[quote=”VictoriaLST”]I also heard the story about the office in Liberia. We were going to do it, then I heard that you need to apply for the extension 20 days prior to the expiration of your current visa. I think its worth checking out, but, since my visa expired in 8 days, I took a trip to Nicaragua. The Nicaragua trip was fairly easy; I went through Los Chiles. The boat ride was lovely.[/quote]

Sounds like its something to at least look further into, like you said. Thanks ! Never been to Los Chiles yet, maybe we will give it a try.

[quote=”costaricafinca”]If you have a 90 day tourist visa, you are required to leave the country…but you are not [b]guaranteed[/b] to be given another 90 days. If you do don’t have a Costs Rican drivers license, you will have to do this anyway, if you want to be able to continue driving here.
If you have the 30 day visa, you can it ‘renewed’ twice.

Thank you for your response. I understand that part, was just wondering if anything recently has changed with the office in Liberia on the 90 day visa’s that my friend heard rumors on.

[quote=”markus”]I don’t know the house or the person. But, My wife and I stayed at the Samara Palm lodge for several days a few months ago. I think they have a 1-2 bedroom apartment with kitchen. Not sure. If you don’t mind staying at a B&B, this could be it. This place is cozy, beatiful, clean, friendly and safe. And Lothar is incredible (Bridgite was away) When we go back we will definitely stay there again.

Has anyone brought in boxes along or instead of suitcases ? not everything we have fits in suitcases and allows good options for padding. I have seen boxes come out of the baggage claim but wonder if its a problem on the Costa Rica side. Thanks ! Jo
