No need to shake your head.. it's called a process of learning. AT the time of posting I had no answer. After some due diligence I learned a thing or two. Then more due diligence, and more things learned. One thing led to the next and led to the final answer.
BTW, We just returned from Costa Rica. Everything went painlessly well. My wife was able to re-enter the US easily and hassle free.
So there you have it folks, YES it is 100% possible to use a re entry permit as travel document to enter Costa Rica and re enter the United States.
I am rather surprised that being that you are from Costa Rica you should have known all this. Please, if you don't know the answer to a serious question as this, don't give the wrong answers. If I had listened to your response as conclusive, we would have lost opportunities. I'm not putting blames on your honest attempt to help, but a response without careful due diligence can be more damaging than a no response.
OMG, thank you very much for this post!! We are traveling to Costa Rica in a month and I also have re-entry permit, I don't have my passport because it's been taken away since I am a refugee. So I physically do not have passport. Just a question - did your wife get a visa that's been stamped to the re-entry permit prior her visit there or she just went with the permit and it was enough? Thank you!!
does Costa rica require a passport for entry or re entry permit ok?
