TORONTO — Costa Rica has updated its entry requirements, allowing travellers to more easily visit the destination.

Effective April 1, travellers will no longer be required to complete an online Health Pass for entry. Additionally, unvaccinated travellers will no longer be required to purchase a travel insurance policy, however, obtaining travel insurance that covers medical and lodging expenses in the event of contracting COVID-19 is still recommended.

As of March 1, all business establishments in Costa Rica now require vaccination QR codes upon entry. Commercial establishments that do not require vaccination QR codes can only operate at 50% capacity.

However, beginning April 1, establishments including, but not limited to, sports, cultural and academic institutions and nightclubs will be able to operate at 100% capacity without requiring vaccination QR codes.
