Those who choose to visit the country must meet three entry requirements.

The first of these is to have international or national medical insurance that covers medical expenses generated by the COVID-19 disease, minimum medical expenses equivalent to the costs of being admitted to a hospital for the time required, and minimum coverage of 14 days for lodging expenses.

In the case of international insurance, the tourist must request from their insurer a certification issued in English or Spanish, stating at least three conditions:

1. The validity of the effective policy during the visit to Costa Rica.
2. Guarantee that it covers medical expenses in cases of pandemic disease COVID 19 in Costa Rica, for at least $ 50,000 (fifty thousand dollars of the United States of America).
3. That includes a minimum coverage of $ 2,000 for extended lodging expenses due to pandemic disease

In addition to medical insurance, tourists must present a negative COVID-19 test taken a maximum 48 hours before the passenger flies to Costa Rica and complete the digital form called the Health Pass.
