Entering Costa Rica is usually very straightforward and easy. Here is what you need to know:

  • You always have to show a return ticket. If you travel for longer and did not book a return flight, we highly recommend using the service of Best Onward Ticket

  • Also, they want to know where you are staying, so it's recommended to at least have your first night booked somewhere when you arrive.

  • Your Tourist Visa will be valid for 90 days. If you want to stay longer, we recommend doing a border run in either Nicaragua or Panama.

  • No health pass or proof of anything is needed to enter.
