IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the update? Costa Rica is experiencing processing delays of up to three months for immigration-related services. Authorities are also more strictly scrutinizing work permit applications.
The specifics:
Background: Last September, a nationwide strike closed immigration offices in Costa Rica and caused immigration processing delays that persist today. Recognized companies, which typically have shorter processing times for permit approval, are especially impacted by the delays and the greater scrutiny when applying for work permits.
Analysis & Comments: Companies should account for the processing delays when submitting immigration applications and prepare for increased scrutiny when submitting work permit applications for foreign executives. Authorities will deny the work permit application if the applicant does not meet the appropriate education and experience qualifications.
