Will I need a passport?

Definitely. If you do not already have one, you should apply for a passport immediately.  The requirements are somewhat strict, and once you have everything they require, it can still take well over a month to get your passport.  U.S. passports are good for ten years; once you have one, you’ll be set for international travel for a long time. If you already have a passport, make certain that it is valid until 6 months beyond your return date.

Because acquiring a passport is a lengthy process, each student must apply for a passport at the time they are applying for the LASP. 

When arriving in San José, the student will be granted a 90-day tourist visa as they go through immigration.
