Panama Visa Requirements
British citizens do not need a visa for holidays to Panama for stays of up to three months if arriving by land or air.
Different visa requirements apply to travellers arriving by sea. Those arriving on cruise ships or travelling through the Panama Canal don’t need a visa for stays of up to three months, but travellers arriving on other vessels must get one.
Make sure immigration officials stamp your passport with your date of arrival when entering Panama.
Passport Validity for Panama Travel
Your passport must be valid for the entirety of your stay in Panama and have an ‘expiry date’ at least six months after the date you plan to leave the country. It must also have at least one blank page.
Other Key Entry Information
At Panamanian border control, you may need to provide the address of your accommodation and a contact telephone number, show proof of a return or onward ticket, and that you have at least 1,000 US dollars (or the equivalent in another currency) or a credit card.
