Background – Last year (2007) Panama reduced the tourist visa term to 30 days down from 90 days. For USA and Canadian passport holders. This caused a backlash.
Present Term of Tourist Visa is 90 Days for USA and Canada - The law reducing the term of the tourist visa to 30 days is still on the books BUT the immigration authority enforcement division has informed us that the policy since 1/1/08 is to allow the USA and Canadian visitor 90 days. A new immigration law is being drafted. We are expecting more stringent requirements for long-term visas and residencies. The passport stamp that you will receive has no expiration date however you are handed a tourist card, which you purchase for $5.00 that clearly states 90 days for the term of the tourist visa. You should carry this card with your passport while in Panama. Do carry this tourist card and passport with you while visiting in Panama at all times. This new policy is serving to reignite real estate sales since it was about impossible to come here and locate, negotiate and buy a home within 30 days, 90 days seems to be enough time for most. Okay so in final summation USA and Canada tourist visas are back to 90 days. Most EU citizens do get 90 days as well.
