I would advise doing your own research but there are apparently quite a few testing clinics in San Jose area and also at least one in most major tourist areas. I’ve heard the price ranges from about $100-$175 depending on location. Personally I doubt the travel insurance would cover that, but I’m not entirely sure.

Also for travelers returning to the US be mindful of the Covid testing required for your return flight. your negative covid test has to be within 72 hrs of your return flight and outside of San Jose we are being quoted times of 24-72 hrs for results so there is a bit of potential for an issue there. we have a return flight on march 1st very early and things are looking to be potentially close for us as our return flight is out of Liberia.

My name is Germaine stclair Nevada swaby I don't like costa rica

Jeez you take forever to get to the point

You dont need nothing to enter costa rica, just to be foreign and have money. Or maybe not even that, just cross the border and enter the country, after that, you will have residence.

That is actually not true. If you'd like to know the different types of ways you can get residency, I have a video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZydvMyIkpeYfco.html It is not as easy as just entering and applying. There are investment requirements, income requirements, or family tie requirements. Residency is a process that is really best done with a lawyer to help navigate the process smoothly.
