I have seen a couple of posts that said you do not have to pay the tax if you are going for a couple of days on the bus. But have not confirmed that. I wanted to see Panama City during my 9 day CR vacation but does that mean I have to pay departure tax when the bus crosses the border and pay tax again 3 days later when I fly out? Also will there be another tax for exiting Panama?
Does anyone have experience with this.
Thanks
No, the Costa Rican departure tax is assessed only when leaving the country via air travel. The last time I crossed into Panama, a tourist card was required. The cost is $ 5 US and valid for 30 days. Be prepared for delays at the Paso Canoas border crossing. No need to exchange money when visiting Panama... the official currency is the "Balboa" (aka the US Dollar).
