Zoom backgrounds: Work from Costa Rica

Working from Costa Rica has many benefits, ranging from income tax excemptions to ease of local banking accounts and other investment incentives.  However, not everyone is traveling to Costa Rica for work or investing in Costa Rica real estate (which we’d love to help with), so we have another option: add a Costa Rica background and show off your work-from-abroad style with these Costa Rica virtual backgrounds for your Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex meetings.
You’ll enjoy these Costa Rica virtual backgrounds, a selected list from the NATIVU real estate team of local experts.  They represent some of Costa Rica’s wonderful locations and add style for your meetings.  This could be the start of your next Costa Rica trip!  And, if you want to know more about the location, simply follow the QR code on the image’s top left corner.
It will take you to the NATIVU page with more information about the property or area.
