How can I become a citizen of Costa Rica?

How long does it take to become a resident in Costa Rica?

  • I am an American citizen and my fiance is Costarican. We are getting married next year and would like to remain in Costa Rica. After our marriage how long would it take me to become a resident? What are all the requierments? I would also appreciate any links. Thank You. Pura Vida!

  • Answer:

    You can start the process to become a resident as soon as you get married. You will need a birth certificate, your marriage certificate. The process is fast. A good public notary will help you with the process. You can find more information at the closest Costa Rica consultate to your home.

I am pretty sure you have to be married for two years before you start the process. Before you come here you need to get an original birth cetrificate stamped by the Secretary of State of the res[ective state. Also it needs to be stamped by the Costa Rican Consul closest to you state of birth. Search Costa Rican Embassy in US. That will give you more info. Good luck and Congrats
