YES! A passport is required. Current passport processing time up to 12 weeks. If you do not have a passport yet, this doesn’t allow much time for a hiccup. We strongly recommend that you get your passport applications submitted NOW! If you have a passport, check your expiration date. Costa Rica only asks that your passport be valid for the length of stay in Costa Rica. However, we encourage you to consult with the airline to ensure they don't have their own passport validity requirements. We recommend you renew your passport if it's going to expire 6 months after our wedding - May 2024.

Motion sickness pills and dramamine for anyone who might need it. No need to bring a plug adapter as the rooms have standard US outlets.
