QCOSTARICA – Given the national blockades that have affected transit, the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería (DGME) – Costa Rica’s immigration service – said it will NOT sanction international land carriers for a possible breach of the authorized migratory period of stay in the country, provided they prove that the breach was caused by road closures.
