Thanks for the info. I don't think we will be able to go that route then! Have you heard about the possibilities of coming down for 3 months a year and doing a telecommute/holiday? Is that considered illegal? That is just arriving as a tourist for 3 months and during that time doing telecommuting? Thanks again for all the info! OUCH! Thanks for the info.

It is proof that you have sufficient resources to live here for 5 years without needing to work. So yes, you WILL need 60K and remember that is 60K EACH for you and your husband (120K) and I believe a deposit also due for the kids. Residency rules change, so always best to check with http://www.arcr.net to see what are the current laws affecting you. The 60K has nothing to do with a business.

My husband does this and our family would like to move to CR to do this. He works for a US company. Would we apply under the Rentista and if so would we still have to put $60,000 in a CR bank, even though we are not starting a business in CR? Thanks! You had mentioned that one could telecommute.

I am Canadian and he is landed immigrant from Chile. We hope to seek a less stressfull, more real/deeper upbringing for our children (9 & 10). We want them to experience another culture, learn another language, expand their horizons. My husband and I are both adventurous, open to new experiences, and willing to work hard for what we want. Our dream has always been to run a restaurant or a B&B somewhere in the world where we and our children could maximize our life experience. We were hoping that Costa Rica would be that place. Any advice to our plans? How can we open/buy a restaurant or B&B and follow CR employment regulations etc? My husband and I are considering moving to Costa Rica next year.
