If you are intending to send your children to university in the US, they will be required to attend an accredited school and the public ones will not fit the bill.

A few weeks ago, the newspaper, [i]La Nación,[/i] posted that in nine high schools [b]not one student[/b] received a passing grade.
While the guaranteed monetary requirement for [i]Pensionado[/i], is $1000 per month, there is [i]no way[/i] that this would be enough for a family of 6 to live on. Unless you have an ongoing, additional income please do not make any hasty decisions.
We have friends visiting Ecuador right now, and am looking forward to hearing what their ‘take on it’, is. They have lived and traveled all over the world
Seven years ago, one of Bill Clintons ‘team’ purchased our coffee farm here. Very nice people but we were surprised when they actually stayed that long, living in a very rural community, but they have recently returned to the USA leaving a very expensive home they built on the property, empty, in their rush to leave…
No, one is required to be a resident.
Why would you even consider ‘locking’ into CAJA rates, when you have not made any definite intentions to move here?
Have you read the requirements for living here, [url=www.residencyincostarica.com]Residencyincostarica[/url]?
According to a friend who posted elsewhere, as of last month, those who came here as a recent [i]Rentista[/i] and who paid $230 based on their $2500 that is transferred into their account, and [i]Pensionados[/i] who receive a minimum of $1000 were paying $120, both 12% of their ‘income’. I do not know whether this rate has been increased.
Those of us who moved years ago have a much better rate, and I have no problem with the increase, but for those who will be required to pay, so much more when they, like many of ‘us’ may tend use CAJA for only emergencies and pay ‘out of pocket’ for private care.

[b]loraine[/b], be careful when cutting down trees as you may be required to get permission, [b]first[/b]. Doing so with out it can land you in big trouble.
Hubby said to try ‘[url=http://www.capris.cr/]Capris SA[/url]’ in La Uruca,San Jose. Expensive, but has good ‘stuff’
The same rule applies
Be advised your son, will not be covered in [b]your[/b] application, due to his age so will be required to have $60K to apply for residency.Please read the rules and reg’s for living here at http://www.residencyincostarica.com and check the posts just below yours where it will explain, that you cannot legally work here until you are a Permanent resident.
No small fine or tweaks allowed …just possibly deportion.
You would even be permitted to clean up the bathroom after your emplyee threw up….:oops:
