What fees are involved in residency?

When trying to become a resident in Panama, what fees will a person incur? Is everyone accepted as long as they can pay these fees?

Be careful of places charging for tourist visa that are not airlines (you will be granted the $10 visa on the plane to hand over in Customs) as you will pay a lot more for the same thing.
As always, a little google goes a long way: Fees for Panama visas - Google Search

Those are all great links, Lalaguayaba. And, it's true what you say about being wary of people who offer to sell you visas and such. There are a lot of people who would rip you off.
