Guide last updated September 12, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry, with at least 2 blank pages
  • Completed visa application form
  • Two recent passport-size photos, color, white background
  • Proof of accommodation in Panama (hotel booking or invitation letter)
  • Round-trip flight reservation
  • Bank statements showing sufficient funds, and an employer letter if employed
  • Travel health insurance covering the stay is recommended
  • Biometrics (fingerprints) may be collected at the embassy or on arrival depending on the processing route

Visa types

  • Tourist visa (stamped), single entry, valid for a stay of up to 90 days
  • Business visa, similar conditions, requires an invitation letter from a Panamanian company
  • Multiple-entry visa, available for frequent travelers at a higher fee with additional supporting documentation

How to apply

  • Submit the application directly to the nearest Panamanian embassy or consulate covering Algeria, routed through a regional mission where there is no resident consulate in Algiers
  • Provide the full document set, including photos, proof of funds and accommodation
  • Pay the visa fee at the embassy counter, typically in cash or by bank transfer depending on the mission's procedures
  • Standard applications are reviewed and returned within the mission's stated processing window

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approximately USD 50 for a single-entry tourist visa
  • No separate courier fee for direct embassy submissions; using a courier or agency to reach a regional mission adds its own service charge
  • Standard processing time: 10-15 business days from a complete application
  • No official express service; urgent cases are handled at the consular officer's discretion for an additional fee where available

Tips for Algeria travelers

  • Apply at least 4-6 weeks ahead, factoring in the time needed to reach the responsible regional embassy
  • Common rejection reasons include insufficient proof of return intent and an unclear purpose of travel
  • Keep financial and employment documents recent and consistent with the stated travel dates
  • A valid, well-used US or Schengen visa can sometimes support the application, though it does not guarantee approval
  • Extensions beyond 90 days are handled by Panama's National Immigration Service and must be requested before the visa expires
