I believe it's $28 at Sportsmens. I'd suggest you get it before heading to the airport. It's usually short, but I have seen the exit tax line at the airport go around the corner when I came in Aug 21st. The wait would have been 20-30 minutes. |

Do you have to stay at the SL to pay the fee? |

Still, it just makes sense to do it at the airport and change money at the bank next to it at the same time |

If it's worth your time, on arrival, go upstairs and change money at bank rates, and buy your departure tax.If you're not so inclined to go upstairs on arrival, it's a good idea to buy the departure tax at SL. No waiting, and it's one less thing to worry about at the airport. SR Don't know why this is such a difficult concept for some to grasp

I have never gone upstairs to exchange money or bought my departure tax ahead of time... SL affords me to be as lazy as possible to do both right on campus. I guess it depends how much you are exchanging but for me its only about a hundo every 2 days or so.. Cujo |

This is probably best addressed in another post but--What's the purpose of changing money when most venues and probably the Chicas will accept USD at a reasonable rate? I can see exchanging $100 or so for incidental expenses but otherwise--why? Especially if you know what the real rate should be? Bit long in the tooth for this newbie question, aren't I? |

I agree, like I said I exchange a hundo every 2 days or so for an occasional taxi or if I go out and eat somewhere etc.. I'm with you, I don't get it; but then again, my give a shit factor is pretty low on this too.. Cujo |

Cujo You guy know where to go to do both; many, especially new guys - even those w/ a few trips often don't. I just like the idea of having the stamp bought (one time the line was really long at the airport - this was before you could buy the exit visa in SJ. Re changing money, I normally pay for many things in dollars, and exchange $200 - 300 at the airport bank. I have found that sometimes I'm limited in what I can exchange at a hotel, and I hate the idea of waiting on line at a bank in SJ and carring money back to the room. Different strokes; no real "right or wrong" answer, especially for those who know CR - but since the question comes up quite a bit, I just think - especially for those new to CR - its easier just to have it done and over with

Is there an exit fee if you travel to Granada Nicaragua from San Jose by Tica bus and plan on returning in less than a week? |

I have never left from Liberia but I would assume the fee applies there as well as at SJO. There are various border crossing fees going to Nicaragua or Panama by bus but they are less then the $26.00 exit fee. |

The fee applies for air departures only because a good chunk of the fee goes to airport improvement, maintenance, and transportation fund. The rest goes into the deep pockets of crooked politicians. |

This forum is great! You guy's always have an answer. Sometimes a smartass one, but an answer.  Thank you for the Info. I hope I can give some updated information on Granada when I visit there on 18 October. PURA vIDA!
