Visa

US citizens don't need a VISA to enter Costa Rica. If you are not a US citizen but possess a tourist visa, a visa for a crew, or a business visa (multiple entries) issued by the United States of America or Canada, you can still enter Costa Rica.

Passport

You need a valid passport and a return ticket (to any country). Your US passport must be valid for minimum one day, from the day you enter Costa Rica.Keep copies of your passport with you at all times. Take multiple copies and leave one with different members of your group. That way, you'll still have your ID even if your bag goes missing.

Money

VISA cards are accepted by most rentals and hotels in Costa Rica. It's ideal if you notify your credit card company about your travel. US dollars are widely accepted here. Spending in dollars would be the most convenient option though not the cheapest. Check the exchange rates before your start on your journey. The Costa Rican colón is less stable compared to the dollar, so the rates may vary. It is a good practice to carry small bills for tipping and other minor expenses.

Vaccinations

No vaccines are required for US citizens. But if you are traveling to Costa Rica from South America or Sub-Saharan Africa, you need to take the shot for yellow fever 10 days prior to your entry.
