Argentina visas for Costa Rica citizens

Visa-free entry available

Costa Rica citizens can enter Argentina without a visa for up to 90 days. You can extend for another 90 days, or apply for a longer-term visa while in the country.

Costa Rican citizens enjoy visa-free entry. Small but growing community in Buenos Aires. Spanish language shared makes integration straightforward.
