I am in process of completing my residency too. Originally when I started , I had an attorney quote me $5000 and within 2 weeks I would have a “cedula”. He was bold enought to tell me how he gets more from Asians and Columbians ! I wanted to do things legally so I went to the CR consulate , they gave me the list of items to complete and I did it all myself. However, I know friends in CR and it they were necessary to help me find my way to an official transaltor and accompany me to get fingerprints taken, show me where the “registro” and the “casa amarilla” is. Now , I have had documents lost at the ” registro ” after turning them in and had them re-done, it has taken much more than 6 months , but I’m not in a hurry either. If I used an attorney, maybe it would be done sooner , who knows, documents could still get lost and misplaced whoever does them. But my point is unless you have contacts already in CR who are willing to help you , it would be worth paying the $1300 for the whole service. Why not ask what has been completed already, maybe half the work is done and the attorney would charge a little less.
I had an implant done in Curridiabat , outside of San Jose. Dr. Oscar Reiche Fishel was excellent, had a state of the art dental office, graduated from U.S. very friendly and painless. Email me at charliequesada@yahoo.com if you want his number, don’t have it offhand.
No , keep your passport in a safe place. Make a photo copy of the passport to carry with you ( you don not need the original to travel around ) , you can use that to drive for 3 months upon entry.
