Summary
Panama has relatively low immigration levels but attracts skilled professionals and investors through programs like the Friendly Nations Visa, enabling quick pathways to permanent residency and generally good integration. In contrast, the Darien Gap represents a dangerous migration route for those fleeing hardship, with migrants facing severe risks. Recent policy changes and stricter border controls have reduced crossings by 98%. Most migrants are transiting toward the U.S., leaving Panama to balance humanitarian support with resource constraints.
