What is the change? Following a ruling by Costa Rica’s Constitutional Court requiring the legalization of same-sex marriage by May 26, 2020, President Carlos Alvarado has signed a decree directing government agencies to guarantee equal rights to same-sex couples.
What does the change mean? The General Directorate of Immigration (DGME) concluded a public consultation to recognize foreign same-sex partners of Costa Rican citizens. This recognition will be extended for immigration purposes to foreign same-sex couples whose relationship is legally recognized in their country of origin.
Analysis & Comments: The presidential decree broadly requires the equal treatment of same-sex couples by all government agencies, and the DGME announcement indicates that a draft regulation has been submitted that will recognize foreign same-sex couples for immigration purposes.
