[/list]I had an above ground pool (from pricesmart.com) installed on a concrete slab with a carport like roof of clear corragated plastic and solar heating and a solar cover, warm 90% in the dry season and 70% of the wet. It is small(9x18x4 feet, 5000 gallons) . I have had some problems with the plumbing. Very little chemical use since it is not exposed to the sun and rain. Cost, about $10K.
[quote=”DavidCMurray”]And to expand a little on what sandymae has written above, in order to maintain your legal residency status, now you must be continuously enrolled in the CAJA, the national health system. That’ll be another expense to take out of your $1,700 per month.
You might opt to try the “perpetual tourist” route instead and leave the country every three months or travel to Immigration in La Uruca and pay to have your tourist visa extended. Trouble is, either of those options, too, will eat into your $1,700 and neither will gain you any material benefit.[/quote]
David, I’d like more information on paying to extend your visa. How much does it cost? Where is La Uruca is Immigration, at the embassy?:?
