Hey everyone…I have searched but couldn’t find anything on the subject, so I have a couple of questions, if someone can help, I appreciate it.
What is the process for a Tico to obtain a passport? What are the costs? and how long does the process take?
As always, THANKS!!
Dan.
Just to obtain a Costa Rican passport is quite fast and easy for a [i]Tico[/i]…but if their intent is to try for a US visa, then that is a whole different kettle of fish…and not cheap.

What is involved for a US visa to visit the States say, for a week or two…..Any idea?

VMC, I thought I remembered this on your profile, so I went back to check & see – and yep, at least that part of my brain is still working, because it is right there ….[b][i]”I am married to a wonderful girl a little younger than I, and we now have our first Grandchild…How did this happen, I was just 18 the other day?”[/i][/b]
I also recall that you don’t allow much dust to settle in your tracks – You excitedly moved from the states to Playa Negra (couldn’t wait to get there), then after a week or two you up and moved to the mountains – so have you moved on in your marital relationship as well? If not, how could you get married again?
Bill the “Get Married” thing was said in jest, and to answer your question, more or less, I am now alone in Costa Rica…It’s a tale I will reserve, but I’ll just say, “Things Happen” after 18 years together, we are no more…..I was asking about the Visa because a friend wants to come and see Disney and stuff, and I am just trying to find out how ridiculous the process is.
Oh, and as for the move from Playa Negra….We trusted a friend and moved there sight-unseen only to find that the house was NOT as we were told, and the conditions were less than bearable….I’m not prone to flights of fancy or instability if that is what you are trying to ascertain. 😀

VMC –
I remember your horror stories about the conditions in Playa Negra, and sorry to hear about your personal trials.[quote=”costaricabill”]VMC –
