Entry Requirements

It is your responsibility to ensure that everyone in your group has the appropriate documentation in their possession (such as current and valid passports, visas, and identification cards) before leaving, and that they satisfy all other applicable requirements (such as vaccinations, testing, or health insurance), to gain entry to Costa Rica and re-entry to your home country.

Make sure to review the applicable documentation and other requirements prior to completing the purchase of travel services. Obtaining passports and visas may require lengthy processing times and it is your responsibility to ensure timely receipt of all documents.

To enter Costa Rica, a valid passport, and a pre-paid airline (or bus) ticket exiting the country are mandatory. Additional specific entry requirements depend on your country of citizenship.

Currently, you may enter Costa Rica without a visa if traveling with a United States of America, Canadian, or most European passports. Immigration will then stamp your passport with your approved length of stay (usually 90 days).
