Which country is easiest to enter?
Costa Rica is a good place to retire.You have to prove your income and savings before you can retire there, and if you decide to open a business, you won’t be allowed to work in it! You must hire local people to do everything-including managing it.
Also, you have to leave every 3 months, and then re-enter, until your status as a foreign retiree is accepted, I think– I don’t remember all of the particulars on that point, but just know it should be part of your plan to budget leaving the country every few months, until your status is settled. I checked it out, for a possible retirement locale. I’m still looking. Costa Rica did have some benefits: Health insurance is cheaper there, and, depending where you live, so are utilities. There is a live volcano on Costa Rica.
( Not a +, in my opinion.) The ocean-front real estate is being built up now, because of a new highway that is linking previously remote sites to the capitol city, and airport.So, the coastal real estate prices are rising significantly. Some of the major hotel chains are building hotel/condos on the coast. If you want to live in the city or the mountains, there are some real good values there.
You are not going to get a good answer on where to live on this forum.( I wrote the same question some months back, and it was a complete waste of time to read the answers.) But, a good place to start is the International Living website. The website is www.internationalliving.com. The only thing is, they send you so much email to buy their products, you may want to open up an email address just dedicated to your search for overseas retirement alternatives–so you don’t get smothered in spam! Hope this helps! I am still looking because what I really want is my U.S. life at half the price, and that isn’t what you get when you leave the country…happy hunting.
