Panama visa for Bhutanese citizens

Bhutanese citizens planning a visit to the vibrant Central American nation of Panama can enjoy visa-free entry, simplifying their travel arrangements significantly. This status permits stays of up to 90 days under the single available tourist visa category, offering ample time to explore the Panama Canal or the historic Casco Viejo. Given the vast geographic distance, travelers should prepare for a journey involving multiple international transfers, often routing through Europe or North America, and be mindful of the significant 10-hour time difference between Thimphu and Panama City. While Panama officially uses the US Dollar, making currency considerations straightforward, it’s advisable to have some small denominations for local vendors.
