Hello,
I plan to move to CR in the spring of 2007. My son lives there and I will not be returning to the US. My income is secured by Social Security and is above the requirement amount. I’ve read here and there that I have to start the process of application in the US. Is this true or can I apply in Costa Rica? Thank you for any input.You must start the process before you leave. First you should gather all your documents, have them certified and then authenticated by the Secretary of State, then they have to go to the CR Consulate in the district in which you live. Then you have to fill out the application, and all of these documents must then be translated into Spanish and stamped by the CR consulate. Unless you are really savvy about navigating through Costa Rican bureaucracy, I’d engage the help of someone who does this for a living to make you you’ve gotten everything you need. I used Javier at http://www.residencyincostarica.com. At least 7 of my friends used his services as well and we’re all very happy we did.
