Immigration services
Residency applications, work permits and immigration matters in Costa Rica, primarily for foreign investors and families.
How we approach this service
A significant part of our client base are foreign investors and families who arrive in Costa Rica with a project, a property or a change of life. For them, immigration status is not an isolated formality but one more piece of a broader plan. That is why we usually handle the immigration process alongside the real estate or corporate work: the client speaks with a single lawyer across every front, and no one has to repeat information.

- 01Temporary and permanent residency
- 02Residency by investment, retiree (pensionado) and independent-income (rentista)
- 03Residency through a tie to a Costa Rican
