    Sierra Leonean ordinary passports: Panama authorized visitor visa

    Panama's live Embassy schedule lists Sierra Leone in the authorized-visa cohort, requiring advance consular approval unless a separate waiver applies.

    • Applies to an ordinary Sierra Leonean passport holder travelling as a short visitor who does not qualify for Panama's separate third-country visa or residence waiver.
    • Apply in person at the competent Panamanian consulate before travel; the Embassy says approval may take up to 60 business days.
    • Work, residence, transit, special documents, consular-jurisdiction requirements and final admission remain outside scope.
