    I was writing in my personal discription when I forgot that here on this forum you’ll be cut off after a certain time. I do use 2 other forums and I can write without being cut off. It would be a pleasure for me to participate but not this time. IT’ ll be a [b]BIG[/b] improvement if it would be possible to write without being cut off while typing.

    I like the format but hade to be cut off.
    Yes I know you can write on another page and copy it here but I don’t like to work this way.

    Thank You, I’ll see next time I’ll go to this area.

    The last time I was in CR I didn’t have the time to see where goes the road I discribed above. I’d like to know how they call that area and where goes that road. I bought another piece of land on that road. If you have any infos … Thanks

    Excuse me I’ve made a typing error I was talking about Esperanza de Turrialba. Still, to go there do you have to take the little road I’ve said before?

    To go to Esparza, a LASuiza, do you have to take the little gravel road in front of the soccer field and a few hundred feet further cross a little bridge and immediatly after the bridge turn to the left?

    Villa Colibri (Alajuela). http://www.villascolibri.com/contact.htm

    It’s 10 minutes from the airport, 300 feet away from a bus stop. For about $60 (Villa no 3) a night you’ll get a full house with 2 bedrooms (one with TV), 4 beds, a full kitchen, dinning room, living room + TV, laundry room and a shared swimming pool. It’s gated and secure (the gates are close at 6:30, open on calls from outside), lots of luch vegetation, rooms for kids to run and play, a tennis court and a soccer field. Restaurant on demand, food delevry. Very quit at night.

    From the lands I’ve found north of San Jose It takes similar time to go to San Jose than San Ramon, Atenas etc. maybe 15 to 30 minutes more depending where you’re going in San Jose, Heredia, Alajuela.

    In the little city of Turrialba there are an Hospital, ambulance services, fireman, several doctors and vetenerians, a university, C.A.T.I.E., a farmers market, hardware stores, decent supermarkets (like Maxi), super good taxi and bus services. Lots of little boutiques. People riding horses. I’ve seen some people coming to church with their horse letting them alone between two cars in front of the church while the owner is inside!

    It’s between 30 to 45 min to Cartago. I’ve seen several houses in the country around without bars or fences. Some places between Santa Cruz and Verbena Sur give you fantastic views on the Talamanca or the Atlantic ocean or the volcanos. On the other side Tuis, La Suiza and others are a little bit hotter and have stunning views from their hills. I’ve seen only a few expats there so if you’re not affraid to live with Ticos instead of living in gated community … Anyway if you own a good size of land you wont see your neighboors.

    The people are friendly and eager to help and have great family values. It’s reminding me the 50’s or 60’s mentality we use to have over here in Canada.

    Hi Sprite

    Till now I found those lands north, north-est of San Jose, south Cartago, around San Isidro del General, around Turrialba and Siquirres. From all those places I prefer by far the area of Turrialba, from Moravia to Pacayas. Till now in CR I didn’t visit the south-west and north-west area. Still to do.

    All those places give what I need (pharmacies, good food, furniture, construction materials, hardware store, vetenerians …) entre 20 y 45 minutos de carratera. I’m not young (52 years of age), yes I’m healthy and don’t consider me adventurous. Those places look more secure than San Jose who looks more a dangerous jungle to me. Right I don’t need good schools and fast internet speed connexion (anyway I’m use to it, it is not available here where I live in Québec).

    Price per square meter? Easy to count: there are 10 000 square meters per hectare. So it gives the price of $0.15 to $1 per square meter.

    It was not a subject on the forum it was an article. By the time I’ve read and understand the article not much time left to answer at the bottom of the page. At the second line written it went out. Gosh… I left and close the window.

    What’s the reason why giving short time to the users of the site?

    Comme vous dites bien comprendre l’anglais écrit, je vous conseil fortement de vous procurer le livre de M. Scott Oliver et de M. Roger A. Petersen “The legal guide to Costa Rica”. Vous trouverez dans ces livres beaucoup de réponses à vos questions.

    Bonjour Carole

    Premièrement je n’habite pas encore à plein temps au CR. Cela se fera en février 2011. Je serai au CR entre février et mai 2010.

    J’ai acheté une “finca” à La Suiza près de Turrialba au centre du pays. Des paysages montagneux fantastiques accompagnés de volcans comblent le décor. J’aime bien les côtes mais pas assez pour y vivre. Chaleurs extrêmes, moustiques, complexes hôteliers, condos ce n’est pas pour moi. Je préfère la campagne avec sa sécurité et sa tranquilité.

    Cela est une très bonne idée de louer une maison pour un certain laps de temps afin de bien s’imaginer ce que serait votre vie future à cet endroit avant d’y investir. Vous devez savoir que vous ne pouvez demeurer plus de 90 jours au pays, vous devrez quitter le pays pour au moins 72 heures avant de pouvoir y revenir. Beaucoup de gens qui ont investi au pays et qui y vivent depuis des années sont encore obligés de quitter le pays pour 72 hes à tous les 90 jours.

    Il y a quelques options pour obtenir un type de résidence.

    1. Marier un résident costaricain. Vous obtenez la résidence costaricaine.

    2. Résidence de pensionnaire. Ex: Vous avez travaillé suffisamment longtemps pour le gouvernement de votre pays (ou autre) pour obtenir une pension à vie. Le gouvernement costaricain est à adopter une loi qui exigera une pension de 1000$/mois pour ce type de résidence.

    3. Rentier. Que vous ayez des revenus (autres que de pension), mais je ne me souviens plus du montant exact (un montant nettement plus élevé que celui du pensionnaire).

    4. Investisseur. Celui-là est plus complexe, l’aide d’un avocat est impérative. Il est faux de prétendre pouvoir obtenir une résidence qu’en achetant une plantation de teck pour 30 000$. Il m’apparaît que le seul but de cette agence est de vous vendre un terrain, je serais méfiant envers cette agence.

    Il est difficile d’obtenir une résidence permanente au CR, cela ne se fait pas en criant “ciseaux”. Même une personne qui se classe à la section 2 ou 3 cela peut prendre quelques années avant de pouvoir l’obtenir.

    En espérant que cela réponde un tant soit peu à vos questions,

    Que vos rêves se réalisent

    Bonjour Carole

    Posez vos questions, j’y répondrez du mieux que je pourrai pour ce que je sais et de ce que j’ai vécu. Sinon je vous dirai simplement mon incompétence à répondre à certaines questions.

    Vous avez l’intention de venir y vivre. Combien de temps avez-vous vécu au CR? Où aimeriez-vous vous installer?
