Every project starts with a conversation and a quote — nothing is charged until you know exactly what's involved. Below is what each service actually covers.
Everything involved in getting your legal and personal footing in Costa Rica.
Costa Rica has several residency categories — rentista, pensionado, investor, and more — each with different requirements. I help you figure out which one actually fits your situation, then manage the application process from paperwork to submission.
Costa Rican banks can be particular about what they require from foreign applicants, and requirements vary by bank. I help you prepare the right documentation and get the account open without repeat trips or rejected applications.
Getting a Costa Rican driver's license as a foreigner — whether that's a straightforward conversion of your existing license or the full local process, along with the appointments and documentation it requires.
Official processes often require documents translated between English and Spanish. I coordinate accurate translation for exactly the documents your specific process requires.
For clients buying land or property, or building on it.
Planning to buy property in Costa Rica? I help you navigate the local processes and coordinate the services you need before and after your purchase — think of it as having a trusted local person on the ground to manage the legwork and connect you with the right professionals.
Especially valuable if you're building new or renovating an older property. I coordinate the permits, professionals, and paperwork involved so the project moves forward without stalling on the local process.
Keeping vehicles, vessels, and property running once you're here.
Whether you're importing a vehicle or buying locally, I help navigate registration ("marchamo"), inspections (RTV), and the paperwork involved in getting a vehicle legally on the road in your name or your company's.
Registration and ownership transfer for boats and vessels, including importation of foreign vessels, required permits, and coordination with maritime authorities, marinas, and brokers.
Getting a property's essentials up and running — especially useful right after a purchase.
Setting up and maintaining a Costa Rican business or holding structure.
Many foreigners hold Costa Rican assets — like property or vehicles — under a locally registered company (a "sociedad anónima") rather than in their own name. I help set up a company for exactly this purpose, structured for what you plan to use it for.
I connect you with the right Costa Rican professionals and coordinate the process — I'm not a tax professional myself, but I make sure the right people are in place and deadlines aren't missed.
