Panama: Visa Exemption for Nationals of South Korea Reinstated

Nationals of South Korea seeking to enter Panama for tourism or business are no longer required to obtain a visa-on-arrival and can instead enter under visa-exempt status for up to 90 days. Since August 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had required nationals of South Korea seeking to enter Panama for tourism or business to obtain a visa-on-arrival for a maximum permissible stay of up 30 days, which included a payment of USD 60 at the airport. According to immigration authorities, the requirement was temporarily implemented to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.
