Spanish passport holders enter Panama visa-free for up to 180 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months from the date of entry. Immigration may ask for a return or onward ticket and proof of funds (USD 500 or equivalent in bank statements or credit cards).

The 180-day allowance is generous. If you need to stay longer, exit to Costa Rica or Colombia and re-enter. There is no formal extension process for tourist stays inside Panama. Overstaying results in a fine of USD 50 per month at the airport on departure.
