New Visa Regulation for Cubans to enter Panama, has been implemented following by the Decree signed by the Panamanian president Juan Carlos Varela.
The new method establishes the granting of up-to-three-year entry and exist visas at the decision of the Panamanian consul in Havana.
The Decree foresees the accreditation of two officials representing the National Security Council (CSN) and National Migration Service, who will analyse the applications.
According to the previous procedure the National Security Council had to review and approve visa applications case by case, which lasted several months.
