United Arab Emirates to Panama visa requirements

UAE ordinary passport holders can visit Panama visa-free for tourism or short visits for up to 90 days. No advance visa, eVisa, visa on arrival, or tourist card fee is required under the current official travel-requirements pages. Panama's official tourism travel-requirements page, updated July 2025, says citizens of most countries do not need a visa and can stay for a maximum of 90 days; the Embassy of Panama's visa page lists United Arab Emirates among nationalities that do not require a visa and states the maximum stay is three months. UAE MoFA also lists normal UAE passports as visa-free for Panama and currently advises Emirati travelers to have at least six months of passport validity, even though Panama's own pages state a three-month minimum. The old entry mentioned an optional US$5 tourist card, but the checked current official pages do not list such a paid tourist-card requirement or fee for UAE visa-exempt visitors. The current user-facing fee should therefore be zero. Travelers must carry a passport valid at least 3 months, a return ticket to their country of origin or next destination, minimum economic solvency of US$500, and the address/reason for the trip. Yellow fever vaccination is no longer mandatory as a general entry requirement, but Panama recommends it for certain risk itineraries and reserves the right to request it. Panama is not in the Schengen area, so Schengen 90/180 and ETIAS rules do not apply.
