General Costa Rica Travel FAQs
Yes, Costa Rica is a very safe place for visitors. The local residents are warm and welcoming to tourists. Like any country, it has its bad element and share of crime. Exercising the same common sense and safety precautions as you would when traveling anywhere in the world, ensures a safe and memorable visit.

Yes. All visitors to Costa Rica must have a valid Passport from their Country of Residence. Your passport must not be scheduled to expire within 90 days of your arrival date here. Your Passport must be in good physical condition with no tears or any type of separation of the photo page or main information page. If your passport is worn, torn, tattered or damaged we strongly suggest you get it replaced with a new one ASAP and before you leave for Costa Rica.
We also suggest that you make a photocopy of your passport prior to arrival. While in Costa Rica, you must carry your original or photocopy of your passport, with a copy the entrance stamp page, on your person at all times. Carrying a copy ensures that your original passport is not lost or stolen while you are here.
