🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina visa requirements for Costa Rican citizens

Entry rules for Costa Rica passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Costa Rica can travel to Bosnia and Herzegovina for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 90 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 90-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Bosnia and Herzegovina, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Bosnia and Herzegovina immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Bosnian, Herzegovinian citizens need to arrange entry to Costa Rica in advance (visa required).

Southeast Europe is fully open to Costa Rican travelers — all 9 destinations in the region can be entered without arranging a visa first.
