Graduates in Costa Rica can explore post-study work visa options, primarily through the Residencia por Estudiante transition. After completing studies, students may apply for a temporary residency visa for work purposes, valid for one year and renewable.
Requirements include a job offer from a Costa Rican employer, proof of financial stability, and a clean criminal record. The employer often assists with the application process. Alternatively, graduates can switch to a Rentista visa if they demonstrate stable income. Consulting Costa Rica’s immigration authority (Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería) ensures updated regulations compliance.
