By San José, Costa Rica — Saúl Solano, a student from the International Christian School (ICS) in Costa Rica, has achieved international acclaim, placing in the top 15 of the prestigious Puente Chino (Chinese Bridge) competition held in Tianjin, China.
This global competition brought together 120 talented students from around the world, each demonstrating their proficiency in Mandarin Chinese. Solano’s remarkable performance earned him not only a spot among the global top 15 but also the distinguished title of second place within the Americas.
To gain a deeper understanding of the legal and business implications surrounding the experiences of Costa Rican students, TicosLand.com spoke with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, an attorney at law from Bufete de Costa Rica.
Navigating the legal landscape for students in Costa Rica often presents unique challenges, particularly when it comes to employment and visa regulations. Students seeking part-time work must ensure they comply with immigration laws, which can be complex and vary depending on their nationality and study program. Furthermore, understanding contract law and worker protections is crucial for protecting their rights. For foreign students, having legal counsel to guide them through these processes is highly recommended.
