If you are staying longer than three months will there be any problem with having a roundtrip ticket longer than three months. Will the airline or immigration question this because of the 90 Visa Rule. I will be leaving the country for 90 day rule, not just sure where or when.

No problem. I do it all the time. I have been asked to show my itinerary when re-enter at the CR border coming back from Panama. So print a copy before you go. Also don't over stay your 90 or they could exclude you.

Has any of the 20,500 members of CRT ever been excluded

I recently read a post on another forum from a gringo with residency in CR who was almost denied boarding by CO in the US because his return was >90 days. He showed his cedula and was allowed to travel.

If this was pulled on me I would call BS on the agent. What if you plan to tour around Central America for a year and then return from CR. You are not overstaying your 90 days. How do they know?

One thing that many perpetual tourists do is buy a bus ticket to Nicaragua and use that as proof that you intend to leave the country. They cost ~ $15, are not dated and do not expire. Just something to keep in your hip pocket.

Most likely not but that might be because probably at least 50% of them never set foot in Costa Rica. :lol:

My flights originate in CR and return to CR. When I return to CR, Continental always wants me to show evidence that I am a resident. The agent who first asked me to show evidence said that if I am not allowed to stay there, Continental will be stuck with providing the return flight.

On my trip last month, the flight was ready to leave; the 737 was at the end of the runway pushing up the engines to take off when we were called back to the area where they park the private jets at Juan Santamaria. It is the area where the CR government hanger is located.

CR Immigration Police put a passenger on the plane who was denied entry into CR. The pilot explained that the airlines are required by contract to take passengers back on the next available flight.

Fortunately, I fly into and out of Pensacola in the States. They have no clue about foreign customs, so I am lucky. In 10 years I have never been asked when re-entering Costa Rica. Wasn't asked last week at the Nicaraguan border either. But, you never know. I could get asked next time. I have a bus ticket to Panama that doesn't have dates and is open. Although, to feel safe, you can doctor an expedia or travelocity document pretty easily.

I agree. This is rather easy to do and should suffice.

All this asks for the question (and this may have been covered in another Thread): Why would you continue to be a Perpetual Tourist and not at some point apply for Permanent Residency, if you're pretty well assured you're going to be in CR a long time, or own a business? What's the downside to Permanent Residency? What's the upside to Perpetual Tourism?

Well, for me, because it's a huge sum of money you have to have sitting in a bank earning minimal interest.

I know several guys who have been waiting on residency for 5/plus years. They get everything in order, wait, then the documents expire and they start all over again.

Another business owner here did his days out and was at 91 days, but sailed through immigration smoothly both going out and coming in. Another was over for a few days and went to Bocas de Toro. The agent acted as if murder, well not murder as it is leniently treated here, but took him aside and in the most grave tones said how serious the situation was. After a gratuity, he told him he could return to San Jose without worry.
