Live a Nomadic experience in Costa Rica

A new law will allow tourists who can work remotely to do it in Costa Rica. Law 10.008 known as the “Digital Nomads Law” was approved last August and establishes the entry and stay conditions for foreign professionals.
People who wish to telecommute from Costa Rica can do so through a one-year work visa, extendable for another year. The visa would also cover the families and partners of the remote worker. Also, your driver’s license is valid for as long as you are allowed to work from Costa Rica.
Currently, the legal permanence of a tourist in the country cannot be extended for more than ninety days, according to the provisions of Migration. In addition, digital nomads arriving in Costa Rica will be able to benefit from a single tax rate.
One of the greatest advantages of working remotely is the flexibility of schedules and the freedom of location. An inspired worker reaches his goals more easily. On the other hand, being able to save time and travel costs allows the worker to better reconcile family, social and leisure life. What better destination than Costa Rica to enjoy the beach, nature, sports and wildlife? Besides,  San Jose offers a North American-friendly time zone and the weather is always good!

Costa Kite offers rooms with Wi-Fi as well as internet connection in the common areas to combine teleworking with your passion: kitesurfing.

Pura Vida, closer than you thought and easier than you imagined!

Why learn kitesurf in Bahia Salinas?

Why learn kitesurf in Bahia Salinas?

Bahia Salinas is on the north pacific side of Costa Rica and the conditions to learn kitesurf are just perfect!! Here we are going to enumerate the most important ones:

1.- Windy everyday: From end of October to end of April it is windy every single day! and during the whole day! Making it perfect for practicing kitesurfing.

2.- The wind direction is side-on: which means that the winds blows around 45º angle towards the land. This is the safest and most comfortable wind to learn kitesurf.

3.- Unknown spot: Playa Copal in Bahia Salinas is a spot that not many travellers know about. That means you will not find crowds of people kiting on the ocean at the same time. Normally we have 10-15 kiters. This makes it very safe since the chances of crashing your kite with other people are almost 0.

4.- No waves: Since we are on a small bay there are no waves. Just in february when the wind gets stronger we get about 30 inch waves, which is nothing!! The rest of the season is flat and calm!! This will make your learning process a lot easier and faster.

5.- Warm water: Forget about wetsuits!! The water temperature in Bahia Salinas is so warm that you will not need it at all. It is around 22º-24ºC.

6.- Wild life: It will be hard to find the wild life you find in Costa Rica at any other kite spot: Sea turtles, dolphins, whales, Pelicans, Flamingos…
