Hello!
There are only 3 ways that I know of that you can legally work in Costa Rica:
1) investor status residency - takes some time and effort, and you must invest something like $200,000, hire Ticos, apply, etc. It doesn't cover the family.
2) permanent residency - you cannot get this immediately. First you have to be a temporary resident for a while. OR you can have a child in CR, and get it that way. Obviously, this also takes time.
3) get a work visa - The only way I have heard of people getting this is through a company outside of CR. You work for a company, they sponsor your move to CR, they provide your job. Your family can legally live in CR under your work visa, but they cannot work (only the one). I don't know anyone who got a work visa while in CR, only before coming to CR.
