Zona Franca

Costa Rica has a Specialized Law for the implementation of free trade zones and for the regulation of business activities development under the modality of special customs zones.

We have a population with over 94% literacy rate, and a significant segment of the population is bilingual, which is why our country is at an educational and training level similar to many developed countries, placing us at the forefront in the Central American region and part of Latin America in investment in corporate services, outsourcing, high-tech manufacturing, and pharmaceutical and medical products, among others.

Costa Rica abolished the army since the mid-20th century and has dedicated the budget that countries usually use for defense to educational investment, resulting in a highly educated population and highly qualified workforce in the region at a very reasonable cost.

We are one of the few politically neutral countries in the world, with a high degree of pacifism and a very high level of political, economic, and social stability and worldwide fame, elements that converge as stimuli to provoke foreign investment and the creation of high-value productive linkages.

With a robust free trade zone system, foreign investment attraction has been stimulated, achieving and even surpassing the objectives set by the State regarding the production of goods and services for the world from Costa Rica.

Our foreign investment department is highly trained to advise you both in the process of establishing and building free trade zones, as well as in the installation of companies under these special customs regimes, as well as in the provision of legal and business services required by the operating company.
