International travelers from all countries are welcome to visit Panama, however, non-vaccinated travelers or travelers with less than 2 (two) doses will have to present a negative COVID-19 test for entry.
Entry Requirements For Visitors
Travelers will not have to present a negative COVID-19 test for entry as long as they can provide physical or digital proof of at least 2 (two) doses or complete vaccination scheme endorsed by the WHO, EMA and FDA, that was taken more than 14 days after the last dose.
Non-vaccinated or partially vaccinated travelers will be required to present a negative COVID-19 PCR or antigen test taken no more than 72 hours prior to their arrival time in Panama. If a test is not possible within that time frame prior to their travel, then a mandatory COVID-19 rapid test will be taken at the airport and the traveler will have to cover the costs of said test (USD $50). The cost of the outcome of the test will be borne by the traveler including a mandatory quarantine when tested positive.
Children below the age of 5 are exempted from performing any type of test if their parents or guardian comply with the complete vaccination scheme or have a negative test (antigen or PCR). Those over 5 years of age (national, resident or foreigner) who enter by air, land or sea must have the complete vaccination scheme or at least two doses of the vaccine against COVID-19. Children over 5 years of age who do not comply with the complete vaccination scheme must present a negative test (antigen or PCR) no later than 72 hours prior to travel.
ALL travelers are required to present their completed Electronic Health Affidavit (in physical or digital form) to their airline or carrier BEFORE boarding to Panama. Register and fill out your Health Affidavit.
The Health Affidavit can be found on the official website of the Panama Government.
