Tips for traveling to Panama
Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your date of arrival in Panama. However, some airlines and countries may require six months’ validity, so it’s a good idea to travel with at least six months remaining on your passport whenever possible.
In addition to a valid passport, travelers may be asked to show:
- Proof of onward or return travel.
- Evidence of sufficient funds for their stay.
- Any required visa, if applicable based on nationality.
Panama uses the Panamanian Balboa (PAB) and the U.S. Dollar (USD). The U.S. Dollar is legal tender and is used for virtually all everyday transactions.
There are no required vaccinations for traveling to Panama.
