Airport and Arrival Information
Who will meet me at the airport? What should I do if I get delayed or miss a flight? When should I arrive?
All Costa Rica volunteers are asked to arrive at the Juan Santa Maria International Airport (SJO) San Jose , Costa Rica where our staff will meet you.
We ask that you fly with all your important documents, including your volunteer placement, passport, visa and vaccination booklet. Please have them accessible in case you are asked to produce them. Volunteers will get a tourist stamp in their passport good for 90 days upon arrival in Costa Rica . Our volunteers join our program on a tourist visa basis. Volunteers do not need a long term or working visa.
If some sort of delay occurs, including flight delays or missed flight, contact our Costa Rica office as soon as possible. Volunteers coming to Costa Rica are advised to arrive one day before their program start date. If you arrive more than one day early or stay after the program, you will be responsible for your room and food expenses.
