How To Get Started With Social Security In Costa Rica: Immigration Series

Hello, friends! I’m Xu from Quatro, and I’m thrilled to bring you another post as part of our immigration series. Today, we’re going to chat about how you can start using your social security in Costa Rica. Whether you’re looking at temporary or permanent residency, social security is something you’ll need to handle, and we’re here to help you navigate it smoothly!

Understanding the Basics of Costa Rica Social Security

First things first: Social security in Costa Rica is a requirement for both temporary and permanent residencies. It can seem like a lot at first, but it’s all about getting started. Once you’re registered in the social security fund, also known as CAJA, the main applicant will receive an email with a link. This link is your gateway to the CAJA Virtual Office. Through this online portal, you can make payments, check your monthly balance, and handle more practical details.

Accessing Your Benefits

Now, here’s where it gets exciting! There’s an app called EDUS that both main applicants and their dependents can use. By downloading EDUS from the Play Store, you’ll gain access to your medical file and can even schedule appointments with specialists. It’s a great tool that really helps in making the most out of your social security benefits.
