Entry details
Holders of a Botswana passport do not need a visa when visiting Panama for up to 90 days. The Botswana passport currently ranks #115 of 199 worldwide, with 77 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.
Panama is middling in how freely it admits visitors, admitting 116 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #69 with 125 open destinations. The relationship isn't symmetric: Botswana travellers get easier access here than Panama citizens get in return (e-visa required).
In the opposite direction, Panama citizens travelling to Botswana face: e-visa required.
