• present a negative PCR or Antigen test taken 72 hours before arrival or have a test carried out at the airport at your own cost
• complete 72 hours 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.

Countries considered to have a high epidemiological risk include the United Kingdom, South Africa, India, and the countries in South America.

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 according to the level of epidemiological risk of the country of origin.

Travel Documents Requirements

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 affidavit form is available on the Panama digital website. 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.
