First off, you should search for information on the rules of gaining residency here, if you haven’t already done so, which will explain that you cannot legally work here until you are a legal resident that will take approx 5 years. Check out http://www.arcr.net
It is expensive but it is available at the Do-It Center just outside of Liberia. We just bought some.
Trying to find a competent trades person to do the polishing may be difficult…since they probably don’t have the tools. While there are many excellent people around who do regular work on floors all the time, very inexpensively.
My friend in Naranjo used to being in flour when she flew in.
Twice a friend has sent dog treats in a parcel by mail, and the first time we had a ‘warning’ from customs in Caldera. Second time, there was no way the vet who was brought in to check them out, would allow us to take them with us, because they were made in China…..
Main problem there was no Spanish ingredient list, which would be the same for flour.
We received a week later, a letter from the vet explaining that these may be bad for our dogs…On your statement [i]”So far my only thought is that those that are successfully applying as Rentistas are able to get their bank to sign off on “a lie”,[/i] I would like to add that of all the times this question has been asked on this forum and others, I have only seen a positive response from one person, saying that their bank, I think Scotiabank, would sign this letter, and they felt it was only because of a long time association.
It would simpler if you deposited the funds in Costa Rica.Note that the above poster is talking about the previous amount required, now it is $150,000 for you and your whole family.
The $2500 amount is deposited in your account, which you [i]must then be prepared to show[/i] that you have converted the dollars to colones when you go to renew your [i]cedula[/i][b]Phil[/b] if you are applying as a [i]Pensionado[/i], you must be already receiving your guaranteed pension when you apply, even if it is your very first payment. Your ‘file’ must be complete when you application goes to migracion. And it still may take a year or more from the receipt of your application by [i]migracion[/i], to be granted this status.
[i]Not [/i]being a beer drinker, won’t deter me from replying to this topic 😆
I would think that a major problem, would be that the ‘ex-pats’ that the OP would like to sell to, are spread throughout the country, with many not having access to the larger supermarkets that may sell/stock imported beer. The [i]pulperias[/i] in small towns are not going to carry what they can’t sell, and [i]they do know[/i] they will sell the local products. Cheap.The letter must be issued by international banks [i]that are registered within Polk’s Bank Directory[/i], as well as Costa Rican banks. so this tends to be a problem
Bread machines often calls for ‘bread flour’. But you will have to get used to using what is actually available….and learn to substitute as many of have already done.
You find it…I’ll help you get it to the bank….:lol:
My husband keeps saying, when he has time, he will make a sluice box. Of course, it would be easier if we lived nearer a river…You are not permitted to remove any ‘antiquities’ from the country.
Where we were living just outside of Turrialba, there was some Americans affiliated with a Costa Rican university who brought some students to the property just above ours, for three consecutive years. They did find some very basic ‘tools’ made out of rock and gave us small one, plus they found evidence of dishes.
