How long A US citizen can stay in Panama?

Panama, a Central American country, offers a range of visa options for US citizens who wish to visit, work or live in the country. The visa requirements and maximum length of stay vary based on the purpose of the visit. This article provides an overview of the maximum length of stay for US citizens in Panama and the different visa options available.

Does A US Citizen Need A Tourist Visa?

US citizens can enter Panama without a visa for up to 180 days for tourism purposes. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry. The immigration officer at the airport will stamp the passport with the entry and exit dates. It is important to keep the passport safe as a lost or stolen passport can result in a difficult and expensive process to replace it.

The maximum length of stay for US citizens in Panama is 180 days. It is important to note that this period includes the duration of the visa extension, if applicable. Overstaying the allowed time can result in fines, deportation or being barred from entering the country again. It is recommended to consult with the Panamanian embassy or consulate in the US for more information on visa requirements and the maximum length of stay.

Visa Extension of 180 days

US citizens can extend their stay in Panama for up to 180 days by applying for a visa extension. The application must be submitted at least two weeks before the expiration of the initial 180 days. The extension is granted at the discretion of the immigration authorities and may require additional documentation.

Temporary Residency

US citizens who wish to stay in Panama for longer than 180 days may apply for temporary residency. This option is available for those who have a job offer, own a business, are married to a Panamanian citizen or have a pensionado visa. The temporary residency is valid for two years and can be renewed.

Permanent Residency

US citizens who have lived in Panama for at least five years with a temporary residency may apply for permanent residency. This option requires the applicant to demonstrate financial stability and have a clean criminal record. The permanent residency allows the individual to stay in Panama indefinitely and work without the need for a work permit.

Work Permits

US citizens who wish to work in Panama must apply for a work permit. The application process requires a job offer from a Panamanian employer, and the employer must demonstrate that no Panamanian citizen is qualified to fill the position. The work permit is valid for one year and can be renewed.
