The CostaRica citizens are required a visa to travel to Vietnam for purposes of tourism, business, family visit or study. Those transiting at Vietnam's airport and not crossing immigration area do not need the visa. Besides, Phu Quoc's visitors are exempted from visa if staying no more than 30 days. This is just applicable for those who travel to Phu Quoc Island only, not go to other parts of Vietnam.
