Everything you Need to Know, without Wasting Time
Welcome to our news and insights section – a space created for those who want clarity, not chaos. We know how overwhelming the internet can be, especially when it comes to topics like moving to or living in Costa Rica.
Between clickbait titles, outdated advice, and countless articles written by people who have never even been here, it’s hard to know what to trust.
That’s why this section exists. Here, you’ll find only well-researched, up-to-date information written with common sense, logic, and local perspective.
Whether you’re a traveler, an investor, a digital nomad, or someone seriously considering relocating, we offer the kind of content that actually helps.
We cover a wide range of topics:
- The reality of everyday life in Costa Rica
- Practical relocation advice
- Cost of living breakdowns
- Legal and administrative changes (like DIMEX renewal, banking regulations, visa laws)
- Infrastructure, real estate and investment opportunities
- Comparisons with other countries (from taxes to lifestyle)
- Honest reviews and insights from locals and long-term residents
Everything you read here is written manually, based on direct experience, current data, and solid documentation. No automation, no generic AI-generated content, and definitely no filler. Just real information, written with care.
We don’t chase clicks. We don’t use panic, drama, or fake urgency. Our goal is to create a useful resource for people who want to understand how Costa Rica actually works – socially, legally, economically and culturally.
New articles are published regularly, but not just for the sake of it. We prefer quality over quantity. If a topic deserves research, we take the time to do it properly.
You’ll notice this in the tone as well: casual, sometimes ironic, but always respectful of the facts.
Most of our content is in English (with other languages coming soon), and we’re working on expanding the database with dedicated guides, in-depth provincial and cantonal profiles, and thematic series that touch on the key aspects of relocating, investing or adapting to life here.
So, whether you’re still dreaming, actively planning, or already living in Costa Rica, feel free to explore, read, and share. And if you have a topic you’d like us to cover or a correction to suggest, we’re open. This section is for real people, not algorithms.
