Testimonials

You are the core of our business

Michael Simons
Having been involved in Real Estate for the last 8 years here in Costa Rica, I have seen dozens of cases where clients of mine have attempted to obtain their Residency with a local Costa Rican attorney, only to waste time and money with no results. The Immigration offices of Costa Rica can be one of the most difficult experiences you can imagine. That is why it is imperative to have an expert working on your behalf. Having worked with Marcela Gurdian on my own Residency, I can attest to the fact that she is absolutely the BEST Residency and Immigration attorney in this country.

Marcela Gurdiân, President of Immigration Experts S.A. and her staff are a pleasure to work with. They were able to facilitate the rather complicated Residency process for us and guide us through from start to finish.
