I was curious if a citizen of COL needs a Panamanian VISA to enter Panama.

Apparently no but I'm not too sure..one of my friend (girl) has her mom living in Panama and she does travel there quite often; from what she told me they don't need to! Is it true?? I think so

The answer is no. My wife traveled to Panama twice when she lived in Colombia....without a visa. Now, trying taking her with you to other places......now that my wife has a green card, it's a bit easier in some places (like the Bahamas), but I still had to get a Schengen visa for her to go with me to Italy and Austria this sumer.

Supposedly this is all changing. New immigration laws were enacted on the 26th of August and one of them is requiring Colombians to apply for a Visa. They are not enforcing it for the time being as the law makers in Panama like to enact laws and then let the agencies figure out how to enforce them. I don't think it will ever come to fruition but who knows.
