TOURIST VISA: Citizens holding valid passports from the following countries are permitted to stay in Costa Rica for 90 days without a visa:

Any Citizen - regardless of their age (*) - need the following documents to enter Costa Rica:

  • · a passport valid for at least ninety (90) days (**)
  • · a pre-paid airline ticket to exit Costa Rica or proof of financial resources ($400.00US - $1,000.00US in cash, traveler checks, and/or ticket (either to return to your home country or to go to another country)

If you are considering staying for more than 90 (ninety days), a valid passport will be required and you must file for a stay extension at the Immigration Department of Costa Rica.

A $20.00 U.S. dollar fine will be charged upon departure from Costa Rica if you overstayed your permitted length in the country.
