Costa Rican passport holders are not (yet) eligible for electronic visa. Thus, they would need to go to the nearest embassy or consulate to get a visa. It would seem that the Royal Thai Consulate in Costa Rica is no longer allowed to issue visa, though. They state on their website (
No visa exemption of regular passport holders of Costa Rica either. Seems like quite a hassle to be coming to Thailand in this case.

No embassy or consulate in Panama, Colombia?Chile is really far away from Costa Rica. There are many countries in between. No other Thai embassies there?

No I am not. And I am a swiss citizen. So I can go on visa exempt anyway. But I was just curious. Many countries between Costa Rica and Chile. So I was wondering if there is no consulate or embassy like in Brasil or Colombia.I can't find anything on Google. So if you don't know no problem. I just thought maybe you know
