Tourist card for Dominicans to Panama
Dominican citizens can now purchase a tourist card to enter Panama visa-free for 30 days. The card is valid for one entry to Panama and costs US$20. The card can be purchased at the Consulate of Panama in the Dominican Republic.
President Juan Carlos Varela signed the decree on Monday, 24 June 2019, authorizing the new travel card. A requirement is that the person have previously visited Panama or another authorized country. President Varela expects the new facility will increase the number of Dominicans who go on shopping tours to Panama.
In October 2018, the government of Panama had announced a 5-year multiple entry visa for citizens of Cuba, People’s Republic of China, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and India.
According to sources, there is an oversupply of accommodations.
