Overview
Costa Rica is listed in the Visa Atlas directory with stable ISO codes CR/CRI, capital San José. This directory covers 196 countries: the 193 United Nations member states plus the Holy See, the State of Palestine and Kosovo. That is a chosen editorial scope, not a universally accepted count — recognition and membership differ between organisations and governments, and listing a place here implies no political position.

A working link is not proof of official status, and a reachable page is not expert review. Confirm every rule on the government site itself before you travel.
