The Costa Rica rentier and pensioner visa provides a
three-year resident permit to approved applicants. There is a
minimum presence requirement of four months of the year to
maintain your status and qualify for permanent residency.
Both paths are slightly different in what is considered an
eligible source of income.
In both cases, the spouse and dependents 25 years old and
under will qualify as dependents. Older children with a
disability also qualify, regardless of age. You will also need to
present a police clearance certificate from the place where
you have resided in the last three years.
