AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Migration & Work Rights: Costa Rica reactivated a special migration category for thousands of Cuban migrants, plus Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and Colombians, letting eligible people live and work legally even with pending or rejected asylum cases; the measure (DG-0064-05-2026) takes effect Sept. 1, 2026, with two-year renewable permits and unrestricted access to paid work. U.S. Extradition: An appeals court in San José ordered the deferred extradition to the United States of “Macho Coca” (Gilbert Hernán Bell Fernández), keeping him in custody while his local case is resolved. Tourism & Travel Costs: Guanacaste’s airport logged a record 876 pet arrivals in the first four months, while BAC Credomatic began charging a 6% fee for foreign-card holders who choose to pay in their home currency via dynamic currency conversion—travelers can avoid it by declining at checkout. Startup Push: LEAPCR launched to accelerate startups, attract investment, and create jobs, backed by the IDB Lab and local partners. Security Plan: President Laura Fernández outlined tougher coordinated action against organized crime, including a push for harsher penalties tied to clandestine airstrips. Sports: La Sele fell 3-1 to Colombia in a World Cup warm-up/farewell match in Bogotá.
