Can anyone tell us for how long a [b]Permanent Resident [/b]may stay out of Costa Rica in any one year? We do a lot of overseas traveling and need to know if we risk falling afoul of C/Rica laws is we are away for extended periods. Thank you.

As a permanent resident, the only “in country requirement” is that you visit CR once per year.
That said, these rules are in a perpetual state of flux.
Just to clarify, as a permanent resident you do only have to visit Costa Rica once a year but you have to make sure you’re not out of Costa Rica longer than a year. The year starts with your exit date. If you exit Costa Rica on December 6, 2015, you must make an entry prior to December 6, 2016. It wouldn’t be okay to visit once in 2015, then again in 2016 at a date that is more than 1 year from your exit.
