Irene Christensen | Oct 12, 2020
Consulate General of Costa Rica | Oct 12, 2020

There is no need to request a new passport before traveling to Costa Rica. For Norwegian passport holders, the minimum validity required to enter the country is one day. We do not omit to say that the decision to be admitted into the country is entirely discretionary by the immigration officer.

Hi there! The card is free and the passport I think comes out at $ 108. You have to take it in a money order and you need to have the valid ID to renew your passport. If you do not have the valid ID you need to renew it first. You can make an appointment online for both transactions, I hope this is helpful 🙂

Only the valid ID and a money order of 100 something and make an appointment, if you enter Ellis's page They give you all the information, the appointment you have to do online, not by phone. Another thing that came to mind , I think that because the passports have been stolen or lost, you have to make a notarized paper saying that you are how it appeared in the passports and that it was lost

is there parking available?
