Application for Visa Extension for Passengers or Crew in Transit.

As a law firm, LEGAL@work can assist clients in the process of requesting an extension of visa for passengers or crew members in transit. According to Article 26 of the National Migration Service, in cases of force majeure or fortuitous events, an extension of stay for seventy-two (72) hour scan be granted, in which case a transit passenger card will be issued. The card will be requested by the international transportation company, at their own cost of five balboas (B/.5.00), and must demonstrate that a case of force majeure or fortuitous event has occurred and guarantee the passenger or crewmember's departure.

The steps required to apply for an extension of visa for passengers or crew members in transit are:

1.     Submit a request for an extension of stay to the National Migration Service

2.     Provide proof of force majeure or fortuitous event

3.     Have the international transportation company submit a request for a transit passenger card

4.     Pay a cost of five balboas(B/.5.00) for the transit passenger card

5.     Provide a guarantee of departure.
