🇨🇦 Toronto→🇨🇷 San Jose

Stay: Visa-free tourism for up to 180 days, subject to the shorter period that immigration may authorise at entry

Conditions: Canadian ordinary-passport holders do not require a Costa Rican tourist visa and may be granted a stay of up to 180 days. The immigration officer decides the actual authorised period at entry, which is recorded in the entry stamp and may be shorter than the ceiling. The passport must remain valid for the stay, and travellers must show a return or onward ticket and may be asked for proof of sufficient funds. A person intending to remain beyond the authorised tourism period must obtain the appropriate residence status; overstaying can lead to deportation and a re-entry ban.
