Welcome to the Expat Costa Rica Chapter!
¡Hola! and a warm welcome to InterNations Costa Rica! Our network for expats in Costa Rica is tailored to your particular needs and helps you with moving to and settling in Costa Rica. Relocating overseas to a foreign country is adventurous and also challenging now and then. For expatriates Costa Rica a lot of questions come up such as: ʺHow good is the health care system in Costa Rica and do I need special vaccinations?ʺ, ʺIn which district should we live when moving to Alajuela?ʺ or ʺHow about the overall safety in San José?ʺ And many more questions…
InterNations aims to support you, as an expatriate, in getting to know the Costa Rica expat community and discovering the Costa Rican way of life in all its facets, from having the traditional cassado to celebrating Meeting of Cultures Day.

Costa Rica Expat Guide
Embark on Costa Rica Expats Life
From Caribbean Costa Rica to its incredibly biodiverse rainforests, Costa Rica has much to offer to expatriates, tourists and travelers from all over the world. However, the growing expat Costa Rica community is mainly attracted by its economic challenges, e.g. in the agricultural sector, and the urban development in San José and Quesada. Expat living in Costa Rica surely can face a challenge once in a while, but at the same time it is a wonderful intercultural experience you will never forget.
