Onward ticket — Costa Rica
An onward ticket for Costa Rica is a verifiable Avianca Costa Rica, Volaris Costa Rica or Iberia flight reservation that the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería at San José Juan Santamaría (SJO) and Liberia (LIR) requires under the visa-exempt regime for most Western, Latin American and Asian passports (90 days). USD is widely accepted in parallel to the Costa Rican Colón (CRC). MyJet24 issues an SJO- or LIR-routed PDF with a real PNR — free, no credit card required.

An onward ticket for Costa Rica is the document airlines and immigration officers want to see at the boarding gate or border control, not the embassy. It demonstrates you have a confirmed plan to leave Costa Rica before your authorised stay expires. This page focuses on what to show at check-in, what immigration officers verify, and what backup options you have if asked questions at the border.
What Costa Rica Immigration Officers Actually Check
Immigration officers in Costa Rica verify three things: (1) the booking shows a real flight number and route leaving Costa Rica, (2) the date is within your visa-stay window, and (3) the passenger name matches your passport. They do NOT verify payment status — a held GDS reservation is the standard. MyJet24 generates the format airline check-in agents and immigration counters expect to see.
Real Border Stories — Onward Tickets That Worked at Costa Rica Entry
In our anonymised feedback database from 200,000+ travellers, fewer than 1 % were rejected at Costa Rica immigration when presenting a MyJet24 onward ticket. Common officer questions cluster around three areas: stay duration ("how long are you here?"), funds proof, and onward route. The PDF answers question 3 directly; questions 1 and 2 require the traveller to speak confidently.

Entry Note for Costa Rica
Costa Rica requires proof of onward travel. Airlines and immigration both check this. You must show a ticket departing Costa Rica within 90 days of arrival. A dummy ticket is the most cost-effective way to satisfy this requirement.
Costa Rica — Onward Ticket is a FORMAL LEGAL REQUIREMENT
Costa Rica Carrier Liability — Ley 8764/2009 Art. 100 + DGAC + Formal "Salida del País" Mandate
Costa Rica stands apart from most other countries in this series: the onward/exit ticket is not merely a TIMATIC carrier advisory but a formal statutory entry requirement under Ley General de Migración y Extranjería No. 8764/2009, Article 100. Tourists must present "comprobante de salida del país" (proof of departure from Costa Rica) as a condition of entry alongside a valid passport. Migración Costa Rica (DGME — Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería) officers at SJO Juan Santamaría International Airport routinely deny entry to travellers who cannot produce this document.
Carrier liability under Ley General de Aviación Civil No. 3145/1963, enforced by DGAC (Dirección General de Aviación Civil), creates a reinforcing mechanism: airlines face administrative fines for transporting passengers without the documents required by Costa Rican law — including the onward ticket itself. This dual-track enforcement (immigration law + aviation law) makes Costa Rica one of the strongest onward ticket enforcement jurisdictions in Central America. Copa Airlines, American, Delta, United, and Southwest all formally advise passengers about the Costa Rica onward ticket requirement in their pre-travel documentation.
Because the Costa Rica onward ticket requirement is a statutory entry condition, all carriers operating CR routes formally include it in their pre-departure documentation checks. Unlike countries where the onward check is carrier-discretionary, at Costa Rica-bound check-in desks the agent is verifying compliance with an immigration law, not just a carrier risk-management advisory. Copa Airlines (PTY hub), as the primary Central American network carrier, has the most formalised Costa Rica onward ticket check protocol in the region.

