For Lebanese citizens planning a visit to Panama, a visa is indeed a mandatory requirement, allowing for a maximum stay of 30 days and costing approximately $50 for applications submitted well in advance. Understanding the specific visa type you need, whether tourist or student, is crucial as this will dictate the application process and documentation. While direct flights are uncommon, most journeys from Beirut to Panama City involve at least one stop, often in Europe, so factor in longer travel times and consider exchanging currency to the Panamanian Balboa, which is pegged to the US dollar. Given Panama's tropical climate, the dry season from December to April is particularly popular for tourism, but also the busiest, so planning your trip outside of these months might offer a more relaxed experience.
