Panama: Digital Nomad Visa available (Short Stay Visa for Remote Workers) — minimum income ~$3,000/month, valid 9 months to 1.5 years initially, renewable. A dedicated program specifically for remote employees and freelancers working for companies outside Panama.
Panama runs an official, named visa program specifically for remote workers and freelancers employed by or contracting with companies outside the country.
Technically, most tourist visas don't authorize any kind of local work, even remote work for a company back home — enforcement varies widely by country, but a dedicated remote-work visa (where one exists) is the legally clean way to do it.
Digital nomad visa programs, income thresholds, and durations change frequently as countries launch, adjust, or discontinue them — always verify current requirements on the destination's official immigration or foreign ministry website before applying, and note that most programs still require you to be employed by or contracting with a company outside the destination country.
