"Hello, My name is Tim - we're in the process of beginning to get our ducks in a row to move to the Nosara area. We're spending three months there in the first quarter of 2024. We're had a lot of trips to the area including other extended stays." - systmx

"As I continue to put ducks in a row. I am expecting that Costa Rica will be totally viable and glorious.. I will have started the pensionada process while in CR, but I will need an inexpensive exit site set up prior to my CR arrival in November. Any suggestions? A Tico Bus to Managua? A bus to Panama? ??? Also, when I go in November 2011 to Social Security to start my February 2012 initial retirement check application I imagine that I would have to have the check deposited to a US bank. Does sending it to the US embassy in CR make more sense? Is that doable and helpful for the Pensionada process? Many thanks" - autumngloryfriend
