Hey,

 

So new here, looking for some help!!

 

My Fiancé and I are headed to Panama in a few days to visit some of his family who live on the Royal Decameron Resort. Now we were considering a Panama wedding, but now I've come across some information regarding blood tests and physicals that need to be performed there, within one week of the wedding!

 

If anyone has been married there, or has some more information I would so greatly appreciate it! 

 

Thanks!

Hi Olivia,

 

The legal requirements to have a civil ceremony in Panama are quite rigirous!! I have listed them below:

 

        Copy of Bride and Groom’s birth certificate (in long form).

·         Copy of Bride and Groom’s passport (all pages)      

·         Certificate of single status

·          Application for a Civil Marriage Form. You will both have to fill this out separately. You will need to fill out the Spanish document, and have it translated

In destination, you will need to provide the following:

·         Medical Certificate - issued by a Panamanian doctor within 15 days prior of wedding; the general medical examination must include the following lab tests: urinalysis, AIDS, blood test, V.D.R.L.

·         Existing passports.

·         Immigration Status / Tourist Card

·          2 witnesses who are fluent in Spanish. Could be 2 people working on site (at the Hotel) and they have to provide a copy of their ID.

 

Another option for you would be to get married at home and have a symbolic ceremony in Panama! This is often the route that destination wedding brides go as it tends to be the easiest :)

 

Happy Planning!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
