Residency & Immigration

Pensionado, rentista, investor residency, and digital-nomad visas — handled properly.

Why This Matters Here

Costa Rica offers several residency paths — pensionado (a lifetime pension of $1,000+/month), rentista (stable income of $2,500/month), inversionista (a $150,000+ qualifying investment, including real estate), and a digital-nomad visa. The paperwork is procedural but unforgiving: apostilles, certified translations, and appointment backlogs punish DIY mistakes with months of delay. A good specialist files it right the first time and manages the timeline for you.

What We Look For Before Recommending Anyone

  • Files directly with Migración — not a middleman reselling another firm's work
  • Honest, current timelines rather than optimistic sales promises
  • Handles apostilles, translations, and document prep end-to-end
  • Clear flat pricing per applicant, dependents included
  • Strong track record with investor (inversionista) cases tied to property purchases
