Visa Details
Type of Visa -
Non Immigration Visa-
All persons wishing to apply for a U.S. non-immigrant visa
must call our Call Center at 900 1 VISA USA (900-1-847-2872) to
make an appointment. (Alternatively, your travel agent may make
the appointment for you. He or she will then advise you of the process.)
The caller is charged a flat fee of 1500 colones for a call up to
eight minutes. The charge does not begin until a live operator comes
on the line. We accept visa applications only from persons physically
present in Costa Rica, and it is not possible to reach this number
from outside of Costa Rica. A resident of Costa Rica who is temporarily
outside of the country when he or she wishes to make an appointment
will need to ask friends or relatives within Costa Rica to make
the call for them.
