Costa Rica Residency for Parents

Are you the parent of a Costa Rican citizen?

If you are the child of a Costa Rican citizen, you may have the opportunity to apply for residency in the category of “child of a Costa Rican father” in Costa Rica. In order to do so, it is essential that your Costa Rican father's name appears on your birth certificate, which must be duly registered in the Civil Registry. In addition, if you have siblings under 25 years of age who do not have Costa Rican nationality, they may also be considered for residency as dependents. If you were born outside of Costa Rica and are the child of a Costa Rican, you have the option to apply for naturalization.
