Hay guy’s,

Your are stating numbers without any real meat and potatoes behind them. When one states 40% to 60% are returning home we have to understand why. Is it the weather, people, culture, food, crime, Hurricanes, earthquakes,etc. Or could some of these people be selling because their purchases were investments and not so much retirement homes. Or maybe second homes that now they can’t afford and must sell. So the real number could be 1% to 5% that actually don’t like Costa Rica.
As for renting, I think that’s a good idea and we are leaning that way. But maybe with all these people leaving there might be more opportunity for rentals.
It’s nice to be informed but the numbers when presented have to make sense. You don’t want to send the wrong message.

Hi Scott,
Thanks for your reply. Is it possible to use your atm card in say Scotia Bank (Costa Rica) to access your funds in Canada until you are able to open an account there?
Thanks again.

I do have a certificate of birth, but the berth was not registered. The Canadian gov’t excepted the certificate of berth without it being registered. So if I did require any further paper work than what I have I could not provide it, possibly causing me a problem. But as I said if the Canadian gov’t accepted the paper work I have, as to birth, may be this will be enough for the Costa Rican gov’t. I will have to cross that bridge when I get there.

Tks

Actually I was also born in Germany but on a British Airforce Base. I do have a birth certificate but my birth was not registered and that is where the problem lies. I did get in touch with the British Airforce but they have no records pertaining to my birth. The Canadian government did accept my birth certificate as presented so I will have to see if Costa Rica will do the same. We have a trip booked with George Lundquist and I will talk to an Attorney when there. Like to stay away from Lawyers as long as possible.

Thanks for all the input
Emil

Thanks Scott.
So then the next question would be do you need to be a resident to live in Costa Rica?
