Be sure to leave by your required date of departure. Immigration authorities may levy a fine on foreigners who overstay their visas. Even a short overstay may result in significant delays, deportation, and/or denial of entry to Costa Rica in the future.</p> <p><b>Exit tax:  </b>Check with your airline to see if the $29 USD exit tax was included in the cost of your ticket. For more information, visit the <a href="https://www.migracion.go.cr/SitePages/Inicio.aspx">Costa Rican Immigration Agency website.</a></p> <p><b>Entry and Exit for Minor Children:</b> All children born in Costa Rica acquire Costa Rican citizenship at birth and must have an exit permit issued by <a href="https://www.migracion.go.cr/Paginas/Pasaportes-y-Permisos-de-Salida.aspx">immigration authorities</a> in order to depart the country. Non-Costa Rican minor children who are ordinarily resident in Costa Rica may also be subject to this requirement. This is strictly enforced.</p> <p>Though not required, parents traveling with minor children may consider carrying notarized consent for travel from the non-present parent. Parents of minors with Costa Rican citizenship should consult with <a href="https://www.migracion.go.cr/Paginas/Pasaportes-y-Permisos-de-Salida.aspx">Costa Rican immigration authorities</a> prior to travel to Costa Rica.</p> <p><b>Indebtedness:</b> If you owe money in Costa Rica, authorities may prevent you from leaving. This includes unsettled injury claims from vehicular accidents and unpaid medical bills. U.S. citizens owing child support in Costa Rica may be required to pay 13 months of support in advance before being allowed to leave Costa Rica.</p> <p><b>Documentation Requirements:</b> Carry copies of identification and immigration status at all times.

If confronted by someone with a weapon, it is best not to resist.</p> <p>Do not leave valuables unattended on the beach, in an unattended vehicle, or in an unlocked room. Even a locked vehicle in an area with parking attendants may be broken into.

For examples, see our website on <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/emergencies/arrest-detention/crimes-against-minors.html">crimes against minors abroad</a> and the <a href="http://www.justice.gov/usam/criminal-resource-manual-1617-extraterritorial-criminal-jurisdiction-18-usc-112-878-970-1116">Department of Justice</a> website.</p> <p>The Embassy is aware of isolated reports of uniformed officers or impostors demanding a bribe. Should you be confronted for a bribe, do not argue. Note the name of the officer and any identifying numbers on the uniform or vehicle and report the incident by calling “<b>911</b>.”</p> <p><b>Ayahuasca/Kambo/Hallucinogens: </b>Traditional hallucinogens, often referred to as ayahuasca or kambo, are often marketed to travelers as part of a “ceremony” or “spiritual cleansing.” Such substances typically contain dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a strong hallucinogen that is illegal in the United States and many other countries.</p> <ul> <li>Intoxicated travelers, including United States citizens, have been sexually assaulted, injured, or robbed while under the influence of these substances.</li> <li>Health risks associated with ayahuasca are not well understood, and, on occasion, United States citizens have suffered serious illness or death after taking these drugs.</li> <li>These incidents often occur in remote areas far away from modern medical facilities, increasing the risks.</li> </ul> <p><b>Alcohol/Drugs: </b>Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs could land you immediately in jail. Penalties for possession, use, or trafficking of illegal drugs are severe, including long jail sentences and heavy fines. The possession, purchase, and sale of marijuana and marijuana related products are illegal in Costa Rica</p> <p><b>Prostitution/Sex Tourism: </b>Local law forbids promoting or facilitating the prostitution of another person. Local laws regarding human trafficking and child exploitation carry extremely harsh penalties, including large fines and significant jail time, including for first-time offenders.</p> <p><b>Arrest Notification: </b>If you are arrested or detained, ask police or prison officials to notify the United States Embassy immediately. See our <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/emergencies/arrest-detention.html">webpage</a> for further information.</p> <p>The law permits pre-trial detention of persons accused of serious crimes. Due to overcrowding in local prisons, courts may instead use an “exit impediment.” Individuals subject to these measures cannot depart Costa Rica, must be able to support themselves, and must check in with judicial authorities on a regular basis. Defendants have the right to a public defender and an official translator for important hearings. </p> <p><b>Judicial Process:</b> Due to differences in legal systems and case backlogs, local criminal and civil judicial processes can move slower in comparison to their United States equivalents. Civil suits on average take over five years to resolve. Some United States firms and citizens have satisfactorily resolved their cases through the courts, while others have seen proceedings drawn out over a decade without a final ruling.</p> <p><b>Counterfeit and Pirated Goods:</b> Although counterfeit and pirated goods are prevalent in many countries, they may still be illegal according to local laws. You may also pay fines or have to give them up if you bring them back to the United States.

