No, you cannot directly apply or qualify for permanent residency after holding a Costa Rica Digital Nomad Visa, as it is only a temporary visa. The time spent in Costa Rica on a digital nomad visa does not count towards the PR requirements. You can, however, transition from a digital nomad visa through other residency categories, such as Pensionado (retiree) or Rentista (income earner), once your digital nomad visa ends, provided you meet the financial requirements and other criteria.
