LAST MINUTE NEWS:
IMPORTANT NOTICE: New entrance requirement for US Citizens

Today, Friday, February 14, 2002, without warning we had 2 different clients, US citizens, refused boarding at airports in the United States because their passports expired in less then 6 months. Apparently, the Costa Rican government decided to make this change in visitor policy, or enforce an existing policy, because the US has the same requirement for Costa Rica. Be that as it may, please be sure that you  have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months before they travel. If it is not, they probably will not let you on the plane.
