Citizens of the United States, Canada, and most western European nations must have a valid passport (good for at least six months) plus a tourist card to enter Panama. Tourist cards allow stays of 30 days, cost US$6.00, and can be purchased upon entering the country. Tourist cards may be extended for another 30 days at the Departamento de Immigracion y Naturalizacion in Panama City (Tel: 225-8925/1448/1175).
Citizens of Austria, Britain, Chile, Costa Rica, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, and Uruguay currently require only a valid passport. These tourists donīt need a visa if they are not going to stay more than 90 days. You can apply for an elongation of your visa in Panama City, or you leave the country for three days (e.g. to Cost Rica) and immigrate again, so you get again the permission to stay for 90 days. Visitors from Asia, Africa, Cuba, and several eastern European countries may also have to show a Panamanian visa (US$20) purchased from a Panamanian embassy or consulate abroad.
