How difficult and what is the process/requirements for obtaining a retirement visa for Costa Rica? I have researched some, but would prefer first-hand information... For those that live there full time and/or are retired there, what are your pros and cons of the place? What made you choose to live there permanently? |

There is no "retirement visa". You may mean pensando temporary residency. You have to have a monthly, for-life pension of at least $1000 per month. An annuity will not work unless the financial institution will attest that it is for-life. Some people do it themselves. Others use an attorney. You need an apostilled birth certificate; criminal check, and so on. It may take over a year. It is valid for two years. After three years you can become a permanent resident. All residents have to pay into the CAJA (national health / social security). Do a Google search on "Costa Rica residency". There are two other forms expats use - rentenista and investenista. Some people are perpetual tourists - do a border run every 90 days. |
