Visa Details

Indian passport holders generally require a Panamanian visa. A current valid visa issued by the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore or an EU member state can support a visa-exempt visit of up to 30 days. Executive Decree 196 of 28 October 2024 replaced the former multiple-entry, prior-use and six-month visa-validity conditions with a current-valid-visa requirement. The embassy also specifies at least three months of passport validity, a return ticket and at least USD 500 in funds. For the Schengen selection, confirm the visa was issued by an EU member state; the decree names the EU, not every Schengen issuer.
