Czechia→Panama
Czechia to Panama
Can children travel on this route?
Travellers under 18 must carry a notarised letter of parental consent and a copy of a parent's passport.
What should I do before I travel?
Check your Czech passport before you travel to ensure it is valid for at least 6 months beyond your intended date of entry to Panama.
Arrange and carry evidence of your onward or return travel and your hotel booking, because Panamanian border officers may ask to see them. Carry proof of sufficient funds for your stay as you may be asked to show this at immigration.
Consider buying travel insurance for your trip; travel insurance is recommended but not a condition of entry.
Note that Panama keeps no embassy in Czechia; the nearest Panamanian embassy is in Colombia.
What happens at the border?
On arrival at a Panamanian border control you may be asked to present your passport and to show proof of a return flight, proof of hotel booking and evidence of sufficient funds for your stay.
