How can someone become a citizen in Costa Rica?

Answer 1

To become a citizen of Costa Rica, an individual typically needs to reside in the country for a minimum of seven years as a legal resident, or for five years if they are a citizen of a Central American country, Spain, or a country with which Costa Rica has a special agreement. Applicants must demonstrate good moral character, financial stability, and knowledge of Spanish and Costa Rican history. The process involves submitting various documents to the Costa Rican Immigration authorities and may require an interview. Once approved, individuals must take an oath of allegiance to Costa Rica.
