Home › Forums › Costa Rica Living Forum › Another retirement question
I was wondering if I can start the immigration process without yet being retired? I will have over $2200 per month when I retire, but would like to start the process and then at the very end retire and submit that paperwork.
Can it work that way?
I live near Washington D.C. and am guessing I could work through the Consulate here. Also, I am fairly fluent in Spanish if that matters.
Thanks,
Phil
Some aspects of it you can get started but items like the your police report, which must be no more than three months old will have to wait. You should check with a qualified immigration attorney for what you can you do ahead of time. I had excellent service from Javier Zaleta of Residency in Costa Rica. http://www.residencyincostarica.com
[b]Phil[/b] if you are applying as a [i]Pensionado[/i], you must be already receiving your guaranteed pension when you apply, even if it is your very first payment. Your ‘file’ must be complete when you application goes to migracion. And it still may take a year or more from the receipt of your application by [i]migracion[/i], to be granted this status.
