    Hello Victoria,
    We are currently changing our INS policy from Hogar 2000 to Hogar Comprehensivo and have just reviewed the exclusions. Unfortunately tools are specifically excluded. We are purchasing some coverage for contents as we are then able to insure two domestic employees, ie a gardener and a housekeeper, for a minimal cost. This policy is new and might be of interest to people wanting to insure employees for workplace accidents.

    I can recommend a shop in San Ramon.The shop name is Taller Hidrotec Mahdok. The mechanic’s name is Oldemar Quiros Lopez. Tel 2 445 3249. Address 50 meters east of La gruta, la Guaria. San Ramon, facing the highway. Very little english spoken, he only repairs automatic transmissions, nothing else. He is honest and his prices are good.

    Hi David,
    Our residency was approved under the old rules,income of 600US$ per month. We have no problem with the conversion while we are here in CR,but we live in Canada for half the year. Of course,we spend much more than 600$ when we are here and way in excess of 7200$ during our time in CR. My main concern is the monthly conversion as we are not here part of the year. I was hoping that someone knew the rule.
    Thanks

    Thanks so much,I think I understand now. The RCMP do act as local police in parts of Canada. Where we live in Ontario, we have our own local police force. I will approach them.

    Thanks again

    The government would be completely inundated if every single ptoperty owner made a declaration. It would seem sensible that only those over the 100 million colon threshhold would be required to make a declaration. You never know though, this is Costa Rica!!
    There was an article in The Tico Times {Nov 6th edition}, written by Alonso Arroyo. His information states that properties under the threshhold do NOT have to make the declaration.
    Mr. Arroyo is a graduate of the University of Costa Rica, as well he holds a master’s degree from Harvard Law School. I think he knows his stuff!
