Panama » City Info » Visa Requirements

Travelling to any foreign country is possible if you have a valid document for entry into a specific country, also termed a visa.

Panama City, the capital city of the Republic of Panama, is guided under the provision of the country. Therefore, all visa requirements are legally carried out by the immigration authorities.

Depending on the country you belong to, you may either have to obtain a visa or not. Citizens of countries who have signed legal treaties with Panama don't require a visa for up to 90 days. However, the citizens of these countries need to carry a visa if they want to stay in Panama for more than 90 days. For a further 30, 60 or 90 days "extension of stay", they would have to apply to the immigration department. But an extension should be applied at least a week before your staying time ends.

All travellers, who want to visit Panama, will have to carry a return ticket. However, the visa requirements for entering the country will depend on your nationality, whether you belong to those countries that have signed treaties with Panama or not.
