Outstanding video! I’ll definitely connect with you when I’m ready.
Can I send this list to wife and tell her to get going? lol. Sometimes you do wonder if people are afraid to reach out to a pro for the info or dont want to pay for the service that will save money short and long term. The Facebook book groups are ok for some things, but not to advise a person/family for a life changing info. This wouldnt be the time to save money....if that is what they are thinking. Good info Sarah.
Sarah Elena, de nuevo me comunico para preguntarle si sabe como hacer con el correo. Mail from the states, I am in Playa Grande and not sure how to send mail there, if I need to find a POBox in Tamarindo?, I am from CR and have a house there but my daughter is thinking to move there at the end of this year 2024.
I have no pets and no meds. Do you only work with Costa Rica?, because I am very interested in leaving the has-been corrupt USA to move to Ecuador. But I am watching some videos about other similar countries, as the issues tend to be similar.
Another great video!
I'm pet free at the moment, thinking to wait till I get there and then get new fur babies.
Thoughts???
Not having any pets is one step closer to getting away from the Western Countries Are Old And Dying, according to a Nomad Capitalist video of much of that same title.
If you did have a pet, if it is small, it may be able to ride with you in the airplane, or so I have heard, not an expert yet, but a dog of any significant size is probably going to have to go in a pet carrier checked as luggage. Likely costs extra I suspect. And you have to have proof of shots or whatever to make it complicated. The pet needs to be acclimated to its carrier before the trip, by keeping it in their living area, or having it live in it with the door open. This is just what I have heard, somebody with pets who has made such a move, would likely know better than I would.
Good idea I think to just wait until after the move, to add the complication of pets. Although pets would likely love their new home, just so long as they are still with you. The move has to be mystifying to them though. Hard for them to understand the travel separation.
sara, although i bought a place back in oct it was never brought up about home insurance for theft, fire disaster etc..do they have this in c.r... not even my lawyer in santa ana said anything...
Yes get home insurance! Email me for a recommendation. I have full insurance on both of mine. It’s about $74/mo for the one I have for sale since I added liability because it’s being rented. But I think it came out to $28 otherwise?
@@SarahElenaDesignsLife good stuff...
Add on the road map, and bring mosquito spray.
@@erichertzen3251 yes that would be under your packing section
Great information!
Hey Sara, I was just down there on the west coast and was curious about the fires? I noticed a lot of areas that were burned and is this a normal factor to consider ?
Sorry to tell you. But is very possible , you don’t have to be rich . Just learn how to work from the internet remotely. And you can live your best life jet. I am Panamanian leaving abroad. I go back and forth. 6 months of the year in PTY and 6 months in USA. Blessings to all 👍🙏😎🇵🇦🌎
oh why is it called la sarah ??
I made that brand years ago before this business all came out and now it’s too late to change it 😅
Can I rent an appartment on a tourist visa and make border runs? I heared sometimes they just gave two weeks of entry permit.
Yes you can. Make sure you have a return ticket showing you’re leaving before the 180 days. But don’t make the return ticket for 14 days after you arrive. That’s why that can happen.
@@SarahElenaDesignsLife thank you, good to know.
I would think that if you need to make border runs, then you probably need a stronger visa. If you can qualify? But if the goal is a temporary stay, maybe that still works? A decade ago when I was a volunteer in Israel, I had a roommate who made a border run, and he was given another 90 days. I had to go back home per my airplane ticket, just the single 90 day standard tourist visa due to family needed me to come home anyway. I was glad to stay such a long time in Israel, because I was seriously considering leaving my decaying immoral USA for good, so I needed to know if I could live in another place. Had I done the usual religious pilgrimage like most people do, I would have been back home before I knew where I was. Now after the plan-demic and the whole world went crazy, I am thinking maybe Israel is not the place for me, although I did have a couple of good visits (I went the year before also). The place where I volunteered provided housing and food, the year before I stayed at a hostel, as I was on a very limited budget. Being between jobs was a big part of the reason I was free to go on the trip anyhow. Now I am exploring Ecuador. Lower cost of living, more freedom, nicer people, those are some of the things I am looking for, probably better climate also.
@@yosefmacgruber1920 a visa is not easy, you need to invest 150 k in CR. I heared that people was offered a visa after several years of making border runs.
@@WolfF2022
And where am I supposed to get $150K? And can that be for a house, as I need a place to live anyway? Ecuador sounds to be a lot more affordable. Only $46K for the Residency/Citizenship by Investment and it can be your property to live in. I seem to be hearing too many things against CR that could be okay for Ecuador. But where do I find those good house deals to find a 3-bedroom or around 2000 square feet or 200 square meters, at a price I can afford? I do not need beachfront or a view nor big windows, but a paved street could be nice. I do not need a beautiful kitchen but I might buy 2 refrigerators. Old basic kitchen could work. Should I look for a barn conversion, since what I need is lots of space? I tend to be a pack-rat and I want to bring all my stuff. Also, I hope that I might be able to marry and have many children. But at my age, maybe it will not happen?
But I read that the annual car registration is a headache nightmare in Ecuador, comparatively very simple in the U.S., but that is an outdated book I am reading that goes back to 2010. Do I need a car anymore? In the U.S., not having a car is almost like being homeless. We can hardly go anywhere without a car. Being retired by then, maybe too hard to work a job in a new country, I might sit at home a lot, but I would want to go to church meals/activities. If I can finally afford it, I might start eating out more, which is a budget killer in the has-been U.S.
Also read of somebody who brought a van, but by 4 months, sold the van after replacing 4 tires and destroying the suspension, and got a truck. Need 4-wheel drive truck or SUV due to terrible dirt roads that wash out in the rainy season. Maybe that was CR? No, I think that was Ireland.
Stupid countries should not be requiring border runs. Should offer more reasonable visa options.
Step number one. Be rich, otherwise forget it. And don't be a bragger, once there. It's ugly.
