Which Costa Rican office handles passports and visas?

For passports, visas and other formal consular services, contact the Embassy of Costa Rica in San Salvador; the honorary consulate in Belize can help with first steps.

What can an honorary consul do?
An honorary consul is not a career diplomat but a local resident – often a business person or lawyer – appointed by Costa Rica and approved by the host country. Depending on the powers granted, the honorary consul can help Costa Rican citizens in an emergency (lost passport, accident, arrest), pass on applications and documents to the embassy, and certify signatures or life certificates. Passports and visas are not issued by an honorary consulate; they remain the responsibility of the embassy or a career consulate.