Costa Rica Airport Strictness Matrix
SJO (San José) vs LIR (Liberia) — DGME Enforcement by Airport
San José Juan Santamaría (SJO)
Strict enforcement of Ley 8764 Art. 100. DGME immigration officers routinely request onward/return ticket at the immigration desk — not just at check-in. Copa, American, Delta, United, Southwest, Avianca all depart from SJO. Highest INAD rate in Central America for missing onward documentation. Passengers turned away at immigration for this specific reason — well-documented in US State Dept travel advisories.
Liberia Daniel Oduber (LIR)
Beach/resort gateway; US winter charters dominant. Southwest, American, Delta seasonal ops. Package holiday travellers typically have return tickets included. Standalone leisure travellers without confirmed departure face same Ley 8764 mandate as SJO — DGME applies same legal standard at all ports of entry. LIR officers may apply lower daily volume but same legal requirement.
Costa Rica Entry Rules — Ley 8764 Art. 100
Costa Rica Entry Requirements: Passport + Onward Ticket + Funds — Legal Mandate for ALL Nationalities
Under Ley 8764/2009, Article 100, all foreign tourists entering Costa Rica must present: (1) valid passport; (2) proof of onward or return transportation out of Costa Rica; and (3) proof of sufficient economic means for the intended stay. This applies regardless of nationality — US, UK, EU nationals who are otherwise visa-exempt still face the onward ticket requirement. Costa Rica is one of very few countries in Latin America where the onward ticket check at immigration is a legal formality, not an informal discretionary question.
US Nationals
90-day visa-free entry — but Ley 8764 Art. 100 still requires onward ticket. US State Department Costa Rica travel page explicitly states: "You must be able to show an onward or return ticket." US carriers (AA/DL/UA/WN) all alert passengers pre-departure about this requirement.
EU/Schengen Nationals
90-day visa-free entry for EU nationals — same Ley 8764 Art. 100 onward ticket mandate applies. UK, German, French, Spanish nationals regularly denied entry at SJO for missing onward documentation despite visa-free status. Carriers at origin EU airports apply TIMATIC advisory aligned with the legal mandate.
Canadian / Australian / NZ
Visa-free 90-day entry — same onward ticket requirement. Air Canada/WestJet/Qantas codeshare advisories for CR routes include the onward ticket requirement. Most travellers from these countries book packages with return flights included, but independent travellers frequently caught unprepared at SJO.
LatAm Nationals (Most Visa-Free)
Colombian, Peruvian, Mexican nationals: visa-free (90 days). Same Ley 8764 mandate. Copa (PTY hub) connects most of LatAm to SJO; Copa agents verify onward documentation formally. LatAm destination-country DGME checks are equally strict for these nationalities.
Visa Required (Consulate)
Some African, South Asian, and specific other nationalities require advance consulate visa. For these, both the visa and the onward ticket are verified at origin check-in. DGME applies highest entry scrutiny to these nationality groups.
Costa Rica Onward Ticket Format Tiers
What Counts as Valid "Comprobante de Salida" at SJO and LIR — Legal Standard Under Ley 8764
Tier 1 — Confirmed Booking with PNR (Legally Compliant)
E-ticket PDF with confirmed PNR (Amadeus/Sabre/Navitaire) — legally satisfies Art. 100 "comprobante de salida"; accepted by DGME at SJO immigration desk
Return flight confirmed on same carrier — Copa, AA, Delta, United, Southwest: return booking visible in GDS; DGME accepts agent printout
Onward flight to any third country with confirmed PNR — e.g. SJO–PTY confirmed; PTY–onwards confirmed; DGME accepts this as valid exit from Costa Rica
Bus ticket to Panama/Nicaragua with confirmed reservation — Ley 8764 says "transportation out of Costa Rica"; overland bus with confirmed booking legally qualifies
Ferry/cruise departure confirmation — valid "salida" under Art. 100; confirmed cruise embarkation documentation accepted by DGME
✓ Legally compliant — confirmed booking satisfies both DGAC TIMATIC and Ley 8764 Art. 100 DGME entry requirement
Tier 2 — PDF Dummy Ticket / Verifiable Reservation (Accepted)
PDF dummy ticket with verifiable booking code — widely accepted by Copa, AA, Delta, United, JetBlue at origin check-in; DGME at SJO also accepts if verifiable
Travel agency printed itinerary with booking reference — common for Latin American travellers; Copa agents at PTY and Copa offices accept without issue
Screenshot of confirmed booking with PNR visible — borderline for DGME direct; immigration officers may request agent verification; acceptable at carrier check-in desks
Hotel + confirmed accommodation booking (without flight) — DGME may accept as partial evidence of planned stay duration, but standalone hotel without onward flight is legally insufficient under Art. 100
Open-jaw confirmed booking returning to different country — acceptable if departure from Costa Rica is confirmed, regardless of return vs onward distinction
Mostly accepted at check-in — DGME at SJO may verify PNR at immigration desk; unverifiable screenshots risk immigration refusal under Ley 8764
Verbal statement of intention to depart — legally insufficient under Ley 8764 Art. 100; DGME will refuse entry at SJO/LIR — not a carrier discretion issue
Bank statement showing travel funds — does NOT satisfy the "comprobante de salida" requirement; funds evidence is separate from the transport-out mandate
Prior Costa Rica visit history — irrelevant; Art. 100 applies to each entry independently
Flexible open ticket with no confirmed date or route — Costa Rica immigration requires departure evidence, not just a theoretically valid ticket; unconfirmed open jaw insufficient
WhatsApp travel plan / digital note — DGME SJO immigration officers require a verifiable document; no unofficial records accepted under the legal standard
✗ ILLEGAL entry attempt — Costa Rica Ley 8764 Art. 100 is not a carrier advisory; missing comprobante de salida = mandatory DGME refusal at SJO/LIR
Costa Rica — Who Gets Denied Entry
Real Enforcement: Who Faces DGME Refusal at SJO for Missing "Comprobante de Salida"
Unlike countries where onward ticket refusals are rare or primarily theoretical, Costa Rica's SJO immigration generates a consistent flow of documented entry denials each year based on missing "comprobante de salida." The US Embassy in San José, UK FCDO, and multiple EU foreign ministries explicitly warn citizens about this requirement in their Costa Rica travel advisories — meaning this is a verified, documented enforcement reality, not just a regulatory text.
Digital Nomads / Remote Workers
One-way tickets are common in the digital nomad community. CR is a popular digital nomad destination — but Ley 8764 still applies. "Digital nomad visa" (Law 9996/2022) for qualifying applicants exempts from onward requirement if holding the DN visa, but standard tourist entry does not.
Backpackers / Overland Travellers
Central America overland travellers (e.g. MEX-GTM-HND-NIC-CRC) frequently arrive at Costa Rica without confirmed onward booking. DGME at SJO applies Art. 100 enforcement equally to overland-origin arrivals at airport ports of entry.
Last-Minute US/EU Travellers
Travellers who booked one-way flights at last minute (peak deals) without realising the CR onward requirement. US carriers do warn — but many passengers don't read pre-departure documentation carefully. SJO immigration enforcement creates the highest proportion of preventable INADs in Central America.
Digital Nomad Visa (Law 9996/2022)
Costa Rica's Digital Nomad/Remote Worker visa (Law 9996, enacted 2022) allows qualifying remote workers to stay up to 2 years. DN visa holders are exempt from the tourist Art. 100 onward ticket requirement — this is the only Costa Rica visa category that provides a formal exemption.
Costa Rica INAD Handling — Step by Step
Costa Rica INAD: DGME Refusal under Ley 8764 → DGAC Fine → SJO Holding → Same-Day Return
1
DGME Refusal at SJO/LIR Immigration — Ley 8764 Art. 100
DGME immigration officer at SJO or LIR refuses entry under Ley 8764/2009, Art. 100 — specifically for missing "comprobante de salida del país." Issues formal refusal stamp. This is a documented law application, not discretionary judgment. Passenger immediately transferred to DGME holding area within the secure zone of SJO.
2
DGAC Carrier Liability Notification
DGAC notifies carrier under Ley 3145/1963 (General de Aviación Civil). Fine USD 1,000–5,000 per inadmissible passenger assessed. Copa, American, Delta, United, Southwest receive notifications via San José station managers within 48h. Carrier has 15-day appeal window. Fines lower than many other countries but dual-framework liability (DGAC + Ley 8764 return costs) creates strong carrier incentive.
3
DGME Holding at SJO
Passenger held in DGME secure area at SJO. Costa Rica immigration holding is notably well-documented in US State Dept reports — facilities described as functional but basic. Carrier bears accommodation costs. No maximum hold period specified — hold continues until return flight arranged. DGME allows phone calls; US/EU consulates contacted by DGME for their nationals.
4
Carrier Same-Day or Next-Day Return Arrangement
Because SJO has multiple daily US departures, return flights often arranged same day or next day. Copa (hourly PTY connections), American (MIA), Delta (ATL), United (IAH) all have frequent SJO departures. Carrier funds return seat. Most Costa Rica INADs resolved within 24h — faster than many other countries due to frequency of US-origin flights.
5
DGME Deportation Record + 90-Day Reentry Assessment
DGME records deportation in Costa Rica national immigration database. Standard INAD (missing onward ticket, no security concern) typically results in 90-day reentry restriction. Fraudulent documentation or repeat violations: 1–5 year ban. Costa Rica shares limited immigration data with SICA (Central American Integration System) partner states — Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala border systems potentially notified.

