    Oh Man, do you have a lot to get up to speed on!

    Yes, people are applying for residency everyday, and there are hundreds of posts on this forum about everyone’s trials and tribulations and frustrations (and successes) in the process. Maybe it should be as easy as “what kind of form?” but the truth is that your embassy is one of the very last in a long agonizing process in the application for residency.

    Others are much more astute in detailing the steps, so I’ll leave that to them – but before they can even start you must let us know
    (1) which country are you now a citizen of?
    (2) are you presently residing in that country or in CR?
    (3) what type of temporary residency are you trying to secure?

    and finally, (4) how much patience do you have?

    If the answer to #4 is not “great” or “extensive” or “exceptional”, then you will need to hire an attorney or an organization to assist you. If indeed you do feel that you have adequate patience to undertake the endeavor on your own, then I can assure you (based on the simplicity of your question) that your patience will be sorely tested in the process.

    CR Bill is right on all accounts. I did the next to the last task of going to the Embassy (USA) “registered” with them which included filling out a one page form, showing my valid passport and paying fifty dollars. Hoped this helped.

    Alexander69: I don’t understand why anyone would want to notify the US Embassy of their residency status in Costa Rica and on top of that pay them $50. I’m sure big brother already knows where you are.

    Because you will not get a cedula number until you do. And yes, big brother knows everything about you including where you are under the “homeland security act”……….

    Alexander69 is right on.

    Under the new law for residency, the CR immigration office will not accept your application for residency or issue a file number unless your submittal package is complete, and to be complete it must include the form from your embassy.

    I don’t know if the original idea for this requirement came from “big brother” or CR, but it is a definate requirement.

    Just one more?
    When you fill the “registration” form do they ask about your address in USA and about your address in CR?

    I don’t recall either being a question on the form. I don’t have an address in the States so I guess I would remember it if it were a problem, and of course there really are no real addresses here.

    As I recall, it is primarily a recordation of your passport number and signing a statement that you are seeking residency in a foreign country, being CR. It is a very simple, one page form that takes less than 2 minutes to complete.

    You seem quite concerned about this simple requirement, are you hiding out from an ex wife, the local sheriff or are you on the witness protection program?

    I am not hiding from anything or anyone I just want to know what is ahead and how much info they collect on each of us.
    The next ? is – do they ask you in the Registration form to indicate what type of residency you will be applying for?
    Thank you for all your input, even jocks are fine.
