    He was across from the Courtyard Marriot in San Jose and may still be there “Adult Dentistry of Costa Rica” also on facebook and you can Google Dr. Mario Garita..

    Scott Oliver (webmaster) also knows him.

    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.

    Good one!!I see International Living is pitching Ecuador & Peru now….

    [quote=”maravilla”]i was thinking about these new rules and i really don’t know why anyone is complaining. i mean, all i’ve heard for 8 years is how screwed up CR is, this that or the other thing is ridiculous, laws aren’t enforced, blah blah blah, and how things would be better if they were more like the US.
    well, now they are. congrats. all the people who whined got just……..

    Thanksa again. I have now got a “track” for getting my documentos through Canadian DFAIT and then to the Embassey of COsta Rica in Ottawa, and have requested new copies of birth, income and RCMP background. Sadly I had done all this but personal circumstances changed and I had to put things on hold but now knowing Canada’s method of apostille (they didn’t sign up with the other nations on this convention) I can go forward.

    I have to say these forums are an excellent resource to get started on just about anything re CR. Next? Getting my car there! But that’ll come later!:D

    * certified copy of birth certificate
    * proof of guaranteed income (amount depends on type of residency you are pursuing, but the $600 for pensionado has been increased to $1,000)
    * background check
    * are you married? if so, certified copy of marriage license

    all of the above (and possibly more) must be notarized and go to the secretary of state in where they are issued, they must receive an “apostille” and then everything packaged together and submitted to migracion here in CR.

    there are plenty of services and attorneys that offer assistance with this process.

    One final requirement – PATIENCE![/quote]

    [quote=”lisamarie6987″]I am a 55ish woman desiring to move to CR. I have been advised to rent for awhile. I will have SS and some savings. Mybe I will meet a nice man in the future:oops:

    Is there someone out there that can give me some advice?

    Perhaps we can meet up when I arrive?

    I too am seeking to rent, Escazu might be too expensive, and I do want to experience the Pacific side as I have already spent time on the Caribbean side and in San Jose.

    I am using the services of the good people at ARCR via their email at legal@arcr.net

    Perhaps they can help with rental resources, and cetainly they can help with the legal requirements regarding residency. I do believe you might have to become a member, which I would recommend in any event and I see some are paying but 50.00$ a year whereas I have been paying 100.00 (perhaps because of my membership in Casa Canada) but either way. It’s a good thing.

    Sorry

    another question I had and should have included.

    What does it take to join the CAJA? And how much a month for that for one person? I believe obtaining residency is a requirement first if I am not mistaken.

    Thanks.
    Secretary of state in which they are issued? What does that mean? Canada’s secretary of State for example ? or CR’s?

    Excellent information

    thanks