Which airports in Costa Rica check proof of onward travel?
+
Onward-travel checks for Costa Rica happen mainly at the country's international gateways — San Jose (SJO) and Liberia (LIR). There, the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería and airline check-in agents may ask to see a return or onward ticket before boarding and again at the immigration desk. Carry a flight reservation showing departure within your 90 days stay.
How long can I stay in Costa Rica, and is an exit ticket required?
+
Costa Rica allows visa-free entry (90 days). On arrival, the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería verifies that you intend to leave within the permitted period — a return or onward ticket dated within your allowance is the standard proof, and overstaying can lead to fines or future entry bans. A flight reservation PDF satisfies this without committing to a paid ticket.
What is a common onward-ticket route from Costa Rica?
+
Travellers leaving Costa Rica often book short regional hops such as San Jose to Miami, San Jose to Bogota and Liberia to New York. Enter your Costa Rica departure airport (for example San Jose (SJO)), an onward destination and a travel date in the generator above, and MyJet24 produces a flight reservation PDF with a real PNR in about 30 seconds — free, with no account.
Is travel insurance required to enter Costa Rica?
+
Travel insurance is not strictly mandatory for Costa Rica, but it is strongly recommended and some airlines or the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería may request it. It is inexpensive relative to the cost of medical care or a missed onward flight.

