Costa Rica visa for Guatemalan citizens

For Costa Rican citizens planning a journey north, travel to Guatemala is conveniently visa-free, allowing for stays of up to 90 days. This ease of entry greatly simplifies movement, particularly given that both nations are signatories to the Central America-4 (CA-4) Border Control Agreement, which facilitates seamless regional travel. Direct flights from Juan Santamaría to La Aurora International Airport are frequent, often taking just under two hours, making the journey effortless, while the availability of three distinct tourist visa options can cater to diverse travel plans beyond the standard 90-day visa-free entry.
