Costa Rica Concierge Clients
It was an ultimate pleasure working with StartAboard, from start to finish they took care of every minor detail. Their service took loads of pressure off my hands as you can imagine all the small details and variables you have to consider when moving to a different country.
I would highly recommend StartAboard if you are looking to relocate.
Reggie W.
Costa Rica Concierge Client
Moving from Toronto to Costa Rica [was] challenging but ultimately very much worth it so far. One of the obstacles was how to bring our large dog Ruby, down to CR. I was referred to StartAbroad …Many options were outrageously expensive so we decided to let the pros figure out a way that was affordable.
[StartAbroad] was able to get Ruby down at a fraction of the cost with constant follow ups and updates. We highly recommend StartAbroad for all your pet transport needs.

Can you put me in touch with a specialist?
Yes. While StartAbroad’s services are designed to be your one-stop-shop, if you would like to speak with a shipping specialist, medical provider, tax professional, or attorney that can manage your Inversionista, Rentista, or Pensionado visa, please send us an email at [email protected], and we can put you in touch with a vetted service
Your bundles aren't exactly what I'm looking for. Can I create a custom bundle?
Yes. Clients realize savings when they book two or more services via our bundled approach. While we do have standard bundles — including our Concierge Relocation Support and Digital Nomad Bundle — which meet many of our clients’ needs, if those bundles do not cover the type of support you are looking for, we will work with you to create a bundle of support services tailored specifically to you.
I just need to speak with an expert. Do you offer consultation calls?
Yes. We offer free 15-minute consultation calls. If you would like to spend more time on a call with an international relocation specialist, we offer coaching calls for 30 or 60 minutes.
