Dear Friends,
When people think about moving abroad, they often get excited by the dream of a new lifestyle, lower expenses, and fresh opportunities. But what many don’t anticipate are the hidden costs that can surprise even the most prepared expats.
In countries around the world, expats face unexpected expenses like:
-
Paying extra for importing household goods.
-
Complicated residency requirements that involve costly legal fees.
-
High healthcare premiums without access to affordable public options.
-
Ongoing “surprise” taxes on worldwide income or investments.
The good news is that Costa Rica is different. While every move has expenses, Costa Rica makes relocation easier and more affordable in several ways:
-
No taxes on foreign income – You’re only taxed on income earned inside Costa Rica.
-
Low property taxes – Just a fraction of what many pay elsewhere.
-
Access to quality, affordable healthcare – Both public and private.
-
A straightforward residency process – With clear categories and professional guidance available.
That means more of your budget stays in your pocket, and you can spend it enjoying the pura vida lifestyle instead of paying hidden bills.
On our relocation tours, we explain all of these details, with real numbers and advice from local experts. You’ll leave with a clear picture of what to expect—and what not to worry about.
Why risk costly surprises when you can plan ahead with confidence? |
