Costa Rica Residency Renewal
Once you have your Costa Rican residency, it will be suitable for a limited time before it needs to be renewed.
For example:
- 1 year – for “Work Permit” and “Spouse of CR”.
- 2 years – for “Pensionado”, “Rentista” and “Investor”.
- 2 – 5 years – for Permanent Residency (depending on the category).
After that, you need to renew it. And here we are to help you with it.
Contact us if your Residency is about to expire.
