You will not need a visa for either country but you will have to purchase a Panamanian tourist card for $5 at the border. If you are entering Costa Rica by land from Panama, they will ask you for evidence of a ticket leaving Costa Rica-.

You will not need a Visa. All that is required is your Passport, which you should make a copy of just in case you loose it. Keep a few $5 dollar bills handy. A bill in your passport or in your hand when you shake hands with the police/boarder guards does wonders. Offer only if you are be harrassed.

With a British passport you can get a visa when you arrive in the countries.
