A digital nomad visa is coming to Costa Rica.
It will differ from the standard tourist visa in that it allows holders to create a bank account in Costa Rica and engage in long-term rental agreements.
The digital nomad visa is valid for one year at a time, but can be extended by an additional year once, as long as the holder has spent at least 180 days in the country during their first year of holding the visa.
To qualify for the visa, an applicant must prove a minimum stable income of US$3 000 (R51 400) per month, while families need to show proof of receiving at least US$4 000 (R68 500) per month in Costa Rica.
