Since Nov. 1 – 2020, Costa Rica has allowed all countries in the world to enter by air. 

Costa Rica does not require a covid test to enter the country. Tourists visiting Costa Rica are asked to abide by the sanitary protocols implemented for carrying out all tourist activities in the country.

Purchase Health Insurance

It is mandatory that tourists purchase travel insurance, covering their accommodations in case of quarantine and/or medical expenses due to COVID-19 illness. The travel insurance coverage, addressing Costa Rica’s requirements, must be uploaded or entered into the digital HEALTH PASS form in order to be reviewed and approved by the Costa Rican authorities. If more information on international insurance is needed, the Costa Rican authorities will contact the passenger at the email address indicated in the HEALTH PASS.

Complete the digital form called HEALTH PASS which is available at https://salud.go.cr

This pass will be available to complete 48 hours before boarding.  An individual form must be completed for every person, including minors.  A tip from previous travellers is to take a picture of the QR code with your phone just in case it doesn’t send then you have a back-up which has also been accepted.
