No, I didn't have to do that. I had to pay lots of other fees for random things like "change of residency" was $200. And evidently to pick up my cedula (if I ever get it) is another $100. But, when you enter CR you need proof of onward travel. Basically a one-way ticket out of the country. If you don't have one, they make you buy one.
I'm not sure the different types of residency up there, but here you either need to be retired, married to a national or have a job sponsor you. I'm doing the 3rd option and it's definitely this awful catch 22. In order to work legally, you need temporary residency. In order to apply for temporary residency, you need a job. And residency takes at least 5 months and up to 5 years to process.
