“you MUST DESIGNATE WHICH COUNTRY THEY ARE FOR.”
Good to know, Maravilla!
Aside from getting needed information from this site, I’m learning soooo very much in general. I’m a definite proponent of lifelong learning and I thank Scott as much for this as for hosting a site that’s so beneficial for required matters.
In additional answer to your statement elsewhere, Maravilla, about my working wist someone — my lawyer kept using the term “notarized” and this was my problem; I think he meant “certified” by the Office of Vital Statistics. I couldn’t imagine a notary’s signing off on a document when the person who was signing it wasn’t known to him/her and wasn’t there in person. This was a language problem I think. I’m now clear and I thank everyone who helped with my question.
Thank you, Maravilla. I’m working with someone, but I also know that there are many possible answers to the same questions and that people often get different ones from three different lawyers and the consulate. I’m the type of person who likes to get all answers I possibly can from all available sources before doing anything. 🙂
And this is what I mean, Bill. How would you certify that the signature on an old birth certificate or marriage license or whatever is real?
I don’t know if I’ll need my marriage license; I’m a widow, but my name was changed 36 years ago. My birth certificate and my passport don’t match because of this. How do you certify this old signature? How would you certify a 60 year old birth certificate? How would you know?
Wasn’t this just changed to 6 months, Dave? Also, when does this count begin and how is this counted (30 days per month or what)? I know that a temporary card is issued before all of the paperwork has been processed. Is it at this time or after the final card is given?
Thanks for the info, Gringo. I wasn’t looking to buy anything, just to know what it was all about and you gave me a good explanation. I figure if I wanted to move there with that type of appliance (and I don’t), I’d include it in my shipping container. The more electronics there are, the fewer of them I use and the more that goes wrong — it’s a given. 🙂
What, specifically, is the Zona Franca and what’s the difference between the one in Golfito and the one near the San Jose airport? Thank you.
I don’t bother with filing complaints with paypal. I pay with a credit card through paypal and dispute with my own credit card company. This is automatic — file a dispute and the charge is removed until the credit card company (bank) deals with paypal and the vendor. I’m going through this right now. I disputed the charge with my bank and a few days later got a notice from paypal that the bank had sent this concern to them. In the meantime, the charge was deducted from my credit card statement.
I walked into a T-Mobile store today to ask about this and was told that they don’t unlock phones. I asked where and how much and was told that there were a couple of places in Orlando and the cost would be about $40.00. Of course, it’s possible the person I was talking to didn’t know; there’s always customer service to call. T-Mobile customer service is, in my opinion, fantastic; I’m going to be very sorry to give them up when I move.
What’s the approximate price in CR for unlocking a phone?
Note to self:
Don’t read what Curly writes and then do the math right after coming out of anesthesia, posting it the next day. :)))) Of course you’re right, Pistol. Thank you for the correction.
I think we’re talking apples and oranges here, Curly. You seem to be talking from the point of view of a Canadian who has medical insurance because you’re a Canadian and you also seem to be talking about traveling out of Canada. I’m talking about giving up my American medical insurance and traveling back to the U.S.
I was in the hospital for nine days in January of 2005 with a medical problem. The hospital bill was about $44,000. The bills for the four doctors who worked on me came to about $5,000 total. That’s $49,000. International insurance purchased in CR pays 70% up to a fixed amount. Thirty percent of $49,000 is $1470. Okay. For a woman my age this is somewhere in the area of the cost of International insurance for one year. However, what if I’d had a severe head trauma and had been in the operating room and/or intensive care for 8-12 hours and/or a few days in the U.S. until I was stabilized and transported back to CR, paying 30%?
Are you sure you have medical insurance in general with a credit card, Curly? Are you sure it isn’t just medical insurance if you’re injured on a common carrier if you bought your ticket with it or medical insurance outside of Canada? I’m looking for medical insurance for travel back in the U.S.

That would be wonderful, Dave!
We have reservations at a B&B in the Grecia area for the entire trip. It just seemed more sensible for us to have a place to leave everything and to return back at night even if this meant very long days.
Please send me some contact information (email, phone, whatever) so that we can make arrangements. Several weeks ago I sent you a personal email from this site, but I think it may have gone into your spam folder (my yahoo spam account currently has 2138 of them). Gads! Next time I’ll write from a different email address than the one I use here.
