How Landed Costa Rica works
You tell us about your move. We tell you what you need and when, and introduce you to local providers. They pay us. You don't.
What you do
You answer five short sections of questions: who is moving, when and where, how you will support yourself, which kinds of help you want, and how to reach you. It takes about five minutes and rough answers are fine.
What you get
- A first read on which residency options may fit your income and plans.
- A timeline showing when to bring in each specialist, worked back from your move date.
- Introductions to up to 3 local providers for each service you chose, sent when that step is coming up and not all at once.
You decide who to hire. You can also hire nobody, and that costs you nothing.
How we make money
Providers pay us when we introduce them to someone who asked for their kind of service. We don't charge you, and we don't add anything to what a provider charges you.
Because providers pay us, we are not a neutral reviewer. What we can promise is that payment alone does not get a provider onto our list, and that we remove providers when people we introduced report a bad experience.
What we check before introducing a provider
- They hold the licence or registration their work requires in Costa Rica.
- They have worked with foreign clients before and can give references.
- They quote prices in writing before starting work.
- They can work with you in English.
These checks reduce risk but don't remove it. Read any agreement before you sign it, and ask the provider for their own references.
What happens to your information
Your answers go to us, and to the providers we introduce you to for the services you chose. Nothing is shared until you tick the box agreeing to it at the end of the form. Providers call or text you only if you ticked the second box allowing that.
You can ask us to stop introductions or delete your information at any time through the contact page. The privacy policy has the detail.
What we are not
We are not a law firm, and our guides are not legal advice. Residency rules change and officials apply them differently, so an attorney should confirm anything you plan to rely on.
