Dear Friends,
Already living in Costa Rica or planning a long-term move?
Then you’ll want to understand what comes next when it comes to residency renewal.
Most expat residency categories like Pensionado, Rentista, or Inversionista are valid for two years. Renewal involves showing proof of income, updated Caja payments, and documents showing you’re still living in Costa Rica.
✅ Start the process 3–4 months early to avoid delays
✅ You may qualify for permanent residency after 3 years — no more income requirements
✅ Letting your residency lapse means fines, losing Caja access, or restarting the whole process
Want help navigating it all? That’s what we do.
During our Live in Costa Rica Relocation Tours, we connect you with trusted residency experts and explain the full process step-by-step — including how to stay legal, insured, and at peace long-term. |