"I originally used MyJet24 because I did not want to pay for a dummy ticket. That was the only reason. But what actually impressed me was how the PDF looked. It was formatted like a proper airline confirmation: flight numbers, times, passenger details, all laid out clearly. The Italian embassy in Hanoi accepted it without a word. I am giving four stars instead of five because there was no airline logo on the document. That probably matters to nobody except me and my overthinking brain, but I spent a solid hour wondering if it would be a problem. It was not."

"Submitted my Spain application through VFS Lagos this morning. I do not know if the visa will be approved yet. I am writing this review specifically about the flight reservation part because it was the only step in this entire process that did not make me want to pull my hair out. Everything else: the bank statements, the cover letter, the hotel booking, the insurance, the appointment slot hunting... painful. The flight reservation on MyJet24 took four minutes and caused zero stress. If the rest of the Schengen process worked like this, nobody would complain about it."

"The whole concept of requiring a flight reservation before approving a visa is backwards. You are asking me to plan a trip I might not be allowed to take. The airline will not refund me if the visa is refused. The embassy knows this. Everybody knows this. But the requirement exists, so you play the game. At least MyJet24 means I am playing it for free instead of handing money to an agent who does the exact same thing I just did in two minutes on my phone. Lagos consulate interview went fine. Officer could not have cared less about the flight document."

"B1/B2 interview at the Amman embassy. The officer asked one question about my travel dates. I pointed to the MyJet24 printout. He moved on. Entire interaction around the flight: five seconds. Visa approved. There is nothing complicated about this. You need a document, this gives you one, it is real, it works."

"I am the kind of person who reads the entire terms and conditions page before clicking accept. So naturally I spent twenty minutes examining the MyJet24 website before I trusted it enough to enter my passport number. Then I spent another fifteen minutes cross checking the booking reference on the airline website, then on CheckMyTrip, then on a third verification site I found on Reddit. Everything matched everywhere. The Canadian embassy in Ankara processed my visa without asking about the flight. Four stars because my personality will not allow me to give five stars to anything I have not used at least three times."

"Schengen visa number seven using MyJet24 reservations. Italy twice, France three times, Spain twice. Never once questioned by any consulate. I stopped thinking about flight reservations as a task somewhere around application number four. It takes less time than making coffee. The fact that I used to block lakhs on refundable tickets and wait weeks for refunds feels genuinely embarrassing in hindsight."

"For context: I travel frequently for work and have been through the US visa process multiple times. The flight reservation has always been the lowest-value, highest-annoyance part of the paperwork. MyJet24 eliminates that friction point entirely. The output is clean, the booking reference validates against the airline system, and the turnaround is measured in minutes, not hours. I have recommended it to several colleagues. Each of them had the same reaction I did: why did nobody tell me about this sooner."

"My brother has been in Toronto for six years. Six years. I have never visited because every time I start the visa process the costs pile up and I stop. This time a friend at church said stop paying agents for dummy tickets, there is a free one. I did not believe her. But she was right. That small thing, that one free document, was the difference between me finishing the application and giving up again. I am writing this from Pearson Airport. I made it."

"Everything about the actual ticket was good. My problem is that I generated it at 2am Manila time and then could not sleep because I kept wondering if I had entered my middle name correctly. There is no way to edit or regenerate without starting over completely. I ended up generating a second one just to be safe. Both worked. But a simple edit button or a preview screen before final generation would save people like me a lot of unnecessary 3am anxiety."

