CRIE Service Terms
Clear guidelines on what CRIE — Costa Rica Immigration Experts — provides and what remains the client’s responsibility.
📄About Our Services
CRIE — Costa Rica Immigration Experts — provides immigration and residency assistance for individuals and families relocating to Costa Rica. Our focus is helping you navigate the residency process, ensuring documentation is properly prepared, and guiding you through each requirement established by Costa Rica’s immigration authorities.
⚖️What CRIE Handles
We specialize exclusively in residency and immigration services. While CRIE does not handle unrelated services such as tax filings, shipping or moving logistics, customs processes, or business setup, we can assist with financial services or real estate transactions through our affiliated companies under Grupo Gap.
🤝Client Responsibilities
Government fees, consular charges, apostilles, authentications, translations, and document issuance costs are paid directly by the client. CRIE service fees do not include these third-party expenses unless explicitly stated in writing.
✅What CRIE Provides
Our support includes administrative assistance, document review, coordination with our immigration expert, guidance on required paperwork, and preparation of your residency submission in accordance with the standards of the Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería (DGME).
⚠️Important Notes
All immigration approvals, processing times, and timelines are determined solely by DGME. These may vary based on government workload, regulation changes, documentation issues, and other factors beyond CRIE’s control.
