We handle the paperwork. You enjoy Costa Rica.
Administrative and concierge services for foreigners living, investing, and doing business in Costa Rica.
Moving to Costa Rica shouldn't feel overwhelming.
Paperwork in a language you are still learning. Offices that close at noon. Requirements that change depending on who you ask. Processes that take three visits when they should take one.
We help expats, investors, retirees, and business owners handle paperwork, processes, and logistics — without confusion, delays, or stress.
Local knowledge. Your language. Your side of the table.
Expat Services CR exists because foreigners in Costa Rica keep getting stuck between two bad options. Law firms charge legal rates for administrative work that does not need a lawyer. Informal gestores are cheaper, but they disappear when something goes wrong and rarely speak your language.
We are the professional alternative in between. We handle the administrative side of living, investing, and doing business here, with the accountability of a registered company and the closeness of someone who actually picks up the phone.
The professional alternative between the expensive lawyer and the informal gestor.