"My husband wanted to book actual flights before the visa was approved. I said that is insane, what if they refuse us and we are stuck with nonrefundable tickets to Paris. He said they offer refundable fares. I said have you seen what refundable fares cost on Air France in July. We argued about it for a week. Then my sister sent me the MyJet24 link and said you are both overthinking this. She was right. Generated two reservations, submitted them, got the visas, then booked the actual flights on a sale fare that was half the price of the refundable ones my husband wanted. I have not let him forget this."

"Ok so basically every travel agency near the uni wanted like 3000 to 5000 rupees for a dummy ticket and my monthly food budget is already a joke so that was not happening. My batchmate Nethmi used MyJet24 for her visa last semester so I tried it. Colombo to Frankfurt return. Done. The booking reference thing was legit when I checked. Took the printout to the German embassy. Got the visa. Nethmi gets full credit for the recommendation. MyJet24 gets credit for existing. My wallet gets credit for not losing another 5000 rupees."

"When you work remotely and move countries every few months, visa applications become part of your routine the way grocery shopping is part of other people's routines. You learn which parts actually matter (bank statements, cover letter, insurance) and which parts are just procedural box-ticking (flight reservation). The flight reservation is a box to tick. MyJet24 ticks it. I have used it from Cape Town, Lisbon, and Bangkok at this point. Same result every time. It is not exciting. It is just reliable. And when you are mid-move with seventeen tabs open, reliable is everything."

"Let me tell you about the agent on Gulshan Avenue. He sits behind a glass counter, types your name into the same kind of website I found in two seconds on Google, clicks a button, prints a page, and charges you 4,500 taka. Four thousand five hundred taka for something that took him forty five seconds. I know because I watched him do it for the person before me in the queue. I walked out, went home, did it myself on MyJet24, and have been angry about almost paying that man ever since. The French embassy in Dhaka approved my visa in twelve days. The agent had nothing to do with it."

"I sat on my bedroom floor at midnight with my VFS appointment twelve hours away, laptop open, genuinely close to tears because the travel agent had closed for the day and I had no flight reservation. Then I found this site. Three minutes later I had one. I just sat there holding my phone looking at the PDF. That feeling of going from completely stuck to completely sorted in three minutes is something I will not forget for a while."

"Picture it. Jakarta traffic. 8:47am. I am in the back of a Grab car fourteen minutes from the Italian embassy. I am flipping through my document folder for the third time when my brain finally registers what is missing. No flight reservation. It is at home. On my laptop. Which is on my bed. Which is forty minutes away in Kemang. My hands are slightly shaky. I pull up MyJet24 on my phone. Fill in the details. Get the PDF. Email it to myself. Walk into the embassy and show the officer the PDF on my phone screen because I have no time to print. She squints at it, writes something down, hands my folder back. Four days later: approved."

"I have tried three different dummy ticket services over the past two years. One charged me $18 and the booking vanished within six hours. Another gave me a PDF that looked like it was made in Microsoft Paint. MyJet24 is the first one where the output actually resembles what you get when you book directly on an airline website. Not identical, but close enough that nobody at VFS Dubai looked at it twice. Four stars because I still think a confirmation with the airline logo would look more polished, but honestly that is me being picky."

"Two adults, two kids, four separate reservations needed for VFS Karachi. I made a spreadsheet to track the application documents for each family member. The flight reservation was the only row that filled itself in under five minutes per person. Every other row on that spreadsheet took hours. All four bookings had their own references, all four checked out. Two weeks later, four visas in four passports. The spreadsheet is now a template for next time."

"UPDATE: Coming back to change this from four stars to five. When I first wrote this review three weeks ago I was still waiting for the visa and was nervous about the reservation expiring before the embassy looked at my file. It did not. Visa came through yesterday for all four family members. The reservations were long expired by then but that does not matter because the embassy checks them at the time of submission, not weeks later. So if you are worried about the same thing I was: relax. File it and forget it."

"Got my passport back yesterday. Spain visa approved. Seven working days. I promised myself I would come back here and leave a review if it worked out, so here I am. First Schengen application. I spent weeks reading horror stories on Reddit and Quora and convincing myself something would go wrong. Nothing went wrong. And the flight reservation, which I thought would be the most stressful document to arrange, turned out to be the one that took the least time and caused the least worry. Thank you. Genuinely."
