温馨提示
- This visa-free entry depends on your US visa/residence being valid for the whole stay — if it lapses you fall back to the normal Costa Rica consular-visa route.
- The waiver only accepts a MULTIPLE-ENTRY US visa or US residence — a single-entry US visa does not qualify.
- US C1, C2 and C3 visas are transit visas and are NOT accepted for this waiver.
- Your passport must be machine-readable or biometric (ICAO standard); carry it with your US document.
- Visa-free entry is for tourism, business or professional activities under the Non-Resident category — not paid work in Costa Rica.
- The waiver does not guarantee entry — the immigration officer makes the final decision and sets the exact stay at the border.
