Common Concerns
Questions Panamanian founders ask
We've helped hundreds of Panamanian entrepreneurs form US companies. Here are the most common concerns.
Do I need an SSN or US visa?
No. Panamanian citizens can form a US LLC with their cedula and Panamanian passport. No SSN, no visa, and no US travel required.
How does DGI reporting work?
Panama uses a territorial tax system, meaning only Panama-sourced income is taxed locally. Income from your US LLC may not be subject to Panamanian tax. Consult a local tax advisor for your specific situation.
Does using USD help me?
Yes. Panama uses the US dollar alongside the Balboa (pegged 1:1 to USD). Your US LLC revenue stays in USD with minimal conversion friction between US and Panamanian accounts.
Can I use Stripe and US payment processors?
Yes. A US LLC with a US bank account gives you full access to US Stripe, PayPal, and other payment processors. Accept payments globally at standard US rates.
What about the territorial tax system?
Panama only taxes income sourced within Panama. US-sourced income through your US LLC may be exempt from Panamanian tax. Consult a local tax professional for your specific circumstances.

FAQ
US Company & LLC Questions from Panama
Everything Panamanian founders need to know about forming a US LLC or US company
No. Everything is done online from Panama. You never need to visit the US. We handle all state filings, EIN applications, and bank account setup remotely.
No. Panama and the US do not have a comprehensive double taxation treaty. However, Panama operates a territorial tax system, and a single-member LLC is tax-transparent in the US.
Panama only taxes income sourced within Panama. If your US LLC earns income from US or international sources, it may not be subject to Panamanian tax. Consult a local tax advisor for your situation.
Wyoming is the most popular choice. It has zero state income tax, low annual fees ($60), strong privacy protections, and a simple compliance structure.
Yes. US Stripe is fully available to US LLCs. You can accept credit card payments in 135+ currencies with funds deposited to your US bank account in USD.

LLC formation takes 3-7 business days. EIN application takes 2-4 weeks for non-US residents. Bank account setup adds 1-2 weeks. Most Panamanian founders are operational within 6 weeks.
An LLC (Limited Liability Company) is the most popular type of US company for non-residents. It combines personal liability protection with tax flexibility. Unlike a corporation, an LLC offers pass-through taxation, meaning the business itself is not taxed separately.
Yes. This is one of the biggest advantages of forming a US company. Stripe is limited in Panama, so a US LLC with a US bank account gives you a full US Stripe account with lower fees, more features, and the ability to accept USD payments globally.
Yes. You do not need a Social Security Number to open a US business bank account. Your EIN, LLC formation documents, and passport are sufficient. We help you through the entire process.
