"A place where a lot of fish" is exactly what the name of one of the countries has been translated from the language of the disappeared Cueva tribe.

They hit the intact beauty of thin stripes of snow-white beaches, again in almost native aquatic elements for fish and saw how the morning flourishes and goes out the sunset in one of the most beautiful places.

What should be done first with the decision taken to spend a vacation in Panama?

ATTENTION: For Russians in 2019, preliminary registration of entry visa documents in Panama is not required. But the answer to the question: "Do you need a visa to Panama?", Will "Yes!". But the design is so simplified that it will not leave an unpleasant print.

Issuance in Panama visas for Russians is going right on arrival in this country, so Panama can be attributed to countries with visa-free for the Russian Federation, such as

But this border relief is valid only in the following cases:

  1. A visit to the country with a tourist purpose.
  2. Business trip.
  3. Guest visit.
  4. Or transit entry.

The only condition is that staying in Panama should not exceed the threshold of 180 days. The countdown begins from the moment the friendly Panaman customs officer set a press of arrival. If the rest is so fascinated by the beauty of Panama landscapes, which has lost the bill of time, then staying over 180 days is paid separately. $ 50 per month. At the same time, as practice shows, if circumstances falling under the category of force majeure, and a person cannot really explain why he did not comply with the rules, then subsequent visits to this country may prohibit.

PMG, training, long-term work - all these categories require individual permits and appeals to consulate and embassy.

Long-term visa to Panama for Russians requires the following documents:

  1. Stamp passport, the deadline for which will be another 3 months, after a person leaves Panama.
  2. Two photos 3 x 4.
  3. The questionnaire filled in Spanish or English.
  4. A ticket to Panama and a ticket to Panama, confirming that the person is scheduled for the date of departure somewhere at the time of the expiration date of the visa.
  5. Confirmation of the presence of booked housing for all the time of presence. For a guest visit, the written consent of the resident of Panama is suitable, that he is ready to provide guest house.
  6. If the purpose of the trip is training, then a document confirming that the educational institution enrolled the student to the course and is ready to provide him with housing and scholarships. Either the student presents the balance of his account, which is able to cover its costs for all the time of study or until the next session (if he leaves home for the holidays).
  7. If the purpose of the trip is a job, the employer must provide a contract with the employee, indicate the position of the hired employee and the salary size. But still for the first month, the employee must have a positive balance on his account to enter the country. In case the employer takes full support of the employee, it must be confirmed.

Children

When parents take their "flowers of life" on vacation, then it is necessary to take care of the correct placement of documents in advance.

In order for the vacation to remain a real recreation, it is necessary to preform, assemble and, on need, notarily assure the following official papers:

  1. Certificate of birth (it is worth making a copy of the notary).
  2. If there is more than 14 years old, then it should have its own! Only under this condition he will leave the limits of the Russian Federation. Up to 14 years old.
  3. If one parent comes with a child or another third party, then there should be notarized consent from the parent (lei) to the fact that they are willing to let go beyond the country of the Russian Federation.

Important:

  • Documents are required with translation into Spanish.
  • In the case when consent from the second parent fails (deprivation of parental rights, death), then there must be a document confirming this. Again with the translation.
  • The child does not need to make a separate visa to Panama in the embassy. With competent registration of documents, the visa is placed right on the border.

The absence of bureaucratic wires is even more attractive.

But, of course, the minimum set of documents still have to have with you:

  1. An abroad passport with a period of more than 3 months after the traveler left Panama.
  2. Reverse ticket home or another country. Panamans are important to know that a person will still leave.
  3. Two photos 3 x 4.
  4. Written reservation of your hotel or an agreement on renting an apartment.
  5. Medical insurance.
  6. Documents confirming that the bank account balance is at least $ 50 for every day of stay at the time of arrival. It is important to note that it acts for each entering. For example, for a family of 3 people who came to relax on 10 days, the lower balance sheet - 1,500 dollars. Cash presentation is also suitable.

Most of these documents may not be needed, but it is better to be fully armed when you are so far from home than to see the beauty of Panama only because of the airport walls and from the lion of the salon flying to the homeland of the aircraft.

Rules for customs service

  1. The general rule on the import of currency, if the total amount exceeds 10,000 dollars.
  2. Golden rings, chains and earrings will have to declare, well, or then pay the duty for the export. This is at will.
