International Living

Costa Rica is not a “new” destination for International Living. Through the 1990s, the market boomed. Prices for beachfront property along the Pacific Coast increased 6-, 8-, 10-fold and more… But as property prices rose in Costa Rica, we (and our readers) began looking elsewhere. Today, when things are changing again, it makes sense for you to take a look at this darling of Central America. We have gathered together all the essential information you will need to give you a head start in enjoying the benefits of this beautiful and exciting country in Escape to Costa Rica - Everything You Need to Know to Retire Better, Invest Well, and Enjoy the Good Life for Less.

In this video presentation, U.S. educated Costa Rican attorney Roger Peterson shares with you the nuts and bolts and perks of starting a business in Costa Rica, including how to set up 100% foreign-owned corporations, knowing when you need a permit and when you don’t (it depends on how you earn an income), how to tap into free support from government agencies who want to help new businesses, cultural differences to be aware of so you can succeed faster, and much more.

If you want to live in Costa Rica…but you think you can’t afford to quit work…or you think your retirement funds are too small…this video presentation shows you how to make it happen, without having to worry about age discrimination or dress codes.
