Two points of information: First, Costa Rica is cracking down on “perpetual tourists”. Don’t invest a lot of money here and then find out they won’t let you back in to visit it.

Second, if you are here for more than ninety days, you are REQUIRED to get a Costa Rican driver’s license. If you don’t get it in the first ninety days and get caught in one of the traffic police’s roadside checks, first they will make your life miserable and then the driver’s license office will.

In both instances (as well as with regard to business and liquor licenses), play by the rules and play it smart.
