    The Safe Travel Voyager insurance plan provides a visa letter stating that the Costa Rica health insurance for visitors covers Covid 19 illness, which is used to complete the Health Pass document and QR code generation. Therefore this plan cannot be bought if the traveler has already left the US. This visa letter can be downloaded online after buying the plan online. To only satisfy the Costa Rica health insurance for visitors requirements, you can use a $0 trip cost and the date you purchased your plane ticket or travel package as the trip deposit date, this will reduce the price of the Safe Travels voyager plan.
    The Safe Travels Voyager plan is a trip cancellation plan which means you can insure the value of your trip. However, Costa Rica does not care whether you insure your trip or not. If you enter $500 or less for "trip cost", you will pay the lowest possible rate. Also, the policy is not cancellable (except within the first 10 day "free look" period) since it is meant to be used in case of trip cancellation.

    Note that only some specific situations are listed for refund of non-reimbursable costs of your trip (up to what you insured). If you want more flexibility, many people can opt for a "Cancel For Any Reason" rider (or CFAR). If you invoke the CFAR rider, you only get 75% of your money back and you must cancel at least 24 hours before you depart. Note that this policy is technically not extendable as it is meant to cover a single trip only.

Costa Rica slowly recovering its tourism industry in 2021

The United States, Canada, Mexico, France, Spain and the United Kingdom are the top countries for international tourists to Costa Rica and they account for nearly 75% of all international visitors to the country. The Covid-19 pandemic has created a very uncertain international travel environment and many travelers are avoiding all non-essential travel.The new Omicron and Delta variants are considered more infectious than any other variant and is affecting fully vaccinated individuals. As a result of this Covid uncertainty, many of these countries have also introduced many travel restriction which has further delayed the Costa Rica tourism sector recovery. To travel to Costa Rica is quite easy and international travelers must have a health pass and mandatory travel health insurance. While there is an increase in tourists visiting Costa Rica in 2021, a full recovery of the tourist segment will depend on the vaccination for Covid which will build further confidence in international travelers. Travelers including a travel insurance cover with Covid-19 cover need not worry about getting coverage for the variants. Irrespective of the variant covid-19 cover will provide visitors with the cover if contracted the illness.
