Costa Rica Extends Tourist Visas from 60 to 180 Days

That's great news for tourists and the tourism industry in Costa Rica! With the extension of the tourist visa for citizens from 60 days to 180 days, visitors have more time to explore the beautiful landscapes and experience the Pura Vida lifestyle. However, it's crucial to note that the actual duration of stay ultimately depends on the discretion of the Immigration Officer during the entry interview.

It's important for tourists to be aware that while their visas have been extended, foreign driver's licenses remain valid for a maximum of 90 days from the last entry. To avoid any legal complications, tourists should make sure to adhere to this regulation to prevent fines or the removal of their car license plates. This rule is in place to comply with Costa Rican Transit Law.

Overall, this new decree is a positive step in promoting tourism and encouraging visitors to spend more time in Costa Rica.
