However, since we care about your safety and security, we provide you reliable and credible information in our Travel Advice to help you to make well-informed decisions when you travel to the Central American country.

Risk Level

Panama – Take normal security precautions.

Due to the high level of crime, exercise a high degree of caution when traveling to Colón and some other parts of Panama City.
Due to the extremely high level of violent crime avoid all travel to the areas beyond the town of Yaviza in Darien Province to the Colombian border.

Travel Health Notice – Zika virus

The Public Health Agency of Canada advises travelers to practice special health precautions in Panama due to the Zika virus. Pregnant and would-be pregnant women should avoid traveling to Panama.

Entry / Exit requirements

Just like every other country, Panama decides who enters or exits its borders. The Canadian government will not intervene on your behalf if you do not meet the country’s entry or exit requirements.

The information on this page was obtained from Panamanian authorities; however, it can change at any time. Moreover, you can verify the information with foreign diplomatic missions and consulates in Canada.

Panama Travel Insurance News

Karen and Eric Miles started looking for a place to retire in 2012 at the end of one of the cold winters in Ottawa. They ruled out the United States and when they considered warmer locations in Canada, they were out of budget. Mr. Miles worked for 30 years as a non-commissioned officer in the military before he retired. The couple lived on Mr. Miles’ government pension accumulated over the years.

After considering several locations, the Miles will be whiling away their days in Panama where the temperature stands around 30 degrees throughout the year and they won’t have to worry about shoveling snow.

The Miles is among the growing number of Canadians who decided to leave the snowy environment, look away from the United States and look for a place with a much warmer temperature. The couple chose Panama due to the chance it offers them to live the good live at a discount.

Serena Hill

Very polite and courteous! Def a thumbs up ☺️

Kathy Jackson

Make it possible to contact a CSR who doesn't transfer me around 7 times before telling me they can't find their own policy issued to a customer - a policy number taken from their own letterhead!! I will tell everyone I know, in every way, to avoid your company at all costs. If I have to, I will contact CBC W5 or Marketplace. Manulife, you have messed with the wrong estate executor!!

Dee Garrett Gauthier

We had an excellent experience with Insurdinary. We strongly recommend them for insurance. Very pleasant to speak with. Fast and easy. We will be telling our family and friends all about it. Give them a call.
