Certified bank statement translation in Panama
A certified translation of your bank statements in Panama is signed and sealed by a Certified Public Translator (TPA) registered with MIRE, under Executive Decree 975 of 2017. Statements often cover several months, so they are priced by word: $20 for the first 250 words, then $0.08 per additional word. You usually need them to prove your funds for a residency application, a visa, a new bank account or a loan.
What do you need your bank statements translated for?
Residency by solvency
Processes such as Friendly Nations or the Qualified Investor visa use translated bank statements to prove you have the funds your category requires.
Visa applications
Consulates often ask for your statements from the last 3 to 6 months, translated, as financial support for your visa application.
Banking and credit
Opening an account or applying for credit in Panama calls for the statements from your previous bank, translated into Spanish.
How much does it cost?
Bank statements are priced by word: $20 covers the first 250 words and each additional word adds $0.08, with no rounding up to full pages. Panama's 7% ITBMS tax is added on top. A one-month statement usually runs $30–45; a 400-word statement, for example, comes to $34.24 with tax. A six-month package with full transaction detail usually lands between $80 and $135, depending on length.
How long does it take?
Standard delivery takes up to 3 business days. Express delivers in 1 business day (+50%), and Same-day (+100%) applies only when you pay before 11:00 a.m. and a translator is available. These timelines apply to documents of up to 10 pages (2,500 words); for longer documents we prepare a special volume price and confirm the timeline on WhatsApp. You see the exact timeline in your quote before paying.

Do you need an apostille before or after the translation?
A bank statement is usually filed with its certified translation by a TPA registered with MIRE. Some immigration processes also ask for an apostilled bank certificate or reference letter, as Friendly Nations files (Executive Decree 226 of 2021) normally do. If your statements will be used abroad, an apostille might be required. You arrange that with the issuing authority or your attorney; Lingo does not handle apostilles, but your quote tells you what applies.
