Panama eSIM

Not with a British passport arriving by air or land: up to three months. The UK government says your passport needs six months' validity beyond the day you leave and a blank page, and border officers can ask for a return or onward ticket and proof you have at least US$1,000 or a credit card. Make sure they stamp the entry date into your passport.

Most travellers don't: WhatsApp keeps working on your existing account. Each plan's details say whether it includes a local number.

In the cities and on the main routes, yes; the UK government warns that coverage is unreliable in remote areas or on hiking trails, so download maps before the San Blas islands or the highlands.

Movistar, Tigo. Which one you connect to depends on local signal.

Yes. Operators here are listed with 4G; each plan's networks show which.

It depends on the plan: some keep a usable speed of 1 Mbps / 5 Mbps; others drop to 128 Kbps / 384 Kbps / 512 Kbps, which is enough for messaging; others stop data.

It starts when the eSIM first connects to a network. You can install it before you go.

Every plan here states personal hotspot support, so you can share data with a laptop or travel companions. It comes out of this eSIM’s allowance.

No. Each QR code installs once. If you delete the eSIM or reset the phone, it can't be installed again, and once it has connected to a network it can't be refunded.

Some plans add data, some add days, and some can't be topped up; each plan says which. Top up from the eSIM in My eSIMs. There's nothing new to install.

Yes. The listed price is the final price.
