Work Permit – Hired by Physical Person
Obtaining a work visa in Costa Rica is not as simple as it seems.
However, the process is very easy: "First findan employer, then get a work permit and finally get your work visa", it is not so simple. Obtaining a work permit in Costa Rica is almost impossible. The reasonis the high level of restrictions the government has put in place to ensure that foreigners don't take the jobs that Costa Ricans can have. In addition, while it is true that Costa Rica provides temporary residence permits to foreigners who wish to stay longer thanthree months, this does not allow them to workautomatically. In addition, only Costa Rican citizens or permanent residents can work in the countrywithoutprior authorization.
