My wife and I would very much like to retire to Panama in six years under the Pensionado visa.
I would intend to apply with my pension income and my wife would be a co-applicant dependent on my application. I notice the comment in the visa section which states:
All applications require that you bring with you a clean police record from your last place of residence. Note that a record from your local police office is no longer acceptable for U.S. citizens. Your police record must come from the FBI and must be clear of arrests and convictions, or Panama will deny you residence.
My wife has had a clean record for many years but has a very old conviction (1980’s) on her record. We wanted to make sure this would not be reason for denial of our application as this is so long ago.
Any feedback would be very helpful – Thanks!
