Expat Services CR

Services

Everything foreigners need handled in Costa Rica.

Some processes here are simple once you know where to go. Others are genuinely complicated, and one wrong detail costs you months. We handle both, and we tell you upfront which one you are dealing with.

Asset Registration Review

You already bought. We verify the Registry, the municipality, Hacienda, and the utilities, then hand you a written report.

How we price

No hourly rates. You know the number before we start.

A written quote

Before any work begins you receive the full breakdown: what we will do, what the government charges, what we charge, and how long it should take.

Government fees are separate

Official fees, stamps, and certified translations are passed through at cost, with the receipt attached. We do not mark them up.

If it changes, you decide

If an institution adds a requirement mid-process, we stop, tell you what it costs, and wait for your go-ahead. No surprise invoices.

Not sure which service you need?

Most clients are not, and that is fine. Tell us your situation and we will point you to the right process, or tell you plainly that you do not need one.
