COVID-19
INFORMATION

Important information about entering Costa Rica and your stay in the country

 

Entry requirements:

1. To enter Costa Rica, an online Health Pass must be completed before departure.

2. Comply with one of the following options

OPTION 1 - COMPLETE VACCINATION SCHEME

Have the complete scheme of vaccines authorized by the Government of Costa Rica, whose date of the last dose may not be less than 14 days prior to your trip to Costa Rica.

The list of authorized vaccines are:

  • AstraZeneca
  • Johnson & Johnson
  • Moderna
  • Pfizer & BioNtech
  • Sinovac
  • Sinopharm
  • Covaxin

This will be demonstrated by the corresponding vaccination certificate, added to the Health Pass.

The combination of vaccine brands are allowed, as long as they (if two doses are required) are within the authorized brands.

Children under 18 years of age, vaccinated or not, do not need special insurance to enter. Of course, we still recommend taking out travel insurance to cover you financially in case of illness or accident.

As of 1 December, 2021 some establishments such as hotels, adventure tourism activities, restaurants, bars and casinos, shops and shopping centres, museums, event halls, gyms, theatres, cinemas, sporting events, churches and mass activities may choose to voluntarily request the COVID-19 vaccination QR code from their customers in order to expand their capacity. This certification requirement for entry to businesses is separate from the requirements for entry into the country. More detail on this new policy is provided in section 4.

OPTION 2 - INSURANCE POLICY FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19

All those who do not have the complete vaccination schedule, must have a mandatory travel insurance that covers accommodation in case of quarantine and medical expenses in case of Covid-19 disease.  

Proof of travel medical insurance with a minimum coverage of USD 50,000 for medical expenses in case of Covid-19 disease, as well as USD 2,000 coverage for any quarantine costs, must be attached to the Health Pass.

  • For our Swiss guests, there are already insurance possibilities with Helsana, Swika, Helvetia, and CSS, which cover local quarantine conditions.
  • The Lufthansa Group offers European customers who arrive with Lufthansa, Edelweiss or Swiss an insurance package with coverage of quarantine costs through AXA (if return journey not later than March 14, 2022).
  • If the international travel health insurance does not cover the USD 2.000 for any quarantine costs, please contact us and we will find a solution for you.
  • At the end of the health form, a QR code is generated which the customer can save on his mobile phone or print out. This QR code must be presented upon entry.
  • The health form must be presented upon check-in. Otherwise, some airlines refuse to board.
  • Anyone who has symptoms of Covid-19 before departure should not travel.

3. A negative PCR test is NOT REQUIRED.

4. From 01 December 2021, and until 7 March 2022, commercial establishments such as hotels, adventure tourism activities, restaurants, bars and casinos, shops and shopping centres, museums, event halls, gyms, theatres, cinemas, sporting events, churches and mass activities may choose to voluntarily request the COVID-19 vaccination QR code from their customers in order to expand their capacity. Commercial establishments that do not request the vaccination QR code from their patrons should operate under limited seating and spacing measures. Vaccination will not be required to enter supermarkets, pharmacies, hospitals, banks and other services considered essential.

Tourists over 12 years of age must present a QR code obtained from the Health Pass (the same one they used when entering the country) proving their complete vaccination schedule in order to be able to enter the above-mentioned businesses that voluntarily request it.

The same QR code can be presented on the smartphone or printed out and will be scanned by the establishment.

The vaccination schedule must be complete and at least 14 days prior to entry into the country. The vaccines accepted are the same as those mentioned in point 2 for entry into the country.

The certification requirement to enter the shops is independent of the requirements to enter the country. This means that NON-vaccinated persons can still enter the country, but their travel experience will be extremely limited. In a transitional phase until 7 January, businesses may decide to operate at only 50% capacity and receive unvaccinated guests. But in view of the good booking situation, almost no tourist establishment will do so. From 8 January there will be no more exceptions.

Tourists who have been recovered from COVID 19 must be vaccinated at least once. The certificate must make it clear that the vaccination schedule is thus complete (1/1 dose).

Exempted from providing evidence of vaccination are all persons under 12 years of age and all persons with a duly accredited medical condition that makes it impossible for them to be vaccinated.

