    Cuban ordinary passport: Panama stamped visa required

    Panama first placed Cuba in the stamped-visa category in 2015. The subsequent Tourist Card route was removed in 2021, and SNM’s 2024 notice still describes the Cuban stamped-visa process.

    • This is an advance stamped consular visa, not an eVisa, ETA, visa on arrival, online appointment or Tourist Card. The 2024 notice says the online appointment request was disabled while the process was being addressed; it does not announce a nationality exemption.
    • The 2017 amendment modifies Article 2 of the 2015 decree. The 2018 Tourist Card and the 2019 stamped-visa procedure form part of the later history; Executive Decree 88 removed use of the Tourist Card in 2021.
    • The official sources do not provide an accessible consolidated in-force nationality register. The legal chain and the 2024 operational notice support this policy at medium confidence; recheck for later repeal or amendment before promotion.
    • Third-country visa/residence routes, transit, work, residence, diplomatic/service/special documents and individual admission are outside this ordinary-passport baseline.

    Dominican Republic ordinary passport: Panama stamped visa required

    Panama’s 2015 stamped-visa classification remains the direct baseline after the later Dominican Tourist Card was removed by Executive Decree 88 in 2021.

    • This is an advance stamped consular visa baseline, not an eVisa, ETA, visa on arrival, online appointment or Tourist Card.
    • The 2017 amendment modifies Article 2 of the 2015 decree. The 2019 Tourist Card was an intervening document route, and Executive Decree 88 removed its use in 2021.
    • The official sources do not provide an accessible consolidated in-force nationality register or a later Dominican-specific operational notice. This legal sequence supports a medium-confidence correction, with mandatory recheck for later repeal or amendment before promotion.
    • Third-country visa/residence routes, transit, work, residence, diplomatic/service/special documents and individual admission are outside this ordinary-passport baseline.

    Venezuelan ordinary passport: Panama stamped visa required

    Executive Decree 77 of 2022 directly requires Venezuelan nationals entering Panama to request a stamped visa at a Panamanian consular office.

    • This is an advance stamped consular visa requirement, not an eVisa, ETA, visa on arrival or online filing classification.
    • The decree directs application at the Panamanian consular office where the traveller is located, under the stated migration procedures.
    • The official sources do not provide an accessible consolidated in-force nationality register. No later repeal or amendment was identified in the reviewed official sources; recheck remains required before promotion.
    • Third-country visa/residence routes, transit, work, residence, diplomatic/service/special documents and individual admission are outside this ordinary-passport baseline.

    Russian ordinary passports: Panama visa-free short visit

    The current Russian MFA passport-type table records visa-free travel for an ordinary Russian passport to Panama for up to 90 days in 180 days.

    • This does not normalize residence, work, transit, special passports, document requirements, individual admission decisions or Panama's separate entry conditions.
