Costa Rica: Working In Costa Rica:

Without permanent resident or a work visa, it is illegal for either of you to work here.... plus salaries are very low. http://costaricalaw.com/costa-rica-legal-topics/immigration-and-residency/residency-general-information-and-summary/ http://costaricalaw.com/category/costa-rica-legal-topics/working-in-costa-rica/

Nicaragua: Goats In country?:

We had goats in Costa Rica and they did not eat brush nor did they clear land. Milk and cheese was good, but thieves will look for some good fat ones especially around the holidays. Goats are not native to either Costa Rica or Nicaragua so have to be vaccinated. Psst ...don't plant any trees near the goats.

Costa Rica: Help moving from the states:

Which area are you intending to live in so folk can respond to your questions, like what lhammond14 posted. Are you aware that with legal residency and being 40 your health care premiums, depending on which status you apply for could be as high $450 a month? Book accommodation in advance then get a taxi to drive you around as there are no proper 'addresses' here.

Costa Rica: Bringing my car?:

This is a very low to the ground car, so if you live in an area where the roads are gravel with ruts and very often big holes in it, or you are required to drive through a river, it may be best to buy another vehicle here. If you decide to stay on the main roads in town, it should be fine.

Costa Rica: Looking for small rental space in Arenal area:

You may want to try www.flipkey.com, www.vrbo.com or www.airbnb.com

Costa Rica: Dentist in Grecia:

The Gringo tax will increase the cost.

Costa Rica: shipping household items:

If you are used to being out and about, with lots of choices of entertainment to choose from, you would be best to live in Escazu or at least near the city....not in the beach towns, which only tends to offer tourist stores, restaurants and bars.

Costa Rica: visiting and moving (?):

While reading info on 'blogs' can be 'amusing', realize that often you will get much more pertinent information on the various news websites. Most 'blogs' tell you what you want to hear... Read TicoTimes amcostarica qcostarica insidecostarica la nacion vozdeguanacaste crhoy

Nicaragua: Caribbean Side?:

wanewbee, you should check out the legality of arriving in your dingy and import/mooring your 'live aboard' when not a legal resident. Also it isn't safe to leave your boat 'unoccupied'. When we stayed there a friend encountered many problems.

Costa Rica: Random rookie questions about moving to CR:

Make sure if you get good internet speed if you are intending to do business. Be sure to get a home in a secure area if you have to leave regularly as it will be noticed and you could return to an empty nest. Most here get someone to house sit, even when only away overnight. or out for the day.
