Costa Rica abruptly changes migration rules

Monday, December 19, 2016


Costa Rica this week abruptly changed its migration policy to stop visitors using visas for the EU’s Schengen zone or for Japan from entering the country, causing many “problems,” according to one official.

The decision was not explained.  It came into effect on Tuesday, just as the  country was gearing up for its end-of-year high tourist season.
