Does Panama have an electronic visa?

E-visa allows applicants to apply for a visa directly online without having to go to the embassy in China in person. For some countries with e-visa, it can also increase the number of foreigners entering the country to a certain extent. Does Panama have an e-visa?

In 2017, China and Panama established diplomatic relations. A few months later, Panama announced a simplified policy and said that the visa issuance for Chinese citizens would be valid for up to three years. However, it may be that the establishment of diplomatic relations is not long and various policies are not mature, so many policies are only announced but have not been widely implemented.

However, Panama's electronic visa has indeed been opened. The applicant can apply for travel documents without submitting Panama visa materials to the embassy in China. At present, the embassy requires the applicant to prepare relatively more electronic materials and the applicant needs to prepare in advance according to the requirements.

When applying for an electronic visa, applicants also need to prepare relevant electronic materials in advance and upload them to the designated official website according to the requirements of the embassy in China. Although Panama has opened an electronic visa, at present, there are fewer people applying for an electronic visa. Generally, people who need to travel choose a sticker visa or submit it to an agent for application.

Note:

The opening of e-visa in Panama can indeed make it more convenient for applicants to apply for visas. However, because Panama has a relatively short period of time to establish diplomatic relations with China, it is still necessary to be more cautious in visa processing and understand clearly the embassy's policy on applicants in advance to avoid the impact of unclear policies on applicants.
