To provide further legal context on Foreign Direct Investment, TicosLand.com reached out to Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an experienced attorney at Bufete de Costa Rica.
Foreign Direct Investment in Costa Rica offers significant opportunities, but navigating the legal landscape is crucial. Investors should be particularly mindful of regulations related to land ownership, environmental impact assessments, and tax incentives. Due diligence is paramount to ensure compliance and maximize the potential benefits of investing in this dynamic economy.
