Visa Requirements

US Citizens do not need a visa, if they plan to remain in Panama for less than 180 days.  Travelers must present proof of onward travel.  In addition, there have been instances of immigration officers asking for proof of sufficient funds.  This did not happen to me, but a credit card will suffice as proof.  Your passport must also have three months of validity remaining.
