Cuba visa for Panamanian citizens

Flying from Panama versus holding a Panamanian passport

This guide applies to the nationality of the passport used for travel. A Panamanian resident with a foreign passport should use the eligibility checker for that passport, rather than selecting Panama because it is their place of residence.

If completing forms for a group meeting at the same airport, check every traveller individually. A shared itinerary does not mean the group shares the same nationality or visa route.

A short stay still needs advance visa preparation

Do not leave the document steps to airport check-in just because the planned stay is short. Confirm whether a booking supplier is providing the visa and, if not, arrange the application with enough time for review.

Prepare the intended arrival and return itinerary for travel, although our current form does not request dates or ticket uploads. Keep the issued code and complete the arrival declaration at the appropriate time for the actual arrival.

Personal details and a different trip purpose

Read the passport number from the document itself and use its surnames and given names in their respective fields. A local identity-card number should not be entered instead of the requested passport number.

This application route is for tourism. If your journey involves work, an extended stay or circumstances requiring another visa category, contact the Cuban authorities about the suitable authorization before purchasing the tourist service.

A Panama departure is not the same as Panamanian nationality

A passenger connecting at a Panamanian airport may hold a Canadian, Colombian or another passport. That passenger should choose the guide for the actual passport nationality, not this page solely because the route passes through Panama. The Cuban application's nationality field describes the traveller's document rather than the airport used to reach Cuba.

For a Panamanian citizen, this guide is appropriate when the Panamanian passport supports the application. If you also hold another nationality, decide which passport is being used before entering the number. Check any connecting-country permissions independently; they are not included in the Cuban service price.

Example: one organiser prepares a Panamanian group trip

An organiser can help several travellers read the English form, but should work from each passport separately. Keep a passenger list with distinct application references, and verify that each email confirmation belongs to the right person. A group booking or a single shared inbox does not create a combined visa for everyone travelling.

Before sending any requests, ask the carrier or tour organiser whether a visa has already been arranged for some passengers. Resolve missing records individually. The US$59 displayed here is per traveller for our independent service; it should not be multiplied across the entire party until the organiser knows which passengers actually need that service.

What to prepare for the online application

Use the Panamanian passport intended for this journey. The current form asks for the following details:

• Passport nationality and passport number.
• Surnames and given names as printed in the passport.
• Date of birth and sex.
• Email address, entered twice to confirm it.
• Phone number, if you choose to provide one.

No passport scan or portrait upload is requested in the current service form. Insurance, return or onward travel and the arrival declaration are separate travel preparations; they are not upload fields in this application.

Cuba eVisa cost and application steps

Our online application service costs US$59 per traveller. This is our independent service price, not a quoted government consular fee. Read the service terms and refund policy before paying. You can also consult the official government application directly.

1. Enter your passport details. The application opens with Panama selected. Review names, passport number, birth date and email.
2. Review the application and service price. Confirm the information and displayed total before continuing to the payment stage.
3. Monitor the application. Keep your reference and use the application status page for an existing request. Allow time before departure; no approval deadline is guaranteed.
4. Prepare the separate arrival declaration. After receiving the issued visa code, follow the official D’Viajeros portal instructions and save the arrival QR.

The tourist route is generally for one entry and an initial stay of up to 90 days, subject to the issued visa and current Cuban rules. Work, study and special passport circumstances need their own advice. Cuban authorities decide approval and admission.

Travelling with another passport?

Choose the guide for the passport used in the application, rather than your airport or country of residence.
