Can anyone that’s travelled recently comment on the entry requirements?

I was just there in August. Even though I’m vaxed, I got the insurance which was cheap IMO for the peace of mind and I plan on getting it again for this trip. I used Sagicor last time and will probably go with the same again.

Is registering for the health pass still within 48 hours of travel date to get the QR code?

Thanks in advance.

Hey Fieldtech…this is the most up to date info..

“All visitors must also complete an online Health Pass (pasa de Salud) 48 hours prior to travel to Costa Rica. The Health Pass can be found at https://salud.go.cr”.

Has anyone tried the edit function on a prior health pass to keep from having to re-upload vaccine records.l, passport, name, etc. Uploading travel insurance may or my not complicate editing. If vaccinated travel insurance does not need to be uploaded.

Just finished doing insurance from Sagicor and registration for my QR code. I didn’t use the edit function from my last trip and started over fresh.

I never saw a place to or was asked for a pic upload of my vax card. My last trip in August had it but not this time unless I missed it. Got my QR code anyways!

You may need that QR to get into places, and not sure if it works if you are not shown as vaccinated.

My understanding is that this is the same QR code you use to show you are vaccinated, which you will need to get into hotels, restaurants, etc.

The options on the forms are built dynamically depending on the data you fill in. So, it might be that when you indicated you have insurance the web page might not have presented you the option to upload a vaccination certificate. Once you certify you have qualifying insurance, your vaccination status is moot relating to immigration, but would be insufficient to get you into the SL.

I think there may be some confusion between "Pase de Salud" QR Code (used to allow entry into the country) and the "Covid 19 Vaccination Status" QR Code. I believe they are still two different things. I have only heard of people entering the SL with a Pase de Salud and showing the actual hard copy of their US "CDC Vaccination Record Card". I believe the scanning app only reads the Costa Rica reads the Covid 19 Vaccination Status.

My Experience
Today I returned to CR from a short trip to the US. This was my first entry since receiving residency. Last night when I filled out the Pase de Salud form, I did so with my DIMEX (residency ID). I was only asked if my CAJA payments were up to date. I did not have to have additional insurance or upload any vaccination proof.

Question
Has anyone reported being able to enter the SL using only their Pase de Salud QR code?
