05/10/2019In the Official Gazette 27593 of August 5, 2014, Resolution No. 23373 of July 30, 2014 was published, by which the National Immigration Service of Panama begins the program called “Fast Pass Migration”, whose purpose is to speed up the entry of all Panamanians upon their return to the country. The only formal requirement to belong to the program is to be of Panamanian nationality, with no age requirement, and it will be enough to enter the portal www.migracionfastpass.gob.pa to provide your general information and thus be registered in the program. Those Panamanians who enter the “Migracion Fast Pass” will have the benefit it grants for a renewable period of five (5) years. Panamanians who belong to the program will be able to use, upon their return to the country, automated terminals that will be located at the Tocumen International Airport and other airports within the national territory. In these terminals, the traveler will be able to carry out their entire immigration process.
