Corporate Immigration Regulation

Arista Legal understands the legal immigration needs that companies establishing themselves in Costa Rica must address. Our services focus on updating and legalizing the immigration status of business leaders, executives, and foreign staff, ensuring compliance with current regulations and facilitating their operations in the country.

Corporate Immigration Updates

The General Directorate of Migration and Foreigners Affairs regulates the registration of companies requiring a migratory flow of active collaborators or executives, benefiting from special regimes and reduced deadlines for processing temporary residence applications.

Company Registration Categories:

1. First: Companies under a special export promotion regime.
2. Second: Companies exporting outside special regimes, including research and development.
3. Third: Companies in the tourism sector.
4. Fourth: Companies in the financial sector.
5. Fifth: Companies in the process of installation or operation in telecommunications.
6. Sixth: Multinational corporations with branches in Costa Rica.
7. Seventh: National or foreign companies awarded public contracts.

Arista Legal advises on all migratory aspects of companies, from initial procedures to updating the status of personnel and executives.
