Which residency visa is best for me in Costa Rica?
It depends on your passive income, savings, employer, age, and whether you want a fast path to permanent residency or citizenship. An Arriva-verified immigration lawyer will map your situation to the current visa categories in a first consultation.
How long does residency take in Costa Rica?
Most straightforward residency applications take 3–9 months from first filing to receiving the physical card, though wait times shift with each government. Your lawyer will give you a realistic timeline for your specific visa category.
Do I need to be in Costa Rica to start the process?
