    Has anyone else received notice from their bank in Costa Rica regarding compliance with the above law?

    Isn’t this Law 8204 just the equivalent of the KYC (Know Your Client) rules that we have in most developed countries?

    It seems that most banks here, require updates on your information at least every two years.

    Can anyone who has applied for rentista residency advise how they show proof of income if you do not make income in Costa Rica?

    We have our accountant write an income certification that he signs/stamps. This satisfied BCR the last three times that we’ve had to update our account info. Our accountant keeps it on file & just updates the date when we go for a new one.

    CAJA also accepted the same income certification when establishing our CAJA premium in 2012. I have no idea if that would fly now with new regulations – but our carnets don’t expire for many years so we don’t have to worry about that yet.
