠 Proof of residence in Panama.
- ✈️ Immigration movement certificate.
- 💡 Utility bills or other evidence of ties to Panama.
- 📄 Additional documents supporting tax residence.
For companies, the DGI may request corporate registration documents, proof of activities, personnel, and evidence that management decisions are made from Panama.
⏳ Application Process
Applications are submitted through e-Tax 2.0. The process may take approximately three months, so applicants should plan ahead.
The DGI reviews the documentation and determines whether the requirements for tax residence have been met.
