A while back I asked for some help from anyone who took this exam
for me to know the types of questions I can expect. I finally, after
about 15 memo exchanges, rec'd one from Penny (who said she took this exam - twice). Penny, at last, answered me explaining the types
of questions to expect are matching columns, fill in the blanks, etc.
Now, I just took and passed (98%) the exam, so to help anyone planing to take this exam - types of
questions: True or False, multiple choice, and full written
type answer questions, e.g. (in spanish) "name the reasons for the
union with Colombia after claiming independence from Spain in
1821."
No Penny, you are allowed no one (no translator) with you during the
exam.
To anyone who wants further help to prepare for this exam (after
receiving the 31 page study guide), please feel to contact me.
Good luck to all.

I see that you say that they do not allow a translator however I was told that as English was recently declared "officially" the 2nd language of Panama that they would allow a translator. This is confusing.
What you were told, what you heard ? You are NOT allowed a translator or anyone else with you
during the exam ! Don't be confused - I just took this exam and you are allowed NO-ONE
with you !
Ok. And how long did they tell you it would take to get it signed and completed? I have two friends who have been waiting on the President to sign off on them for a year now and nada.
If you mean my Panamanian passport and naturalization, at least a year according to
my attorney
Congratulations.
and where did you take the test in Panama City or David??
Tribunal electoral in Panama City
Congratulations Joe on passing the Panamanian citizenship exam. I need clarification on an issue that has been asked a few times but I haven't seen a coherent response to it. As a matter of fact, some of the answers have been contradictory.
I know that you have to wait 5 years before you can apply for citizenship. Now, is this 5 years from when one received the permanent resident visa (jubilado or otherwise), or 5 years from receipt of the E cedula?
I have been a permanent resident for 6-1/2 years, and have had my cedula for 3 years.
Thank you,
Bill
5 years from jubilado visa cedula. I have had my E cedula for less than a year and next for me is my
N (Naturalizacion) cedula. You ready to apply.
Thank you, Joe. I'm ready to start studying now.
Joe,
Do you have your Panamanan passport yet?
