[quote=”Hotfyre60″]Im in the process of looking at moving to costa rica on a permanent basis if at all possible. My concern is with my retirement investment and the tax implications with the CRA.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]That depends on what you want to do with it. Do you want to move your investments to CR? Hide the income from CRA? Will you remain resident for tax purposes in Canada, or become a non-resident of Canada? Residency status depends on where you are materially living, not where you spend your time. If you’re not looking to hide or evade anything, your best resource is the CRA itself. I’ve always found their help line people to be helpful. The CRA website is also crammed with useful information… 🙂

[quote=”Deke272″]Hello,
I particularly likes the beaches near Cahuita and Puerto Viejo, (Punta Uma?) on the Caribbean side… but for dental..my guy is Dr. Mario Garitas and an implant molar runs about $1300.00 , $850 for the implant the remainder for the crown or whatever. I have had root canals for 200.00 He had a practice in Miami, speaks perfect ENglish and is very concerned about being gentle.[/quote]
Thanks Deke272. Dr. Mario is quite heavily promoted on this site, and I’ve heard of him. No prices are listed though, so I was glad for that information. (I did request a quote, and got no response). Costs are almost one third of what I’d pay here – excellent! I do wonder why nobody ever seems to mention other dentists, however….
As for beaches, what was in my head in my original post did not transfer itself to the post: I find the coasts too warm and humid, so am looking for places to live and swim at higher elevations – i.e. the cooler climate of the central valley.
Thanks Maravilla. Very helpful. 😀
And thank you Victoria. Maybe that area is the place for me…
I saw the recommendation on this site, and have seen several other sites as well; they’re all pretty vague about actual costs, however, which is my burning question… :?::?:
What’s your reasoning, Maravilla? One of the things CR is noted for is water activities (white water rafting, Lake Arenal, etc.). Is it an issue with raw sewage going directly into the waterways?
Hi Barbara Ann. I normally live in Spain, and 250 is about what I’d pay there – much cheaper than Canada.
The coast, however, doesn’t interest me. I love the ocean, but the coasts are too hot and humid for me! And salt water crocs? This is meant as encouragement to go to Jaco?:wink:
I did a quick search and found this: http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10137.html I didn’t read it all, but it looks as though it might be addressing your concern…
