I may be mistaken, but this is not new "NEWS"! This same thing (verbatum I think) was published several months ago.

If that's the case, then I apologize for posting it. I just read it this morning in today's edition of Inside Costa Rica, and I thought it was good info to post. Here's the link:

However, the immigration service has yet to enforce this overstay rule and according to immigration officials tourists who have overstayed their visa period will not be required to pay. Not yet anyways, but will be required to do so when the law is expected to be enforced before the middle of December. Currently, Costa Rican authorities at the San José airport are checking the entry stamp at the security check point which occurs after paying the exit tax and given a boarding pass by the airline.

William Walker convinced many Southerners of the desirability of creating a slave-holding empire in tropical Latin America...
In Central American countries, the successful military campaign of 1856-1857 against William Walker became a source of national pride and identity, and it was later promoted by local historians and politicians as substitute for the war of independence that Central America had not experienced. April 11 is a Costa Rican national holiday in memory of Walker's defeat at Rivas. Juan Santamaría, who played a key role in that battle, is honored as the Costa Rican national hero.

Greengo,
It's way easier to understand your posts than to understand why the hell you choose to stay in Costa Rica. If you have such utter disdain for the country, why don't you leave?

As for them checking the entry stamp, I do not believe I have ever NOT had my last entry stamp checked (normal proceedure). Other countries do the same thing. In fact, when returning on my last trip to Panama, the officer (Panamanian) kept looking at an old stamp ((6 months old) and told me I had a serious problem and needed to come inside the office. I showed him the correct stamp (4 days old) and he apologized. Only those who have over stayed their 90 days (in other words, those breaking the law) should have reason to be concerned.

2. Issue perpetual tourists 30 day visas instead of the normal 90 days.

The law clearly allows for perpetual tourists

When you come in the country and they say 'how long', say 90 days and they will give you a 90 day stamp, its that simple.
