    Panama: Zambian ordinary passports

    Panama's live Embassy schedule expressly includes Zambia in its authorized-visa cohort, requiring consular filing and approval before travel unless a separate third-country-document waiver applies.

    • Applies to an ordinary Zambian passport holder travelling as a short visitor who does not qualify for Panama's separate third-country visa or residence waiver.
    • The Embassy says authorized-visa applicants must appear in person at the consulate; approval may take up to 60 business days.
    • Work, residence, transit, diplomatic, official, service, special-document, invitation and final-admission treatment are outside this classification.
