Holiday policy: lost group classes because of public holidays will not be made up.

Visa to enter Costa Rica

Students from USA, Canada, Europe, Japan and other countries receive a tourist visa for 180 days (!) when they arrive in Costa Rica. For longer stays, students can spend 72 hours outside of the country and upon re-entry, they will be granted another 180 days as tourists. This makes for a nice long weekend trip to Nicaragua or Panamá that we will help you organize.

Visit the official website of the Costa Rican Immigration Office for detailed visa information.

Covid info

Costa Rica currently has no restrictions regarding covid, please read our page about covid updates.
