I have arrived on tourist visa, my company applies for a work visa. Something got stuck with the paperwork and I may not get it before my tourist visa expiration. I have arrived with one way ticket to Costa Rica and onward one way flight to Guatemala cca 85 days later only to satisfy the immigration. Now if I leave Costa Rica to Guatemala as a tourist, when flying back to Costa Rica to get fresh tourist visa I will need to provide another proof of onward flight (let it be Panama). It is a bit too much travelling to my taste. What if I let expire the Guatemala flight, leave Costa Rica overland (to Panama or Nicaragua) and return to Costa Rica overland? Will I be asked for another proof of travel out of Costa Rica when arriving by car? Will this work and will it be safe? I have already started working, my family is moving to a long term apartment and I am about to buy a furniture and car. Obviously, I do not want to get stuck on Costa Rican border with my family not allowed to enter.
