Does it count if the new immigrant happens to own the panamanian company? In other words, you establish your own business?
I do think, however, that this would certainly qualify one for the 16 May residencia visa. You can very likely find good info on this at sites like sovereignsociety.com and so forth.
If you need the name of a good (and honest!) Panamanian lawyer, I can surely provide one. FReepmail me.
Best, SAJ
