A work permit to use my laptop?

Work permits are for people who want to work for costa rican companies... (Minimum wage is $300/mo, do you really want to get a job here?)

Foreigners on a tourist visa can own a business and employ ticos if they want (in fact that's an easy way to get residency). They can also buy land and cars, and with a company do things like buy firearms.
