I am planning on moving to Panama and marrying my fiance who's Panamanian. I am French living in the US. How long will it take for me to get either permanent residency after i am married or the Panamanian citizenship?
Thanks for any info!

Could take as much as 4 years. They are so screwed up that they don't know their own laws. I know, I went thru that immigration nightmare. Once you understand that they don't like you from the get go, you will then realize why they screw you around for so long. Then if they change the laws again, you are really screwed!!! Welcome to Panama!!!!