5. All nationalities can enter through the international airports of San Jose and Liberia.

 

Information on the covid-19 test infrastructure in Costa Rica

Entering Costa Rica by land

Since April 5, 2021 the land borders with Nicaragua and Panama are open, the requirements for entry through the land borders are identical to the requirements for entry through the airports so it is necessary to fill out the Health Pass online and prove insurance in case you do not comply with your full vaccination schedule.

The following are the requirements for entry into our neighboring countries:

  • Entry Panama:
    • Online form: https://www.panamadigital.gob.pa/

    • Entry requirements for travelers who have been in Costa Rica during the last 15 days:

      Non-vaccinated travelers

      They are required to present to present a negative COVID-19 PCR or antigen test taken no more than 72 hours prior to their arrival time in Panama. If the test if not possible  within that time frame, a COVID 19 rapid test will be required at the airport before entering customs. The traveller will have to cover the cost of this test ($50.00).

      In case of a positive result, the traveler will be placed under a mandatory 14-day quarantine in a Hotel Hospital designated by the Ministry of Health. The cost of the stay must be fully covered by the traveler.

      For unvaccinated travelers or travelers without a complete vaccination scheme, if the results are negative, the traveler will be placed under a mandatory 72-hour quarantine at certain authorized hotels (see more information here), and at the end of this period, another PCR or antigen test must be taken.

      Vaccinated Travelers:

      All vaccinated travelers will be exempt from presenting a negative COVID 19 test to enter Panama and from doing the mandatory 72-hour quarantine as long as they can provide physical or digital proof of their full vaccination scheme endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), equal to or greater than 14 days after the last dose.

  • Entry Nicaragua:
    • Negative PCR test not older than 72 hours (antigen rapid tests are not accepted)
    • Indication of the residence address in Nicaragua upon entry

Safety while traveling

Thanks to the country's robust health system and progress in the vaccination process, the COVID-19 situation in Costa Rica is under control and the process of vaccinating the population continues to be successful.

Costa Rica is a good destination for travel during the pandemic if known hygiene protocols are followed. These protocols are strictly applied in all tourist sites in the country and results show that they are working properly.

  • Mask requirements at airports and during the entire flight.
  • Mask requirement in Costa Rica in shops, bus stops, during bus rides, when entering/leaving restaurants, and all contacts where the minimum distance of 1.8 m cannot be kept. The use of face masks is mandatory for all persons including children from 3 years of age.

  • Keeping the minimum distance of 1.8 m to people from other social bubbles.
  • Regular disinfection of rooms, vehicles, luggage, tables, and all surfaces that are often touched by the service providers' staff.
  • Facilities for hand washing or disinfection everywhere.
  • Largely contactless service (check-in, menus as QR code, etc.)
  • Excellent public and private health care. ARA Tours works with an English-speaking doctor for our customers, e.g. for remote diagnosis.
  • High hygiene standards and drinking water across the country.

  • Dominik

    • "Guten Tag Jennifer
      Wie wir bereirs Simone mitgeteilt haben, ist der Aufenthalt im Lapa Rios extrem bereichernd, dank der gut geplanten Bepflanzung und der unberührten Umgebung sehen wir sehr viele Tiere. Entgegen den Plänen vor dem Aufenthalt möchten wir zum Schluss nicht mehr Tiere in Gefangenschaft besuchen. Wir werden die paar Stunden vor dem Abflug noch einen Blick in die Stadt werfen.
      Dir und deinem Team danken wir ganz herzlich für die hervorragende Beratung und die permanente Unterstützung! Wir können Ara Tours nur weiter empfehlen.
      Beste Grüsse."
    • "Good day Jennifer
      As we have already told Simone, the stay at Lapa Rios is extremely enriching, thanks to the well planned planting and the untouched environment we see a lot of animals. Contrary to the plans before the stay, we do not want to visit more animals in captivity at the end. We will have a look at the few hours before we leave.
      We thank you and your team very much for the excellent advice and the permanent support! We can only recommend Ara Tours.
      Best regards."
    • "Buenos días Jennifer
      Como ya le hemos dicho a Simone, la estancia en Lapa Rios fue extremadamente enriquecedora, gracias a la gira bien planificad, y al entorno virgen, vimos muchos animales. Contrariamente a los planes antes de la estancia, no queremos visitar más animales en cautividad al final. Veremos más animales durante las pocas horas que nos quedan antes de irnos.
      Le agradecemos mucho a usted y a su equipo por los excelentes consejos y el apoyo permanente. Sólo podemos recomendar Ara Tours.
      Saludos cordiales."

