[quote=”maravilla”]they may not let you board the plane without a ticket out of costa rica. many people buy a bus ticket online for nica or panama and use that as proof that they are leaving the country after 90 days. worse case scenario is you have to buy a refundable ticket home. and no, this is not a new ruling. do you have residency? if so, then it doesn’t matter.[/quote]
Could you please let me know what bus company sells tickets to Nicaragua or Panama on line. It looks like Tica Bus doesn’t accept stateside checks. I have a one way flight and want to set up the 90 day passage out prior to November CR arrival. Many thanks. I have enjoyed your forum imputs. MaggieThanks for the update… If you would be so kind, please let me know some resources for more current cost of living data.
Re the cost of the Pensionada process… would $1500 or so include all the legal fees and processing?
Would Atenas, Grecia, Orosi, San Ramon be good places to look?Dear Folks,
Thank you so much for the information…
Does the roundtrip have to be back to the US? Could it be a bus ticket to Nicaragua or Panama with a hotel reservation? Could it be just Ft Lauderdale, which I imagine is the cheapest flight?
Regarding the six month birth certificate. Thanks for the update. I happened to notice one other place where it was stated that about six month issue date. OK.. With respect to the police report is it any form that the local State police give? Do I then get it notarized locally?
Re: the passport photos: I have heard the need for four additional ones, and also 12 with six profile shots.. Any definitive word?
Thanks for the info about Roger Petersen, ESQ. Has anyone used his services for the Pensionada process? What is the going rate for those application services? Any other lawyers that are bilingual and wonderfully helpful and reasonable?
I am looking forward to being in Costa Rica for the Pura Vida and finding a wonderful and very reasonable abode for around $350-400 monthly with internet and utilities near a bus stop in the Central Valley.
Sorry if these questions seem so mundane after you guys are mostly down there living the good life. La cosa asombrosa is that I appreciate your extending yourselves to help … Many thanks…Dear Fellow Requip user:
I can certainly identify about requip and restless leg. It is certainly one medication that I would never think of not using daily. I am curious about what you find out about procuring.
It is funny… I usually can wait till about five pm before I need to take the generic requip. This morning I have been ‘restless’ already….
I am moving to Costa Rica this year. I have my one way ticket for November. I am planning on going to Spanish language school for the first three weeks, get a feel for areas in the Central Valley and then applying for Pensionada status. Have you done that yet? Does the Birth Certificate really have to be issued within six months of application? Do I go to the local State Police barracks and use whatever form they give? Can I apply for residency with just the written confirmation of my Social Security starting in February of 2012? Is the ARCR more helpful or a lawyer to work the process?
I am so excited about the move. Take care and look forward to hearing from you.
