Do you go to San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua at the end of your visa? We used to do that back in '08-'09. Lots of fun!

Residents no longer receive a passport stamp when arriving by air or sea. What is the impact on driving legally if your passport has no stamp and you are stopped by transit police

Can I convert tourist visa to residency in Costa Rica?

I am in the process of filing for residency - just gotta get a bank account open. Once I get my "golden ticket" showing that I am just awaiting approval, does that mean I don't have to worry about the driver's license situation, or do I still have to leave and come back? If so, is there an alternative, like an international driver's license?

@Dd214medaddy Жыл бұрын

there is no alternative, and you still need to leave every 90 days to legally drive. If you are pulled over you will get a steep fine and a big chance your plates will be taken from the vehicle with an additional fine. we are parents of a tico with a permanent residency application and are currently on month 6th of our application, and have been told its possible it can take up to 18th months

@@SarahElenaDesignsLife "You still need to renew your visa every 180 days to legally drive..." Wait, did they fix things??? I have my "golden ticket" while waiting for my residency paperwork to be processed (on month 5 now), but despite the 180-day visa upgrade for tourists, I have still been leaving every 90 days to reset my driving privileges. Are driving privileges synced up to be 180 days now too?

@@Kattywagon29 Hi there ! No you’re right. It is the 90 days still. I have one of my assistants assisting with replying to comments. It IS still 90 days.

I know this a different subject but since you know so much about Costa Rica….. I have learned that you need a passport to sail on a cruise that makes a port stop in Limon, Costa Rica. However some people that are going on the same cruise are arguing that you DON’T! Do you have any insight? We have passports of course!

@SarahElenaDesignsLife 11 ай бұрын

For U.S. citizens, a valid passport is required for entry into Costa Rica. This means that if your cruise includes a port stop at Limon, Costa Rica, you will need to have a valid passport with you. Additionally, the passport should be valid for at least six months beyond your planned date of departure from Costa Rica

I have read that your passport needs to be valid for one day longer than your stay. Can you please clarify what you mean by needing to have your passport valid for 6 months beyond your stay?

Question: Does being a "perpetual tourist" negatively affect one's ability to own property in CR? I prefer to have 1 foot in the US and 1 foot down there, in the future, but inquiring minds want to know.

@SarahElenaDesignsLife 8 ай бұрын

You can own property being a tourist, that's totally fine
