It may have taken a long while, but the Central American gem of Panama has finally lifted all of its Covid travel restrictions, which kept thousands of travelers from visiting during the pandemic. Essentially, they have returned their pre-2020 entry guidelines, allowing for the resumption of normal tourism. As of this week, everyone is welcome, vaccinated or not.

 

PRIOR TO TRAVELING:

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

  • No entry restrictions.
  • Travelers do not have to present negative test results.

DURING YOUR VISIT

It is not necessary to wear masks outdoors or indoors. The use of a mask is only mandatory in:

  • ​Public transport
  • People working or handling food
  • Public or private health facilities

We encourage all travelers to respect the social distance of 2 meters.

Business meetings are admitted with 100% capacity, if all participants have their vaccination card complete.

FOR YOUR SAFE RETURN

  • We encourage all travelers to check travel restrictions of your destination country and airport.
  • COVID-19 testing is available for Departing Passengers from Tocumen International Airport.
  • The center is open from 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
