E-Cédulas - Should I Get One, How Much Does It Cost, How Long Do They Last, etc.


Recommended Posts

The point is being missed. What Keith is saying is that the "expensive Jubilado process" is one of several residency visas that serve as a vetting tool. Going straight to an E Cedula would result in no vetting whatsoever of permanent residents. In all the complaining about how difficult and expensive that initial step is, has anyone considered that the alternative would be to welcome criminals and persons of insufficient means to contribute to the country's economy but, rather,  be a drain on its limited resources?

Marie suggests that it would be nice to skip the jubilado visa process, which is expensive, and go straight to the E Cedula. But it is the jubilado visa (and other indefinite residency visas)  that weeds out persons unsuitable for residency. Without this vetting, Panama would stand the risk of being inundated with undesirables.

Appointments, he said, will be at the agreed time, so punctuality is required.

Let's wait and see how this works in a country with a manana culture.

If you only have a pensionado visa you are required to carry your passport with you at all times according to Panamanian law. If you have an E- cedula you do not since it is considered a government issued Identification card. A pensionado visa is not considered an identification card.

E-Cedula is for permenant residency and I.D. card. Permenant Tourist visa is a valid I.D. card for the governments identification and used for jubilado discounts just as the E-Cedula is.
