International flights have resumed to and from Tocumen International Airport.

An electronic affidavit of good health for all travellers entering the country needs to be completed upon arrival. The completed affidavit will generate a QR code, which will be scanned on arrival at Tocumen Airport.

Panama encourages the use of the IATA Travel Pass app. This app will have up-to-date information on travel restrictions, authorised labs for Covid-19 tests and vaccine information. It will have the option to enter personal data, such as vaccination information and tests undertaken. The government will accept the “OK to Travel” certification from this app as a validation for COVID-19 tests on travellers.

Entry restrictions to Panama

All travellers arriving from low-risk or high-risk countries are not required to take a Covid-19 test and quarantine upon arrival if you have done the following:

• registered digitally
• physically present your vaccination card with two doses

If you travel from a country classified as a high epidemiological risk (such as the UK) and you do not have a complete vaccination schedule, you will have to do the following:

• present a negative PCR or antigen test taken 3 days before arrival
• complete 3 days of quarantine at home or at an approved hotel at your own expense

At the end of the quarantine, you must undergo either a PCR or antigen test, with a negative result bringing an end to your quarantine

The restriction does not apply to Panamanian citizens or residents who, if they have a complete vaccination scheme, must present a negative result of a Covid-19 test taken no more than 3 days before arrival in Panama. They must take another Covid-19 test within 3 days of arrival.

Children under 12 years of age are exempt from any type of testing and quarantine if their parents, care givers or guardians comply with the requirements.
