## Evidence timeline

- **Current official route — Sri Lankan ordinary passports: Panama authorized visitor visa** (Visa required)
  Panama's current embassy visa schedule lists Sri Lanka in the authorized-visa cohort when the holder does not qualify for the separate third-country-document waiver.
  - This is the ordinary Sri Lankan-passport baseline without a qualifying third-country visa or residence document. That separate document-conditioned waiver is not normalized as the baseline.
  - The authorized visa must be granted before travel; the current source warns that approval may take up to 60 business days.
  - The cited embassy's personal-appearance and U.S.-ID filing directions may be mission-specific. Use the competent Panamanian mission for an actual application.
