For those who are or are considering moving abroad to Costa Rica with aspirations of working during their stay will require a temporary work visa to secure your legitimacy as a business person in Costa Rica. By virtue of obtaining a temporary work permit, you will be granted temporary residency as well, in most cases.
Typically, when you obtain your work visa it will be valid for six months from the date of issue. Work permits are renewable. Work permits are submitted at the department of immigration and must be approved by the work department as well.
To apply, you must be able to provide several validation documents. These items are submitted to the Department of Temporary Permits and Extensions at the General Directorate of Migration. You must provide the legal constitution and registration documents of the company that will be employing you. Upon submission, your application must be accompanied by a statement from the company that you will be working for. The Costa Rican Social Security Institution will need to send verification that you have no outstanding financial obligations.
Other necessary items:
a copy of your birth certificate
photocopies of your passport
your marriage certificate (if married)
proof of adaquate financial resources
a statement of good conduct from the police
