When crossing the border on the ground to Costa Rica, is entry a problem if your valid passport is unstamped?


Travel Info
Unstamped from the country from which you are entering (like from Nicaragua to C.R.) ?

Travel Tips
You're to show the Migration officers in Pe帽as Blancas (if you're entering from Nicaragua) that you're leaving Nicaragua and entering Costa Rica in a lawful fashion. Having no proof that you left Nicaragua in a lawful way, will raise questions indeed.
This is a situation that should be fixed in the frontier. Don't worry: it happens from time to time that someone forgets to put the stamp in your passport, but if you don't do anything about it right away, most probably Migration in Costa Rica won't let you in. If they already allowed you to enter, then it's OK, as long as you don't have to return to Nicaragua, where the records will looks as if you're still there. Source(s): Experience

Other Travel Tips
It will be a problem when you try to leave. Because they have no way of knowing the date you entered the country. Costa Rica gives most countries 90 days. If you at least have a copy of the paper of what you declared it will help. I would find the nearest immigration office to correct it.
