  • What We Do

Pura Vida Consultants provides strategic consulting, planning, and coordination support for international clients pursuing relocation, investment, and business initiatives in Costa Rica.

  • Provide strategic guidance to help clients understand options, processes, and timelines
  • Help clients plan and organize relocation, investment, and business activities
  • Coordinate with and introduce clients to vetted independent professionals such as attorneys, accountants, real estate professionals, and other service providers
  • Offer local insight and practical context to help clients make informed decisions
  • Support clients through ongoing advisory and coordination as their needs evolve

Our role is to simplify complexity, reduce uncertainty, and help clients move forward with clarity and confidence.

  • What We Don’t Do

To be clear and transparent, Pura Vida Consultants does not:

  • Provide legal, immigration, tax, financial, or accounting advice
  • Act as an immigration firm, law firm, real estate brokerage, or investment advisor
  • Prepare or file legal or immigration applications on behalf of clients
  • Represent clients before government authorities
  • Handle client funds, investments, or transactions
  • Guarantee outcomes related to visas, residency approvals, investments, or business results

All regulated, licensed, or legally required services are provided by independent third-party professionals, engaged directly by the client.

Our Approach

We act as a trusted guide and coordinator, not a substitute for licensed professionals. When appropriate, we:

  • Help clients identify the right professionals for their needs
  • Coordinate communication and process flow
  • Ensure clients understand next steps, responsibilities, and expectations

This collaborative approach allows clients to benefit from qualified professionals while having a single point of strategic support throughout their journey.

Your Responsibility

Clients remain responsible for:

  • Selecting and engaging licensed professionals
  • Making final decisions related to relocation, investment, and business matters
  • Ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations

We strongly encourage clients to seek advice from appropriately licensed professionals before making decisions.