  • LG Daniel, Jana und Theo

    • "Ein großes Dankeschön, Ihr habt unseren Urlaub gerettet!
      Wo fange ich/ wir an? Bereits in Deutschland hat die Kommunikation sehr gut funktioniert. Die Hilfe von Euch insbesondere durch Aline ist hier zu erwähnen. Diese war von der ersten WhatsApp Nachricht bis zur letzten fantastisch. Wir kennen Costa Rica bereits, daher wussten wir was wir wollen und was nicht. Trotzdem war AraTours für uns ein wichtiger Ansprechpartner. Gerade weil unser eigentlicher Reiseanbieter 36 Stunden vor Abflug unsere Reise gecancelt hatte, sind wir Aline sehr dankbar. Sie hat sofort alles für uns organisiert. Ob Hotel im schönen Punta Leona, ob die Touren in die Nationalparks, selbst der Shuttleservice mit dem großartigen Fahrer Guillerno Ortega muss hier erwähnt werden. Wir sind Dir, liebe Aline, aber auch dem gesamten AraTours Team sehr dankbar. Auch Ihr habt unsere knapp 3-wöchige Reise nach Costa Rica wieder unvergesslich werden lassen. Wir kommen gerne wieder und werden dann natürlich wieder über AraTours buchen."
    • "A big thank to you, you saved our vacation!
      Communication already worked very well in Germany. The help from you, especially through Aline, should be mentioned here. This was fantastic from the first WhatsApp message to the last. We already know Costa Rica, so we knew what we wanted and what not. Ara Tours was an important point of contact for us. We are very grateful to Aline precisely because our actual travel agent cancelled our trip 36 hours before departure. She immediately organized everything for us. Whether the hotel in beautiful Punta Leona, the tours to the national parks, even the shuttle service with the great driver Guillerno Ortega has to be mentioned here. We are very grateful to you, dear Aline, but also to the entire Ara Tours team. You too made our almost 3-week trip to Costa Rica unforgettable again. We would love to come back and of course we will book through Ara Tours again."
    • "Un gran agradecimiento, ¡nos han salvado las vacaciones!
      ¿Por dónde empiezo/empezamos? Ya desde Alemania la comunicación funcionó muy bien. Debo mencionar la gran ayuda de ustedes, especialmente a través de Aline. Esto fue fantástico desde el primer mensaje de WhatsApp hasta el último. Ya conocíamos Costa Rica, así que sabíamos lo que queríamos y lo que no. Sin embargo, ARA Tours fue un contacto importante para nosotros. Especialmente porque nuestro actual proveedor de viajes había cancelado nuestro viaje 36 horas antes de la salida, por eso estamos muy agradecidos con Aline porque inmediatamente organizó todo para nosotros. Desde el hotel en la hermosa Punta Leona, en las excursiones en los parques nacionales, incluso el servicio de transporte con el gran conductor Guillerno Ortega debe ser mencionado también. Te estamos muy agradecidos, querida Aline, pero también a todo el equipo de ARA Tours. También han hecho que nuestro viaje de 3 semanas a Costa Rica fuera inolvidable. Estaremos encantados de volver y, por supuesto, reservaremos de nuevo a través de ARA Tours."

Die Rundfahrt war einfach der Hammer !! Die Betreuung durch Carlos war eifach nur Spitze. Wir haben schon viele Reisen gemacht, aber diese ist Dank Carlos zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis geworden.

    • ARA Tours kann ich nur weiterempfehlen. Danke nochmal an Nicole für die tolle Ausarbeitung der Tour und die Betreuung.

Our tour guide Peter Käser was simply incredible (a walking encyclopaedia) and always had an answer to all my questions about the flora and fauna and the history of CR. Our driver Julio carried my father on his hands, for which I am very grateful. CR is also worth a trip for wheelchair users at any time (with ARA Tours, of course).

Everything worked out perfectly (except for the handover of the rental car, which was force majeure...). So thank you again and I have already recommended you to friends:-)!
    • Quería daros las gracias de nuevo por el estupendo viaje a Costa Rica. Estamos muy contentos y volvimos a casa con muy buenas impresiones. Un elogio para la súper organización. Todo funcionó a la perfección (excepto la entrega del coche de alquiler, que fue de fuerza mayor...). ¡Así que gracias de nuevo y ya os he recomendado a mis amigos:-)!
