Costa Rica Rentista / Digital Nomad (Stay in Costa Rica) Visa: Renewal
What renewing the Costa Rica Rentista / Digital Nomad (Stay in Costa Rica) Visa involves, and where it leads long-term.
The Digital Nomad visa is valid for an initial 12 months, renewable once for a total of 2 years — after that, it does not lead to permanent residency, and you'd need to switch to a different category (Pensionado, Rentista, or an investor route) for a longer stay. Renewal requires meeting the same income threshold again plus a minimum physical-presence requirement during the first year — sources disagree on the exact figure (some cite 80 days, others 180), so confirm the current specific number directly rather than trust either figure blindly.
