Remote work has been a trend for so long. Haven't you ever dreamed of typing away at your keyboard while gazing at volcanic clouds, vast oceans, or listening to the songs of rainforest birds? Well, today, that dream can become reality—Globevisa officially introduces the Costa Rica Digital Nomad Program!
As the first immigration company in China to launch this program, Globevisa brings this “little Switzerland of Central America” right to your fingertips. Now, embracing nature while managing your daily life isn’t just an idea—it’s within reach.
Why Costa Rica? Globevisa's Picked "Hidden Gem" for You.
To many, Costa Rica might still seem like a relatively unfamiliar destination, but in Globevisa's global database, this small Central American nation has long been marked as a "Digital Nomad's Paradise."
It was the first country in the world to abolish its military, redirecting its entire defense budget into education and healthcare — resulting in a 97% literacy rate, an average life expectancy of 81 years (surpassing many Western nations), and a healthcare system ranked first in Latin America by the WHO. This makes Costa Rica a place of both safety and high quality of life.
It is also an "ecological wonder," with 26% of its land designated as national parks. In a single day, you can journey from tropical rainforests to volcanic lakes, and from the white-sand beaches of the Caribbean to the Pacific’s world-class surf breaks. The United Nations has recognized the country for “safeguarding 5% of the world’s biodiversity within just 2% of its global land area.”
What’s more, Costa Rica enjoys social stability, a high level of English proficiency, and consistently ranks as the most foreigner-friendly country in Latin America. It’s even regarded as a “retirement backyard” for American seniors.

For digital nomads, however, these are just the "basic configuration". After in-depth research and multi-dimensional evaluation, the Globevisa team is proud to officially launch the Costa Rica Digital Nomad Program. Not only is Costa Rica one of the safest and most stable countries in Latin America, but it also perfectly meets the needs of global remote professionals with three core advantages: tax exemption on foreign-earned income, hassle-free family accompaniment, and low application requirements.
Globevisa Premiere: Who Is Eligible? How Friendly Are the Requirements?
Unlike some countries that impose strict restrictions on occupation and academic background, Costa Rica's policy is truly "friendly to all":
● Eligible Applicants: All remote workers are welcome, including social media content creators/influencers, remote programmers, online tutors, e-commerce practitioners, translators, graphic designers, engineering and technical experts, accountants, and freelancers. There are no restrictions on academic background or industry.
● Income Requirement: For a single applicant, the after-tax monthly income must be at least $3,000. For applicants bringing their spouse, children under 25, or financially dependent parents, the after-tax monthly income must reach $4,000.
● Required Documents: Applicants only need to prepare personal documents such as a passport, a certificate of no criminal record, and a remote work certificate. Language proficiency certificates and proof of savings are not required.
How Attractive Are the Benefits? Globevisa Highlights the Key Points:
● Long-Term Residency + Flexible Renewal
Approved applicants can stay for 1 year initially. Upon expiration, as long as the requirements of "accumulated residence of 180 days" and "meeting the income standard" are met, the visa can be renewed for another year, allowing a total of 2 years of legal residency. During this period, you can travel in and out freely without being tied to an employer.
● Full Exemption on Overseas Income
All overseas income (including salary, royalties, investment returns, etc.) earned while staying in Costa Rica is exempt from local income tax.
● Shared Freedom for the Whole Family
The policy allows applicants to include their spouse, children under 25, and financially dependent parents in the application. This makes it possible to "balance work and family" and "accompany parents in their retirement while exploring the world" at the same time.
● Dual Protection for Healthcare and Daily Life
Visa holders can purchase medical insurance that covers the entire country and enjoy medical services on par with local residents.
