Information only

Costa Rica Legal Guide publishes general information about property, residency and immigration in Costa Rica. It is not legal, tax or financial advice, and it may be incomplete or out of date. Laws and procedures change. Always confirm with a licensed attorney before you act.

We are not a law firm

This website and its publisher are not a law firm and are not lawyers. Reading this site, using its tools or sending a request does not create a lawyer-client relationship with the publisher.

Independent law firms

We plan to connect visitors with independent law firms. We will ask for your permission before passing your details to any firm. Any lawyer-client relationship exists only between you and that firm. We do not control the firm's advice, fees or results, and we do not guarantee any outcome.

Estimates and tools

The closing cost calculator and the residency quiz give rough orientation only. Figures may be outdated or may not fit your case. Ask a lawyer for an exact quote and assessment.

No government affiliation

This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to any Costa Rican government body, including the immigration authority and the National Registry.
