Guide last updated October 18, 2026. Always verify with official sources before travel.

What you need

  • Passport valid for at least 6 months beyond the intended stay
  • Completed visa application form
  • One recent passport-size photo, white background
  • Confirmed round-trip flight itinerary
  • Hotel booking or letter of invitation from a host in Panama
  • Bank statements for the last 3 months showing sufficient funds
  • Employment letter or business registration document
  • Criminal record certificate, requested in some cases for longer stays

Visa types

  • Tourist visa: single entry, stamped sticker, permits a stay of up to 90 days
  • Business visa: single or multiple entry, requires an invitation letter from a Panamanian company
  • Transit visa: for travellers passing through Panama en route to a third country, short validity

How to apply

  • Since Panama has no consular representation in Egypt, applications are generally submitted through the nearest Panamanian embassy or consulate (commonly routed via consulates in the Gulf or Europe) or online pre-visa request through Migración Panamá
  • Submit the application form, photo, passport, flight itinerary, hotel booking and bank statements
  • Pay the visa fee at the consulate or via the online pre-visa system
  • Processing typically takes 5-10 business days once the complete file is received, plus courier/mailing time to and from the handling consulate
  • Approval is issued as a visa sticker in the passport or, for the pre-visa system, a reference number to present on arrival

Fees & processing time

  • Visa fee: approx. USD 50
  • Additional courier or mailing costs if applying through a regional consulate rather than in person
  • Total estimated cost: USD 50-80 depending on handling fees
  • Standard processing: 5-10 business days after a complete file is submitted; add extra time for international mailing
  • No official express service is generally advertised for this route

Tips for Egypt travelers

  • Start the process well in advance since Panama's nearest consular services may be outside Egypt
  • Confirm current requirements directly with the consulate handling Egyptian applications, as designated consulates can change
  • Ensure hotel and flight bookings match the dates on the application exactly
  • Common rejection reasons: incomplete bank statements, inconsistent travel dates, or missing invitation letters for business travel
  • Carry printed copies of all approval documents, as online pre-visa confirmations may be checked by immigration on arrival
