Document legalization between Panama and Lebanon
Lebanon does not apply the Apostille Convention with Panama, so documents follow the consular legalization chain: authorities of the issuing country, then the consulate.
Worth knowing
Panama's Lebanese community is large, especially in Colón and the capital, and inheritance, marriage and company procedures between the two countries are frequent.
