My package was received by CVT in Miami on 23 JAN 2020 and should have been in Boquete by the 30th of January at the latest ..... but it was not.  I kept inquiring with CVT about my package and they gave lame excuses - afraid to provide the truth.  I finally received the WhatsApp message from "Empresa Deluxe International" on 11 FEB 2020, citing that they had my package in David.  I picked up my package in David.

If your package is "hostage" within the building in Boquete ..... I cannot offer any assistance with that other than to say, contact Empresa Deluxe International at 6317-0346 .... since they took over CVT. 

Their hours are 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.Monday thru Friday ...... 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday

Here is a WhatsApp message I received from them (which I've also translated) ..... you can pick up your CVT packages there....

Their number is 507-6317-0346

Jude: 

Thank you for that information .... VERY helpful.  I just spoke to Dante and they do issue IDPs for Panama.  Much more expensive than the usual $20.00, but at least you can get one. 

In case anyone is interested .... his fee is $100.00 for a one-year IDP and $180.00 for a two-year IDP.

Brian

Somehow, that doesn't surprise me  Thank you Keith .... I appreciate it.

Hello "BD" ..... while I will be traveling, I will be driving my friend's vehicle.  Their insurance asked for my license and IDP (which is customary in Canada).  I possess a Panamanian drivers license, which is why I was asking if I can obtain an IDP at the Registry in David.  I guess that I will go there and find out.

Thanks,

Brian

Hello:

Does anyone know if I can obtain an International Driver's Permit (IDP) at the Registry in David?  My e-Cedula and driver's license were issued here in Panama.

Thank you,

Brian

Thank you for this post ..... this is the first that I've seen that most businesses will be closed on 01 JUL 2019. 

Here's a link where you can find Form DS-82 01-2017. The application itself begins on page 5 of 6.

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/requirements/forms.html

Hello.  For "mailing" address, I was instructed to use my physical address - although we receive no mail here.  I used Mail Boxes Etc. to mail mine out (via DHL) ... they put their return address on the return slip and they notified me once it came back to them.  If you are using The Box Shop, make sure they use their return address and you will be fine.

Hello:

If you are using the electronic version of Form DS-82 01-2017, you should clearly see item #8, "8. Mailing Address: Line 1: Street/RFD#, P.O. Box, or URB" on Page 1. 

Item #18,  18. "Permanent Address: If P.O. Box is listed under Mailing Address or if residence is different from Mailing Address." is found on page 2.

Hope that helps, but let me know if you need help - I just successfully went thru this process a couple of months ago.

On my way to David, I did stop at El Dorado first - they were unable to repair my high-pressure water hose (for a power washer).  However, Ramsa De Chiriqui was great!!  They repaired it while I waited, maybe 10 minutes, brand new fitting - under $10.00 - highly recommended for any type of hose repair you may have!!

Hello:

Has anyone ever sold a cemetery plot here in Boquete?  My friend owns five (5) meters of land in the cemetery and wishes to sell it as he has moved back to Canada.  Before I speak with the personnel at the cemetery, I thought that I would gather any wisdom from the Forum.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello:  I use a service called TextMeUp -----  http://www.textmeup.com  

I signed up for a free U.S. phone number that I can receive text messages on for free and that I can use to make phone calls to the U.S. (as long as I am signed onto a U.S. server via my VPN).  If you do not use a VPN, then this would not work - for free anyway.

You can use your phone, tablet, or computer.  You can have multiple phone numbers. You can check out their website if you're interested.
