Now we talk about pets leaving Costa Rica
As of February 2009, the TSA in the USA will not allow anyone to book their own pet as cargo coming into the US. As excess baggage if you are on the same plane, no problem. But as manifest cargo, you will have a problem as TSA will not allow anyone that is not a known shipper to book a pet into the US on an airline carrier flying into the US.

Well it has happened again….I didn’t think it would ever pass but I was wrong. President Arias has signed the bill into law. On Wednesday the 19th of August the bill became a law changing the amount for Pensinado’s required to have in income and several other changes.
The amount that Pensinado’s must now have to file for residency has gone from $600 a month to $1000 a month. This is NOT retro-active so it will not affect those pensinado’s that have been in the...

The cost to replace a house full of furniture and household items can far exceed the cost of bringing down what you already have in the States. This is a rule that fits a larger family. If you have a family of 5 for instance and a...

Same Sex Marriage in Costa Rica
From Costa Rica Relocation, 2 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
This week the Sala IV constitutional court has rejected an appeal against a section of family law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. A lawyer filed the appeal which, if accepted, it would have opened the door in Costa Rica for same-sex marriages.
With the strong religious beliefs of this country, I do not believe that this law will ever be turned over. The country is 80% Catholic.
