Hi all,
I apologize if this is an idiotic question, and it may well be! I am in Panama and have been here for 2 months... last year I was told that your entry stamp on the passport (coming as a tourist) was only good for 90 days. I've been operating on this assumption since I arrived again this year, but was recently told that it is actually good for 180 days. I found this in wikitravel.org:
"Citizens of some countries, Australia, Canada, Japan and US citizens included, may enter Panama with a tourist visa that is stamped on arrival (the cost is automatically included in your airfare and is valid for a 180-day stay as of August 2010)."
I'd be elated if it were 6 months, as it will prolong my trip to the border of Costa Rica to renew. Thanks for any valid info or links you can provide!
