But when leaving every 90 days, it’s supposed to be for at least 72 hours, correct? So they couldn’t just leave for “lunch…”
Thanks, Costaricafinca — you have been helpful. 🙂 I’ve been teaching 1st Grade and Kindergarten in NY state for 11 years now, and had hoped to fulfill my dream of moving to the southern part of the Nicoya Peninsula with my husband and three small kids. After extensive research, it’s difficult to feel encouraged that it could be a possibility, because it just seems so difficult to live there legally, with residency, unless you have mucho dinero stashed in the bank. I had hoped that there might be some “loophole” into gaining residency and working in CR, but apparently I’m being idealistic. Hopefully I’ll win the lottery some day. Guess I should actually play sometime. But thanks again!
Thanks. I had heard that they’re becoming “tighter” about the leaving/re-entering process… I know the different types of residency and the rules/regulations for each one; however, would you happen to know if there is any type of special exception or allowance for teachers? I am an early childhood teacher, and may have an opportunity to work in a bilingual school on the Nicoya Peninsula. Wonder if that would be “legal” work if I’m not a CR resident? And would it be possible to apply for residency then, without $150K in the bank, etc. etc.?
So, am I understanding this correctly? Driver’s license process seems easy enough to accomplish logistically speaking. But, do you have to be a “legal resident” to get a CR driver’s license? If my (N. American) family lived in CR as “perpetual tourists,” theoretically, and left every 90 days only to return to our Montezuma home, could my husband and I still get CR licenses, even without being considered “legal” permanent residents?
