→ United Kingdom visa for Costa Rican citizens
Costa Rican citizens planning a visit to the United Kingdom will soon require an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) to enter, a new system taking effect for this nationality in 2024. This single tourist authorization permits stays of up to 180 days, allowing ample time to experience everything from the Scottish Highlands to London's bustling markets. Travelers typically connect through major hubs such as Madrid or Miami, spanning a significant six-hour time difference from San José to London. This streamlined process aims to facilitate smoother journeys for Costa Ricans eager to explore the UK.
