BandaThank you for the updated amounts required. Do the documents required for application for residency still need to be translated and attested by the Costa Rican embassy/consulate in the country of origin? We are from the same country in Europe, have lived in the USA for 30 years, one of us as naturalized citizen, the other with a green card, and now we are very close to realizing the plan to move to Costa Rica to run our tourist business ourselves. It would be good to know if we need to make time for a trip "back home" to the mother country. Thank you for any light you can shed on this issue.
