    I got here Dec 2013 with a 90 day visa and plan to leave next month (June) this means I have overstated my visa for 3 months and was under the impression that I would be penalized $100.00 for every month over my 90 day visa.

    I decided to call Immigracion and inform myself on this issue because I also did read about overstaying over the 90 and if you did not pay the $100.00 a month penalty you would be penalized 1 month for every month over, OR be penalized of not being able to return for that period.

    They told me today that they are not enforcing this Law anymore.

    I have tried to get confirmation thru “La Gaceta” but been unable.

    So I called the Airport (Juan Santamaria) and they did confirm, NO LATE EXIT PENALTY.

    Unfortunately, this [i]may[/i] be one of the things that depends on who you deal with at the airport…:roll:…but it [i]will[/i] show up when they check at a later date if you apply for Residency
