What the Panama visa rules mean for Denmark travellers

Denmark citizens can enter Panama without a visa and stay for up to 90 days. You only need a valid Denmark passport at the border; immigration officers may still ask for a return or onward ticket, proof of accommodation and enough money for your stay. The 90-day limit usually counts calendar days from your arrival, so book your return flight inside that window.

Overstay penalties

5 years

A non-resident must leave the country when the authorized period expires. An irregular migrant who asks for voluntary return pays a fine of 50 balboas for each month or part of a month spent in that condition, receives an entry ban of no less than 2 and no more than 5 years, and must leave within 7 calendar days, except in duly proven cases of force majeure. The National Migration Service deports, and bans from entry, foreigners who stay in the country undocumented or irregularly.
