Costa Rica's Digital Nomad Visa.

For remote workers dreaming of trading the office for tropical landscapes, Costa Rica offers an attractive long-stay option. Its digital nomad programme allows eligible remote workers to live in the country while continuing to work for employers or clients outside Costa Rica. The initial stay can extend to one year, with the possibility of renewal for another year if the requirements are met. The programme was designed to attract international remote workers and comes with benefits such as exemptions from Costa Rican income tax on qualifying foreign-earned income. Applicants must meet specific financial, insurance and documentation requirements, however, so the programme is not simply a one-year tourist visa. With its beaches, rainforests, volcanoes and strong outdoor culture, Costa Rica has become an appealing destination for people looking to combine remote work with a slower, nature-focused lifestyle. 🌴
