Legal Fees & Costs: Visa for Married to a Panamanian

Registration of Marriage

NOTICE: As of July 1, 2010 our sales tax (ITBMS) has increased to 7% and applies to all services offered by law firms, and will be charged accordingly to clients.

The applicants may register their marriage directly at the Civil Registry, or they may ask us to do this on their behalf. In the latter case, we will charge for this service separately from the immigration application.

Year One - Immigrant Visa

Principal Person:

$250.00	Tesoro Nacional application fee
$350.00	Approximate out of pocket expense (medical certificate, notary fees & costs, temporary card (3 months), temporary multiple entry/exit permit (3 months), stamp duty, authentication fees, etc.)*
$1,000.00	Legal Fees
$50.00	Immigrant Card
$1,650.00	Approximate Total

	Clients will be requested to provide Gray & Co. with an $650.00 prepayment before submitting the immigration application.

Please note that the out-of-pocket expenses are based on the assumption that the client will obtain all authenticated documents in their country of origin, and that we will not be required to send courier packages or documents to the Panamanian Consulate of that country. If we are required to send documents back to that country of origin, please note that the following additional charges will be incurred:

$120.00	Courier package to the Panamanian Consulate. Courier package from the Consulate back to Panama.
$30-$100.00	Depending on the consulate, the prices for authentication vary. The authentication may be anywhere from $30.00 per document up to $100.00 per document. Where possible, we would try to use Apostille, if it is less expensive.
$10-$50.00	Certificate of Good Standing or other documents.

Year Three - Application for Permanent Residency Status

Principal Person:

$250.00	Approximate out of pocket expense (medical certificate, notary fees & costs, temporary card (3 months), temporary multiple entry/exit permit (3 months), stamp duty, authentication fees, etc.)*
$800.00	Legal Fees
$100.00	Permanent Residency Card
$250.00	Application for Cédula to Registro Civil
$1,400.00	Approximate Total

Naturalisation Process:

Since this is about six years away, we are not prepared to provide an estimate of the fees and costs at this point in time.

Payments can be made via Visa or Mastercard. Please see our Credit Card Authorisation Form.
