Panama's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Issues Requirements for Travel to Toronto

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Panama issued a series of requirements and recommendations for fans planning to travel to enjoy the two matches that the National Football Team will play in the city of Toronto, as part of the FIFA Men's World Cup USA–Mexico–Canada 2026.

Among the immigration requirements to travel to Canada are to have a valid passport and, as the case may be, an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) or a visitor's visa.

The eTA applies only to those traveling by air and is only valid for those with a valid U.S. visa or who have had a Canadian visa in the last 10 years.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs highlights that for those who do not meet the eTA requirements, they must apply for a visitor's visa, so they recommend starting the process with time.

In addition, it is recommended to have proof of sufficient funds and a travel itinerary and travel insurance, highly recommended for international visitors.

Panama was placed in Group L of the tournament and will have two matches against the teams of Croatia and Ghana at BMO Field stadium in Toronto.
