About Lorena Milanes
Expertise
I can answer questions regarding Panama, its people, culture, places to visit, places to watch out for, hotels to stay, how much your taxi fare should be... specific information on getting around on a safe manner.

Experience
I was born and raised in Panama, educated in American schools. Since I enjoy all related to Panama history, I try to keep myself updated on local happenings in the subject. I also enjoy traveling and the internet seems a wonderful tool to use, specially when you are your own guide (which I usually am)- so I am just willing to give some of the help I have received back.

Panama - travel visa


Expert: Lorena Milanes - 12/2/2007

Question
I have a Panamanian friend that wants to visit me in Canada. What is required( travel documents visa passport) how difficult is this request from the government?

Answer
Hi Mike,
Yes, in order for a Panamenian citizen to visit Canada they need a visa.
The visa is given by a Canadian authority, not Panama government.
There is no Canadian office in Panama that does the paperwork, it has to be done through the Canadian Embassy in Guatemala.
It is very difficult to obtain and takes quite a while, not to mention that it is a bit expensive.
Below is information from the Canadian office in Guatemala:
The Canadian Embassy
Immigration Section
P.O. Box 400

Good luck,
Lorena
