Our Immigration Practice provides comprehensive legal support to multinational companies, foreign investors, and individuals seeking to establish themselves in Costa Rica. We assist clients in navigating the immigration framework with clarity, efficiency, and a practical understanding of both regulatory requirements and operational needs. Our approach is tailored, responsive, and focused on facilitating smooth and timely processes aligned with each client’s objectives.
We have extensive experience advising multinational companies and entities operating under the Free Trade Zone (FTZ) Regime, which benefit from streamlined procedures for obtaining work permits and residency for foreign personnel in highly technical or managerial roles. We work closely with our clients to structure and coordinate these processes, ensuring alignment with immigration and labor requirements while supporting the efficient relocation of key employees critical to their operations.
In addition, we advise individuals and families seeking residency in Costa Rica through the most commonly used regimes, including Pensionado (pensioner), Rentista (annuitant), and Inversionista (investor). We assist clients in evaluating the most appropriate option based on their personal and financial circumstances, and we guide them through each stage of the application process, ensuring proper documentation, compliance, and coordination with the relevant authorities.
Our approach is proactive and detail-oriented. We anticipate requirements, manage timelines, and coordinate the different steps involved in immigration processes, allowing our clients to focus on their relocation or business operations with confidence. We act as long-term advisors, providing continuity and support as our clients’ needs evolve.
