Costa Rica Facts Kids

We are considering moving to Costa Rica ….?

We live in Florida now speak fluent Spanish since Latinos originated 3 now and will soon = 5) Our main problem is the cost of living, especially to have three children that you have already visited our site and I love him, but not really abreast of real life as the cost of living in general, safety, neighborhoods safer and better quality of life, health insurance, the cost of private schools, etc. Also how is the immigration process in terms roles, can easily move or need to have a point of visa? Thank you for taking the time to give us the information =)

As with all countries, Costa Rica has good things and bad things, even the U.S. has good things and bad things. Accommodation: You will pay about $ 1500 – 2000 $ For a condo or apt Nice with security, pool, 3-4 bedrooms. I recommend you Escazu and Santa Ana that are the best places to live. Utilities: You Expect to pay about $ 100 per month for electricity, $ 20 in water, and about $ 25 for a landline. Internet and Cable: Approximately $ 66 per month Cell phone: Should I expect to pay $ 30 for each cel phone with the basic plan (no internet, no delay). You should know that cel phones are legal residents. Clothing: My best estimate is about $ 150 per adult and $ 100 per child. Private schools: Private schools are better Lincoln School ($ 550 per month), Blue Valley ($ 500), Pan American School ($ 650), day camp ($ 825) UK (British School) ($ 500). There are many other private schools of good quality with lower prices, such as Anglo American and SEK. Insurance: it has a universal health coverage, but there are long lines. My recommendation is to take out insurance expat that can be used in a three private hospitals (CIMA, Clinica Biblica Hospital and Catholic). Jobs: There are a lot of demand for bilingual workers. If you have a degree college should have no trouble finding a good job. It is difficult to say how should expect to win and I have no idea of their skills and work experience. My brother for example, who is 25 years, with nearly 2 years of experience earns about $ 2,500. It is a graduate of the United States Purdue University. There are many multinationals moving here a few regional operations that require a master of English, is Intel, HP, Dole and Citi with large operations here. In other words, to live a very nice (upscale lifestyle) would be necessary in about $ 5,000 per month. It depends on your skills if you win a prize. As regards a work permit, I have no idea how they work, lawyer but a law firm good could answer this question. Everything I have provided amounts are based on my budget, so if I a lot of research about my spending. My monthly expenses average about $ 3,500. This includes international health insurance, car, and about $ 750 rent. So my proposal is $ 5,000 plus my additional costs of rent, food and tuition. Hope this helps.
