Frequently asked questions
Which cities have foreign embassies in Costa Rica?
This directory lists posts in San José, Curridabat, San Rafael. In Costa Rica, many countries keep an embassy in the capital and consulates in cities such as Curridabat and San Rafael.
What is the difference between an embassy and a consulate?
An embassy (or high commission) is the main diplomatic post, almost always in the capital. A consulate is a satellite office that often handles visas, passports, and everyday consular work for residents of that region.

Is this the same as an official government list?
No. This is a Visa Boards directory for travellers. Confirm addresses, hours, and visa rules on each official embassy or consulate website before you visit.
Contact details can change. Prefer each embassy or consulate website for appointments and hours.
