01 · Tell us where you’re starting
Share your nationality, where you live now, the people moving with you, and what you want to do in Costa Rica. A rough timeline is helpful; a perfect plan is not required.
02 · Understand your options
Explore the routes that may fit your circumstances and identify the requirements that need individual review. We distinguish general information from questions that require official confirmation or professional legal advice.
03 · Map the document work
Plan for civil records, background documents, apostilles or legalization, translations, and route-specific evidence. The correct list depends on the category and your history; avoid ordering documents from a generic checklist before confirming your route.
04 · Agree on the next step
If you want paid assistance, the service scope, fee, exclusions, and any third-party costs must be set out before you engage. An inquiry does not create a paid engagement or an attorney-client relationship.
05 · Prepare for the whole process
Immigration decisions, requests for further documents, entry permissions, health insurance, registration, and renewals all need realistic planning. No person can promise an approval or a fixed government processing time.
