What is a legal resident of Costa Rica?
A legal resident is a person who possesses a valid cedula or carnet issued by the government of Costa Rica. If your residency application is in process, you are NOT a legal resident and cannot purchase a cellular telephone number (line). Remember, for folks moving here and renting for six months or longer, the phone is YOURS at the end of the rental term. For our long term rentals (six months or longer), the phone will be brand new.
