Introducing Our New Article Archive and Index

Buying property, managing a company, sorting out taxes—life in Costa Rica gives you plenty of reasons to go looking for answers. Finding the right article should be the easy part.

That is exactly the kind of hunt our new Article Archive & Index is designed to make easier.

We have brought more than two decades of Costa Rica Expertise articles together in one searchable reference. Whether you have followed the publication for years or just found us, there is plenty to explore.

A special thank-you goes to Jay Brodell of AMCostaRica.com, who got us started in writing, and to attorney Allan Garro for contributing to articles over the years. Looking back through this collection is also a reminder of how much their support and contributions have meant.

A few words can get you started

Type a keyword—property, banking, payroll, or a subject on your mind—or browse by subject, publication, and year. The index connects you with articles on our main website and in the historical collection.

You might arrive looking for help with a company question and discover a property issue worth checking. Or find a story you remember and see how much has changed since it appeared.

Costa Rica has supplied no shortage of material over the years. Paperwork alone could keep a writer employed.

One caution belongs beside every trip into the past: check the date. Older articles preserve the circumstances of their time; laws, fees, and procedures may have changed. Confirm current requirements before acting on legal or tax information.

Go ahead—try a subject that interests you and see what turns up.
