Gaining Residency in Costa Rica by Buying a House?
Sorry, you won't be granted the Costa Rican resident status along with your pr
operty title deed. However, if you get your piece of this paradise by investing at least $200,000 in real estate, you can start calling Costa Rica home by applying for and eventually gaining residency in the country.
This is possible due to changes in the Costa Rican Migration law which, for the last five years, has allowed new homeowners to gain residency in the country. Under this law, real estate investors wishing to relocate to Costa Rica can file their residency application under the "inversionista" (investor) status.
This would involve the purchase of a "registered asset" in Costa Rica such as a lot, a condominium or a home, and the real estate asset has to be worth a minimum of $200,000.
As with any other category of residency, the applicant will need to file a formal request for temporary residency. The application should include supporting official documents, such as registry or notarized certifications, true copies of purchase agreements or conveyance deeds, share ownership certifications, tax returns, municipal certification of property value and in general all documents which can provide evidence that the investment has been made by the applicant from his own resources and add up to the minimum investment amount. In the case of real estate owners, this is easy to show by attaching the purchase deed and a registry certificate showing who the newly titled owner is. You must of course meet basic conditions to apply for residency in Costa Rica (such as a clean criminal record).

Again in 2016, Costa Rica tops the list of the Happy Index Planet (
having previously ranked first in the
2009 and 2012 editions), by balancing the happiness of its inhabitants with Planet Earth's wellbeing.
"
People living in Costa Rica have higher wellbeing than the residents of many rich nations, including the
USA and the UK
, and live longer than people in the USA. And all of this is achieved with a per capita Ecological Footprint that's just one third of the size of the USA's."
HappyPlanetIndex.org.
The index's formula divides measures of wellbeing focusing on each country's ecological footprint, aiming at rewarding sustainability rather than production. Costa Rica is followed by Mexico and Colombia in this year's ranking.
The index is published by the New Economics Foundation in the UK, an organization dedicated to promoting social justice.
