Does SanJose airport in Costa Rica have exit immigration/passport control?or is it like the USA where you dont go through immigration or passport control when you exit but only when you enter the country?

Answer 1

Yes they do have passport control before you leave the airport.

Answer 2

There is an exit control.  They will verify that you haven't overstayed your visa and that you have paid your departure tax ($26).  If you have overstayed, I think you can just pay a modest fine ($5 a day??) there at the airport.  This was the case several years ago, but I am not up to date on this so you had better check if this is an issue for you.

Answer 3

yes and there is a fee as well to exit
