Is it possible to completely waive tax and financial reporting if all company activities are conducted outside Costa Rica?

According to local legislation, this is possible. However, we recommend keeping at least simplified reporting, as it may be required, for example, when opening a bank account. You can order the reporting preparation service from us if managing it yourself is inconvenient.

Is it available for companies registered in Costa Rica to open an account in a neobank?

Yes, there are no restrictions in this regard. You can choose either a traditional bank with offline offices or a neobank. They may also be located outside Costa Rica — there are no prohibitions in this respect.

If you want to complete the remote business registration procedure in Costa Rica quickly and successfully, leave a request. We will guide you through all the stages, prepare the registration application and all necessary documents considering all the nuances of local legislation. Without your presence, we will obtain confirmation of successful registration and send the apostilled documents directly to you by courier. Hundreds of successful cases and many grateful clients are the most convincing proof of our professionalism.
