Is this for a founder, startup entrepreneur, self-employed person, freelancer, company owner or another business profile?

The permit is for a foreigner entering as researcher, professor, entrepreneur, technician or student, and the document specifically covers the entrepreneur or executive subcategory.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • The document does not define founder, startup entrepreneur, self-employed person, freelancer, or company owner as distinct profiles; it only lists 'empresario' (entrepreneur) and 'ejecutivo' (executive) without further definition.
  • The document does not state whether the applicant must be a founder or owner versus an employee executive.

What must actually exist or be demonstrated: business plan, company, innovation, clients, contracts, economic activity, job creation or other substance?

The applicant must provide a certification from the City of Knowledge Foundation (through its Executive Director) that the company is authorised to operate in the City of Knowledge, and a letter of responsibility from the parent company certifying the executive's activity in the company, that the executive will carry out no other activity in Panama, and the length of stay.
