Can you present your vaccine card by picture on your phone? Thanks in advance.
There is the Health Pass and the Vaccine Pass. The Health Pass is an existing requirement to enter Costa Rica. You can upload a photo on to get your Health Pass on the existing site, this allows you to enter without having COVID insurance. Once you do this, there is no need to carry your vaccination card, either the card or a picture.
The Vaccine Pass is a proposed, future requirement to enter businesses in Costa Rica. The Vaccine Pass is currently suspended until the CR courts clarify it. That could change tomorrow, or never. Since the Vaccine Pass requirement is currently suspended, everything about it is speculation.
Given that I speculate that a photo would be acceptable rather than the physical document. BUT, if they merge the Health Pass with the Vaccine Pass, you may only need to show the single pass at Immigration, Hotels, Bars and Restaurants. I also speculate that this is where things end up, but later after May. (no vaccination card after you get the pass) CR is hungry for tourist dollars.
Get Vaccinated, Come down, Party.
