Thanks for posting the link. It confirms that if you have a valid physical visa in passport, you do not need to apply for the e-visa.

I'm definitely interested. I have an existing visa that doesn't expire until late October 2026. I went to the consulate in NYC to get it and paid over $100 for it. I certainly hope they honor it for the full 10 year term. I hope to return to Brazil in the latter part of January 2024 and intend to use this visa to enter.

The link Mr E posted says physical visas still good.

This visa is a joke. If I can afford to fly to Brazil I have enough money to sustain myself and am not homeless. Showing my bank account is a joke. Reason why Brazil will always be third world.

So we're supposed upload 30 days worth of bank statements for our eVisa? Not like that's a security risk or anything. I'm sure everything will be ok.

How is it a security risk for someone to see who you have paid? My statements are very short because I put everything on Amex the whole month and just pay it off at the end. Only thing I use a bank account for is to pay utilities, paypal credit, amazon credit, and amex. So my shit is only like half a page.

What is the status of the proposed visa for Americans? Is there a firm date for the visa fee to be imposed?

How does Costa Rica compare today to 15 years ago when HDR was busy. That's how long it's been for me.

The Taormina Hotel has replaced the Hotel del Rey as ground zero for fucking in San Jose. In addition the beach town of Jaco, which wasn't a "thing" when I started going, is a must-do destination for mongering in Costa Rica. There are several hotels, bars, nightclubs and so forth there, with the Cocal Hotel being at the center of the action. So, Costa Rica definitely holds onto its "permanent monger member nation" status. Interested mongers should read the appropriate threads to obtain more detailed intel.

Consider it. San Jose and Jaco. Easy to get to. Super newbie friendly. I mean it's like spearing fish in a barrel. Point and click and fuck another hottie! Costa Rica. It's converted many a man into a monger. And from there, you can go on to bigger and better things young man. Costa Rica. A finishing school for mongers! Yes sir it is.

In case anyone is interested. I emailed the consulate of Brazil here in L. A. I asked if I have a visa from before with an expiration date of 2026, will it still be good next year when the new visa rules go into effect. The answer was she believed the visa will still be good but to contact the consulate again in January in case something changes. I will contact again in January unless we find out something earlier.

Thanks for this valuable confirmation, as it's what I've heard as well. I guess we'll see in January!
