The processing time can vary significantly and is not fixed; applicants should apply well in advance of their travel date. The visa typically allows a stay of up to 30 days, but the final duration is at the discretion of immigration officials upon arrival. It is highly recommended to contact the nearest Costa Rican Embassy or Consulate for the most up-to-date and specific requirements and procedures.
