Yellow fever certificate
I read that you might need a yellow fever certificate if you enter Costa Rica from a neighboring country. We wanted to go to CR, then travel into Panama and back into CR to fly out. Does anyone know if you need a yellow fever certificate upon re-entering CR from Panama?4
If you are coming from a South American country with YF. then you yes you are supposed to have the YF certificate. Panama mainly enforces this, never heard of it in CR.6
have to agree - rarely enforced in costa rica. i flew into costa rica a couple of years ago from argentina and no one asked anything.however - it doesn't mean they won't!
if you think you will be traveling to costa rica from a country where there is a presence of yellow fever, best to do some research. and -- you will need to get a vaccination 10 days ahead of your trip, if you need one.
that being said --- once again -- no need for yellow fever vaccine if coming into costa rica from panama.

AFAIK it is technically required for Bolivia.I've crossed into the country a few times and no-one has asked to see it though...but they could.
