Yes, you can choose to have the property title in your personal name or in the name of a corporation—this decision depends on your preferences and goals.
While holding the title personally is possible, many investors opt to use a corporation to hold property in Costa Rica. This option is common and simple to set up, providing benefits such as asset protection and owner anonymity. To form a corporation, you’ll need a valid passport for three representatives (president, vice president, and treasurer—who can all be foreigners). The cost for establishing a corporation typically ranges from $600 to $1,500.
