Went through immigration yesterday, Aug 19. Couple of things on the current situation.
Health Pass: The website has changed very little. If you read the narrative it will still tell you insurance is required. However they have added a question asking if you have been vaccinated outside Costa Rica. If you answer yes, you then get a series of questions about which vaccine and dates.
If it is an approved vaccine in CR and two weeks after the last dose you can upload documents. I uploaded a cell phone photo of my CDC card. It then asks if you want to upload your insurance documents. Implying it is still needed after you just entered vaccination info. I said no and was then given the QR Code.
The Health Pass website at no place I found tells you that with vaccination proof you no longer need insurance. Actually it keeps telling you the opposite. You have to have confidence in knowing it is no longer required.
Yesterday in Immigration they scanned the QR Code and asked no further questions.
Previously Immigration gave you the number of days your insurance was good. With the proof of vaccination I was given 90 days.
Thanks Bulldog, useful info.
