Excellent as always - Imperials on me next week if I run into you Mike

This is the information that people REALLY need!!

[sandrabedard]

We have Arizona drivers license because we moved here from there. Our license is good for 5 years . We started residency before we moved here. ( We knew we wanted to ) we have a CR bank account also including USA. We have Caja also because we are residents. Have a blessed day ❤️

[TonyPerez]

I opened a Schwab bank account exclusively for use in CR. I've been in CR for over two months. I have withdrawn more than 20 times with the Schwab card and they refund the fees. So no need to bring cash.

[fazbell]

Smartest CR channel on YouTube. Thanks.

[ladyb]

Good video, thanks for that vital list of information.

[richardlabonte]

A couple if things to note. Telling people about the banking problems only involve people doing business. If you are retired, you do not have these problems. Simply inform your bank where you are, and they will allow transactions on your credit card. There will be fees depending on the bank.
Tell people many medications that are prescribed in the US are sometimes over the counter here. Real important! An example are some depression meds. On the other side, mention things like asprin and ibuprofen are very expensive here, whereas some others are extremely cheap. Pura Vida.
BTW, I've been living in CR many years also, started in the central valley, moved to Arenal, and now outside of Ciudad Quesada. Be safe.

I wanted to thank you for this tip specifically on Charles Schwab international. I have accounts at Schwab and Ed Jones and Jones told me I could not have an account with them if I was living outside of the US. I didn't ask Schwab but I know too now, thanks again,

New too the channel, stumbled upon your videos while researching. So much great information. been to Costa Rica twice already in the past year and on my way back in a couple days. so much informative stuff. I have to give you a big thanks, after my first visit had such a problem with car rental second time just as bad. this time we are using one of your contacts Thanks so much for the info. if we are in the area wewill reach out and if available catch a beer or two. just a few words to say thanks and please keep the videos coming...

[paulvta]

Great info Mike, I always keep a spare credit card at home / hotel for emergencies, just in case you loose your debit card, other credit cards or wallet.

[Keith-jlll]

Good info Michael. And just to add BCR bank charging 30% for PayPal is ridiculous. Also, to your point, I sent my kid up to college with $9, 500 for his rent and food a few weeks ago and they detained him for two hours in the Juan Santamaría airport. Luckily, by chance, we had a close tica friend who was also a US lawyer in the airport that burst through the doors and got the kid out of that situation.

[choperzadventures]

As always...another great video Mike, well delivered, and full of great "I never thought of that" information. Much appreciated. See ya later. Choperz...out
