I have seen a couple of posts that said you do not have to pay the tax if you are going for a couple of days on the bus. But have not confirmed that. I wanted to see Panama City during my 9 day CR vacation but does that mean I have to pay departure tax when the bus crosses the border and pay tax again 3 days later when I fly out? Also will there be another tax for exiting Panama? Does anyone have experience with this. Thanks |

The last time I crossed into Panama, a tourist card was required. The cost is $ 5 US and valid for 30 days. Be prepared for delays at the Paso Canoas border crossing. No need to exchange money when visiting Panama... the official currency is the "Balboa" (aka the US Dollar). |

Thanks for the tips guys. Probably will not be taking any chica with me as I don't want any drama that I can't kick out of the room. Just a new location to visit. |
