State Dept Travel Advisory Updated for Panama



As if you needed another good reason to consider moving to Panama to enjoy the great weather, lush vegetation and low cost of living (at least here in the Chiriqui province)...Panama is one of the safest destinations for travel according to the most recent update to the State Department information website.

The US State Department updated their travel advisory program, and Panama is listed as one of the countries with the least amount of worry for travelers abroad.

The site also contains links to other helpful resources such as maps showing how safe different regions of the world are, a travelers checklist to assist in planning before you go and how to enroll in the step program offered to travelers to help ensure their safety while traveling abroad.

The new levels of travel advisories are:

  • Level 1 - Exercise Normal Precautions: This is the lowest advisory level for safety and security risk. There is some risk in any international travel. Conditions in other countries may differ from those in the United States and may change at any time.
  • Level 2 - Exercise Increased Caution: Be aware of heightened risks to safety and security. The Department of State provides additional advice for travelers in these areas in the Travel Advisory. Conditions in any country may change at any time.
  • Level 3 - Reconsider Travel: Avoid travel due to serious risks to safety and security. The Department of State provides additional advice for travelers in these areas in the Travel Advisory. Conditions in any country may change at any time.
  • Level 4 - Do Not Travel: This is the highest advisory level due to greater likelihood of life-threatening risks. During an emergency, the U.S. government may have very limited ability to provide assistance. The Department of State advises that U.S. citizens not travel to the country or leave as soon as it is safe to do so. The Department of State provides additional advice for travelers in these areas in the Travel Advisory. Conditions in any country may change at any time.
