📍 DID YOU UPDATE YOUR ADDRESS WITH PANAMA IMMIGRATION OFFICE?


If you’ve moved recently, this one’s important 👇


Under Decree Law No. 3 of 2008, all foreign residents in Panama must report any change of address within 30 days to the Servicio Nacional de Migración (SNM).


⚠️ What happens if you don’t?


Fine of B/.100 for late notification 💸


Repeat offences can even lead to cancellation of residency or deportation 🚫


🧾 What you need to update:


Copy of passport & residence card


Proof of new address (lease, utility bill, or property title)


If a lawyer submits for you → notarized power of attorney


💬 Is there an amnesty?

Immigration office announced that this can be done until Dec 31st 2025

✅ Tip: Make sure your registered address matches where you actually live—this is where Migración will send official notices.
