Anyone without a full Panamanian passport needs a Multiple Re-Entry Visa (MRV) if they want to travel in and out of Panama. This includes immigrants, permanent residents and visa-holders, as well as those who are in the process of applying for any of these. The MRV allows you to come and go as many times as you like, until the expiration date and/or as long as you are legally allowed to reside in Panama. It takes approximately five (5) business days to process the MRV at the Immigration office.

The Validity of the MRV depends on your status:

• If your residency visa is in process, the MRV will be valid for up to one (1) year, and no longer than the temporary residency visa granted for your application process.
• If your residency application has been approved, the MRV will be valid for up to two (2) years, and no longer than your residency visa.

Required Documents for the Multiple Re-Entry Visa:

• Photocopy of valid passport of the applicant (and dependents – if applicable), including the picture page (that shows the picture, name, date of birth, passport number, place of issue, etc.) and all pages showing entry / exit stamps (ie. all pages used in the passport). The photocopy of passport should be notarized.
• Two (2) passport sized pictures of the applicant.
