Personal relocation guidance · I did it myself · Available in EN / FR / PL

Want to move to Costa Rica? I did it. I'll guide you through it.

I moved from Poland to Costa Rica permanently — bought a car, opened a bank account, bought a farm with a coffee plantation, and built a life here from scratch. I know every step of the process. And I can walk you through it.

Kevin's story

I came on holiday. I never went back.

In 2020 I took my first trip to Costa Rica. I'd spent three months planning it because there was almost no reliable information online about the real Costa Rica — the local culture, the authentic regions, how things actually work. I figured it out alone, with a lot of trial and error.

From day one, I fell in love. I went back the next year. And after that second trip I made the decision: I wasn't going back to Poland.

I moved to the Puriscal region — a remote, authentically Costa Rican area between San José and the Pacific. I went through the entire process with the help of a local lawyer and trusted local contacts: I opened a bank account, bought a car, and eventually purchased a large farm — a finca — with fruit trees, a coffee plantation, and a guesthouse.

I now grow and roast my own coffee. I have cows, chickens, dogs. I play football on the field with my neighbours on Sundays. Some of them don't even have a car — they ride horses. It's the life I wanted, and I built it step by step.

The process is real, doable, and far less complicated than most people think — if you have the right guidance. That's what I offer.

What I can help you with

Every step I help you with is a step I've done myself — in French, Polish, or English, with a local lawyer and real contacts on the ground.

🏡

Finding and buying property

I know neighbours and locals who are selling land and properties at real prices — not tourist-inflated listings. Off-market opportunities you won't find on any website. I connect you with my trusted notary-lawyer for the legal side.

🏦

Opening a bank account

Costa Rican banks have specific requirements for foreigners. I know what documents you need, which banks are most accessible, and I can accompany you in person to make sure it goes smoothly.

🚗

Buying a car

I bought my own car here. I know the process, the paperwork, and the common traps. I can help you find a reliable vehicle at a fair price through local contacts — not a dealership selling to expats.

📋

Residency and legal process

I work with a trusted local lawyer who handles residency applications, property titles, and notarial work. I can refer you and help you navigate the administrative steps.

🌿

Finding the right region

Costa Rica is not just beach towns. I know the interior, the mountains, the valleys — areas where the cost of living is reasonable and the quality of life is extraordinary. I help you choose where to look based on what you actually want.

🤝

On-the-ground support

I'm here. I can meet you at the bank, visit properties with you, introduce you to local contacts, and be the person you call when something is unclear. You're not doing this alone.

Off-market land in Puriscal

Several of my neighbours are selling land in the Puriscal region at prices you won't find on any real estate website. Beautiful plots — some with views, some with water, some with forest — at genuinely fair local prices. If you're interested in buying land in Costa Rica, this is the kind of opportunity that only comes through personal contact.

Common questions about moving to Costa Rica

Can Europeans buy property in Costa Rica?

Yes. Costa Rica has some of the most foreigner-friendly property laws in Latin America. Foreigners have exactly the same property rights as Costa Rican citizens. You do not need residency to purchase land or a house.

Do I need a lawyer to buy land?

Yes — all property transactions require a notary-lawyer (notario). This is actually a protection for you. I work with a trusted local lawyer who handles this professionally. I can connect you directly.

Can I open a bank account as a foreigner?

Yes, but the process varies by bank. Some are more accessible to foreigners than others. I know which banks work best and what documentation you need. I can also accompany you to the appointment.

What does land cost in the Puriscal region?

Significantly less than beach areas or San José suburbs. Prices vary by plot size, access, and features — but you can find beautiful land with fruit trees, water, and views at prices that would surprise most Europeans. Contact me for current opportunities.

Is Costa Rica safe to live in?

Yes — it is consistently ranked as one of the safest countries in Latin America. There is no military. The Puriscal region where I live is extremely peaceful. My neighbours are farmers and horseback riders.

What language do I need?

Spanish helps but is not required to get started. I work in English, French, and Polish — and I speak Spanish fluently, so I can handle all local contacts, legal meetings, and bank visits on your behalf.
