[quote=”waggoner41″][quote=”mattn63″] Thanks for the info. I checked out Craigslist, but it didn’t show much. I will be relocating and starting a Technical Services business. I plan to apply for Pensionado residency.[/quote]
Once you get your documents in to Migracion they provide you with a document called “Expediente”. Keep this and your passport with you and get your CR drivers license before your 90 days is up.
The Expedients proves you are in process, the passport identifies you and traffic cops require that you have the drivers license. You will no longer have to leave with these docs.[/quote]Excellent information. Thank you sir. I’m still looking for real estate listings for longterm house rentals. I plan to rent a house while looking for the “perfect” home to buy. Any info from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

I am coming to CR next month on a fact finding mission. I have a friend who has been there for 11 years. He tells me that people with experience in the IT field are in high demand. Are you aware of this sort of demand? Thanks for your helpful info.Matt
[quote=”costaricafinca”]It can take up to a year to gain any Resident status, so expect to leave, when necessary.
I expect that you have read that you cannot do [b][i]any[/i] [/b]’physical/actual work’ yourself, so must hire local or legal workers.:cry:[/quote]Yes, I have researched all of the residency and labor laws. The labor laws look like they were written by a union boss. Maybe I’ll meet a sweet Tico woman and get married. That would make residency easier.[quote=”costaricafinca”]You can check out ‘Craigs list’, but it is quite difficult to find a rental, especially a long time rental here. You would be better off to make arrangement for a months stay at a B&B or vacation rental in the La Fortuna area, while you search around the area, as when any rental appears, they are ‘snapped up’ so you really need to be here in person to physically check it out.
Realize that you are legally, only allowed to stay for 90 days then you must leave to renew your tourist visa. Else you may be fined and/or deported….[/quote]
