Hi
I am retired Florida teacher considering relocating in Central America. I prefer near water possibly Nicaragua, Costa Rica or Panama. From the comments here I understand that there is considerable waiting for pensionado visa that allows you to qualify for medical coverage (what I mean to be allowed to pay and participate in the local health care system). I would rely appreciate if someone tell me:

-Roughly how long does it take to get retired visa to qualify for the medical coverage?
-Do you have to be in the country while this process is taking place?
-If you have to be in the country while waiting for the visa what do you do for medical coverage?

Any information would be greatly welcomed

Thank you

Future expat (hopefully)
