Costa Rica is a unique tropical retirement paradise which offers inexpensive living and retirement, the opportunity to start over, the chance to learn Spanish, gentle breezes, lots of great outdoor sports, stunning scenery with sun-soaked shores and beautiful beaches and spectacular mountains. Add to all this a peaceful nation with this political stability and year round spring-like weather in the Central Valley, the friendly people who actually like Americans and it is easy to see why Costa Rica has become tops on the list of expatriate and Baby Boomer havens.
There are many advantages that make Costa Rica the perfect destination for your retirement plans. Healthcare in Costa Rica is relatively inexpensive and up to first-world standards with doctors who have been trained in the U.S. or Europe. A excellent educational system exists for those retirees who bring children under the age of 18 or want to continue their education.
Living in Costa Rica is relatively easy to arrange as anyone 45 years or older can apply for the easy-to-relocate retirement system set up by the Costa Rican government. Qualified retirees are eligible for benefits including specific tax exemptions and incentives. Best of all, you do not have to pay tax on your retirement income in Costa Rica!
A very low incidence of violent crime (no society is crime free), a wealth of every imaginable activity to stay busy and happy, two excellent English newspapers, cable and Direct TV with all of the U.S. channels and a myriad of exciting business opportunities for enterprising foreigners, all help to contribute to the country's excellent reputation as a place to live with an excellent quality of life.
