Is there a Costa Rica immigration form?

Travelers still search for a Costa Rica Health Pass or digital arrival card. Official Visit Costa Rica guidance currently treats visitor entry as an immigration process, not a branded online tourist form that everyone files before flying.

The Health Pass used during COVID-19 restrictions is not presented as a current tourist arrival product on official Visit Costa Rica entry pages.

What officials currently describe

Visit Costa Rica currently describes a valid machine-readable passport or travel document, a visa if required under Costa Rica's nationality groups, proof of economic means, and a return or onward ticket.

Permitted stay is set by the immigration officer at entry. Do not copy a generic “90 days for everyone” rule onto Costa Rica without checking official guidance for your passport.

Vaccination and customs

Yellow-fever vaccination rules depend on where you have been and current health regulations. Confirm those on official Costa Rica guidance rather than an outdated blog list.

Carrying cash or securities at or above the amount described in Costa Rican law requires a customs declaration at the port of entry. That is not an online tourist arrival card.

Official resources

Use Visit Costa Rica's official entry-requirements page. Visa and document rules can change; confirm before you travel.

Costa Rica FAQs

Is there a Costa Rica digital arrival form?
There is currently no branded digital tourist arrival card treated as a universal product on this page. Visitor entry is handled at immigration.
Do I still need the Costa Rica Health Pass?
Official Visit Costa Rica entry information does not present the former Health Pass as a current tourist arrival product.
Do I need a visa for Costa Rica?
It depends on nationality. Check official Costa Rica visa groups rather than assuming the last Caribbean trip matches this one.
How long can I stay?
Official guidance says the immigration officer determines permitted stay at entry. That is not a guarantee of a fixed holiday length.