There have been reports of individuals falling ill or dying after consuming alcohol tainted with methanol. Costa Rica’s Ministry of Health has advised any persons presenting health issues after consuming alcohol, such as severe vomiting, agitation, disorientation, blindness, or any other adverse reactions, to immediately call 911. Ministry of Health authorities are asking people to report any instances of the sale of unregulated alcohol or alcohol adulterated with methanol to the Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) confidential line at 800-8000-645, or by email to denuncias.drpis@misalud.go.cr, or by calling the National Center for Intoxicants at 2223-1028 or 800-INTOXICA (4686-9422). Additionally, if you feel you have been the victim of unregulated alcohol or another serious health violation, you should notify the American Citizen Services unit at the U.S. Embassy in San Jose at +506-2519-2000. You may also contact the U.S. Department of State – Bureau of Consular Affairs in Washington, D.C. at 1-888-407-4747 (toll-free in the United States and Canada) or 1-202-501-4444 (from all other countries) from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday (except U.S. federal holidays).</p> <p><b>Assisted Reproductive Technology and Surrogacy: </b>If you are considering traveling to Costa Rica to have a child through use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) or surrogacy, please see our <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Assisted-Reproductive-Technology-ART-Surrogacy-Abroad.html">ART and Surrogacy Abroad page</a>. </p> <p><b>Water Quality: </b>In many areas, tap water is not potable. Bottled water and beverages are generally safe, although you should be aware that many restaurants and hotels serve tap water unless bottled water is specifically requested. Be aware that ice for drinks may be made using tap water. </p> <p><b>Adventure Travel: </b>Visit the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about <a href="https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/adventure">Adventure Travel</a>. </p> <p><b>General Health Language: </b>The following diseases are prevalent:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/diseases/dengue">Dengue</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/chikungunya/index.html">Chikungunya</a></li> <li>HIV/AIDS: Follow all standard procedures for protection against the spread of HIV/AIDS.</li> <li>Visit the UUnited States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website for more information about <a href="https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/traveler-information-center">Resources for Travelers</a> regarding specific issues in Costa Rica</li> </ul> <p><b>Air Quality: </b>The air quality varies considerably and fluctuates with the seasons.

Roads are often in poor condition, lack clearly marked lanes, and have narrow shoulders and large potholes. Signage can be inadequate. Visibility at intersections is often limited by hedges or other obstacles. </p> <ul> <li>In the event of car trouble or a flat tire, look for a well-lit, populated area such as a gas station to pull over. Be wary of unsolicited offers of assistance from strangers, particularly in less populated areas.</li> <li>Main highways and principal roads in the major cities are paved, but some roads to beaches and other rural locations are not. Many destinations are accessible only with four-wheel drive vehicles with high ground clearance.</li> <li>Exercise extreme caution when driving across moving water, especially through riverbeds and over hanging bridges. Even a few inches of water could destabilize your vehicle.</li> <li>Landslides are common. Some roads, even those leading to major population centers, may be temporarily impassable during the rainy season. When staying outside of urban areas, call ahead to hotels regarding the current status of access roads.</li> <li>Avoid driving at night outside urban areas.  </li> <li>Expect traffic jams in and around San Jose.</li> <li>Motorcyclists often drive without respect to rules of the road, passing on the right, or weaving in and out without warning. Buses and cars frequently stop in travel lanes, even on expressways.</li> </ul> <p><b>Bridges: </b>Bridges, even on heavily traveled roads, may be only a single lane. Rural roads sometimes lack bridges, compelling motorists to ford waterways. Do not drive through water.</p> <p><b>Traffic Laws:</b>  Drivers will need a valid passport and valid United States driver’s license or an international driving permit.</p> <ul> <li>Fines for routine traffic violations can be upwards of $500 USD.</li> <li>Laws and speed limits are often ignored, turn signals are rarely used, passing on dangerous stretches of highway is common, and pedestrians are not given the right of way.</li> <li>In the event of a traffic accident, do not move the vehicle. Both the traffic police and an insurance investigator must make accident reports before the vehicles can be moved. Drivers using rental cars should clarify their company’s policy in the event of accidents. Rental companies may levy additional charges on drivers for failing to file a report.</li> <li>There is a high fatality rate for pedestrians and those riding bicycles or motorcycles. In the event of a traffic fatality, a judge must arrive at the scene to pronounce a person dead, which could take several hours. If there is an ongoing investigation of a vehicular accident resulting in death or injuries, you may not be allowed to leave the country for several months.</li> </ul> <p><b>Public Transportation: </b>United States citizens have reported having items stolen while using public transportation across Costa Rica. United States citizens should take care to maintain awareness of their surroundings and avoid displaying signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive watches or jewelry, and should always keep bags and other personal items under their personal control. United States citizens are strongly discouraged from using public buses, where pickpocketing is common. United States citizens should take only licensed taxis or familiar ride share services and should never accept rides from unlicensed or “pirate” vehicles.</p> <p>See our <a href="https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/before-you-go/driving-and-road-safety.html">Road Safety page</a> for more information. Visit the website of Costa Rica’s <a href="https://www.ict.go.cr/en">national tourist office</a> and national authority responsible for road safety.</p> <p><b>Unpaid traffic tickets:  </b>United States<b> </b>citizens have occasionally reported to the Embassy that charges for unpaid traffic tickets have appeared on the credit card that was on file with their rental car company. The Embassy cannot intervene in such cases.</p> <p><b>Aviation Safety Oversight: </b>The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Costa Rica’s Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Costa Rica’s air carrier operations.
