And it's no wonder. Costa Rica has so much to offer. The lower cost of living, perfect weather, natural beauty, quality health care, political stability, wonderful culture, and amazing business and investment opportunities makes Costa Rica a retirement paradise.

It is worth repeating that Costa Rica is one of the only affordable places on Earth where average middle-class people can retire in luxury.

Residency status comes with many benefits and may be obtained with an income of as little as $800 per month for the rest of your life. An application process will take place and as long as you have a clean police record you should be accepted. There are several ways to obtain legal residency. Our company attorney can assist you with the decision of which type of residency is most suited to your individual needs, and help you through the process.

Legal residency allows you to stay in Costa Rica without having to leave every three months. You are also eligible for the same low cost medical care insurance system that is used by most "Ticos" as well as entrance into national parks and some adventure areas at discounted "Tico" rates. After 2 years you can become a "permanent resident". Naturalization is also offered after several years. You do not need to give up your citizenship in your home country in most cases.
