The company defines your working hours during the internship. Usually, the internships in Costa Rica are full-time positions. The decision, whether to pay a remuneration or not, is also up to the company. Please remember that internships in Costa Rica are usually unpaid work experiences. Due to economic and social reasons in the country, it is often not possible to pay a salary to interns. However, some companies reward outstanding performances with non-monetary benefits, such as food vouchers, transportation expenses, excursions, etc.
