After Bali, Costa Rica Is Offering Digital Nomad Visa For Remote Workers

Are you sick of doing the same job at home all the time? This is your time to relocate and spice up your life with some excitement. The next sought-after location is Costa Rica. Here’s why: the Caribbean area offers a visa programme for digital nomads. Since August 2021, there have been discussions about implementing the visa programme, but it is now officially in place. Excited to work in the land of nature with beautiful beaches and national parks. Let’s take a look at how you can apply for a digital nomad visa for Costa Rica. 

How You Can Qualify For The Visa Scheme

You will have to work for a non-Costa Rican firm that permits you to work from home. You must earn at least $3,000 (£2,500) a month in order to guarantee your place. To move with your family, you will need a minimum salary of $5,000 per year (£4,200). You must remember your health insurance. A good travel insurance policy should be able to cover your full stay in a foreign country.

In order to proceed, you must complete the form in Spanish. You might extend a year of working and living in Costa Rica for a second year if you meet the requirements. No income tax or import duty is required when you are working remotely in Costa Rica. In addition to these advantages, you may also bring in two vehicles.

How Much Time Will Take To Approve The Visa 

Local authorities may take up to two weeks to decide whether or not to accept or reject your application after you apply. 

When it comes to remote working, Costa Rica is well on its way to being the most popular destination. Hotels now offer shared workspaces and networking events for individuals to meet and greet. Remote employees now have a place to stay in residential colonies converted into work-from-home hubs. That’s why you should consider setting up your workspace in Costa Rica if you want to work from home.
