RETIRE IN COSTA RICA

Why think of retirement in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is the ideal place for retirement because of its pleasant year-round climate, abundant nature and the friendliness of its people.

The country’s political stability and well established democratic institutions are amongst other principal reasons that have encouraged many foreigners to move here. Its strategic location, in the middle of the Americas, makes it very accessible and close to many other countries.

The living expenses are quite reasonable, so that the income from a typical pension usually goes a longer way in Costa Rica.

The American and European foreign communities are quite large, making the country an exotic adventure and an exciting change of pace and lifestyle.
As when moving to any other country, foreigners will find that different customs exist, as compared to those of their country of origin. The advantage is that Costa Rican people are warm and friendly, which makes it easy for a foreigner to quickly adapt.

There are some legal issues that must be taken into consideration when retiring in Costa Rica. Several types of residency can be obtained. In order to qualify for the “retired” resident status you must have in income of at least $600 a month. The “rentista” status requires that you have an income of at least $1,000 a month for at least five years. In both cases, they have to be renewed every two years.

A wide variety of ecological tours and trips can be found to our beautiful beaches, volcanoes and national parks. Other activities such as bird watching, horse back riding, scuba diving, can be enjoyed in the different areas of the country. On the other hand, Costa Rica offers plenty of social and cultural events, for example art exhibits, plays and concerts. Many well know tourism companies serve both tourists and newcomers, offering attractive packages.
