Services of the Embassy of Costa Rica in Cuba

The functions of the Embassy of Costa Rica in Cuba are those stipulated in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, to which Costa Rica is a party, and consist of: representing the State of Costa Rica before the State of Cuba; protecting the interests of the State of Costa Rica and its nationals in the State of Cuba; negotiating with the government of the State of Cuba; fostering friendly relations and developing economic, cultural, and scientific relations between the State of Costa Rica and the State of Cuba.

The Embassy of this country represents, for legal and political purposes, the State of that Central American nation before the Cuban government. The consulate of that country in the Cuban capital is also responsible for providing services to Costa Rican citizens who are temporarily or permanently in Cuba.

Regarding procedures, the Costa Rican Consulate in Cuba is responsible for providing consular and immigration services.

Cuban citizens require a visa to enter Costa Rica. Therefore, the legal procedures for applying for a visa to travel from Cuba to that country must be completed at this diplomatic mission.

The government of that country issues several types of visas to citizens interested in entering its territory. These visa types are as follows:

• Artists' permits.
• Consular tourist visa.
• Provisional consular visa for obtaining residency, special categories, and transit.
• Consult and exceptional visas.
• Restricted visas.
• Visas on arrival.
• Multiple visas.
• Visas requested by registered companies or institutions.

Applications for any type of visa to travel from Cuba to that Central American country must be submitted to the Costa Rican Immigration and Foreign Affairs Directorate or to the Costa Rican Consulate in the applicant's country of origin, in this case, the Costa Rican Consulate in Havana.

If you wish to apply for a visa but are unable, for reasons beyond your control, to complete the necessary procedures, you can grant a Special Power of Attorney (Power of Attorney) to a person you trust to act as your legal representative during the application process.

It is important for you to keep in mind that the Consul of that nation on the Island has the legal authority to request any additional documents he or she deems necessary, provided they are essential for the issuance of the visa.

Documents issued outside of Costa Rica must be certified by the Costa Rican Consulate, and if they are not in Spanish, a certified translation must also be submitted (this is not the case for documents issued in Cuba, which are issued in Spanish).
