IMPORTANT:
U.S. tourists will only be welcomed if they are residents of the following states:
New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, and Connecticut. Passengers must prove their residency in one of those states using their driver’s license.
Tourists must obtain a negative PCR-RT test within 48 hours of their flight and purchase a travel insurance plan that covers COVID-19. (This can be a pre-approved Costa Rican plan or a foreign one that meets a series of requirements.)
In addition, all arriving passengers must complete an online health form.
The Costa Rica Tourism Institute said that it expects about four flights a week from the airports of Newark (EWR), La Guardia (LGA) and John F. Kennedy (JFK). All are located in the New York City area.
“In these moments, [New York] is one of the states with the best control of the pandemic,” Segura said. Good for them.
All Airlines can operate routes to Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) near San José and Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia, Guanacaste. It will mark the first commercial flights to LIR since Costa Rica imposed its border restrictions.
Moreover, Segura said Costa Rica is analyzing the coronavirus situation in Colorado, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, and that residents of those states may soon be allowed to visit Costa Rica.
So, we should expect more news in the coming months and a big reduction in COVID Cases.
