We, too, have 2, HP Pavilions and are pleased with them.
We had a problem with one, and when back in Canada, HP did everything we requested plus more, even though it was out of warranty, at no cost to us, and was returned in 4 days, including pick up/delivery, from the other side of Canada, over a weekend.As of yet, have no information under the ‘new rules’ but under the old/present rules, is was nearly impossible to get this.
One has to purchase property or business [i]prior to applying[/i] and then one must present plans, financial and supply information how many locals would be employed. [i]Lots of red tape.[/i][b][/b]
In most instances, residency will be granted for only for one person, not a spouse or family so other family members had to apply independently.
The government is really looking for [i]very large investors[/i][b][/b] for this category.No, I don’t think you understand.
For your wife to apply under Rentista status , she will be required to ‘deposit’ in a financial institution, $150,000.00 to cover her expenses five years.
[b]If[/b] she has her [b]own[/b] pension of [b]at least $1000 per month[/b], she can apply as a Pensionado, independent of your application. In both categories your children, will be covered [b]if under 18[/b] or attending school .Do you realize what the [url=http://blog.therealcostarica.com/2009/08/13/the-new-costa-rica-immigration-law/]Financial Requirements [/url]will be for this?
You have posted previously that you have no savings, so ‘going this route’ would ‘seem impossible’.You should then consider applying separately for pensionado status, because if and when you [i]’depart'[/i] your wife will not automatically keep her status, as she and your family are your ‘dependents’ so [b]unless by then you all have Permanent residency[/b][i][/i] she could be required to leave CR. She will need to apply using her own pension. If presently, your spouse does not have a pension of her own, she should apply under the Rentista status. Under Pensionado status your children are covered if they are under 18 or over if they are attending university in Costa Rica. Under Rentista status, they need to apply individually.
They do make Rawlings baseballs in Turrialba though!
All get exported, I expect.
I wouldn’t invest in this sport here.
Maybe not [i]quite as popular[/i] as cricket…:lol:There probably [i]isn’t a list[/i] on the internet.
When you arrive, the best bet would be to go to one of the private clinics and ask there. Or as you mentioned the hospital.
The one I used, was affiliated with a private facility, but only came in 2 days per week from another area on the Pacific coast to LiberiaICE has provided [i]in the past[/i], free native seedlings for reforestation, as [b]jdocop[/b] mentions. These seedlings may be 4′ tall in some instances (if left over from the previous year) or 6″. This year, they [i]may[/i] put a price on the seedlings.
We have planted over 13,000 of these ‘trees’. Of course, the cost of labour, fertilizing, prep work raises the cost substantially and ICE does indeed stop by to check that they have been planted where you say they will be and give you their recommendations for future care.[b]janetready[/b] we did this same move, although to family who had established their home there.
When we made the move here, over 9 years ago, it was very different, since our [i]’kids'[/i] and their families had established their own homes in Canada.
The [b]#1[/b][i][/i] reason for returning ‘home’ [i]seems[/i] to be [i]missing the family.[/i] Talking this past week to another American couple who have just sold their home here and will return to the USA in June, and to others, [i]if[/i] there has been second marriage, that seems to increase the chances of turmoil regarding [i]families back home[/i].
If one has [i]’young family members'[/i] possibly students at university or new grandchildren, that is hard as well.
Forum members are just that, forum members. Chances are you will never meet them [i]face-to-face[/i] and could pass them at the [i]feria[/i] with no idea who they are, unless of course they post a recognizable photo.:)
