I've got several questions and will list them by numbers. So if you answer, please specify which issue you're responding to.
I'm a US citizen and my wife was naturalized several years back, but she still holds here dual citizenship and both of my children hold dual citizenship. Next year, we will be married 10 years and wanting to move after the anniversary to take advantage of the duty exemption. We plan on sending down a full 40' shipping container with all of our household items and other furniture purchased to fill the house that we're building.
Question #1
I've already started making my customs packing list of items that we've already stored in a storage unit. The reading of the law is a little confusing, but I think I'm interpreting correct. What is the official law interpretation for a Returning Nicaraguan citizen to move their goods back to Nicaragua? Is it 10 years, then you're good? $250,000 limit? We're not bringing a vehicle.
Question #2
What is the official process of establishing permanent residence for me, the US citizen? Do I need to stay in the country for a certain duration? Or due to my married status, is it instant with completed paperwork? I will continue working in the US. My work rotation has me being able to be in Nicaragua for 2 weeks, then I'd return to the US for 2 weeks work rotation. I also read something about after becoming a Nicaragua Permanent resident, that I'd need a VISA to leave the country. Is this true?
Question #3
For the 2 issues above, do I need to be in Nicaragua to apply? I have a trip planned within the next few months to finish up the house and want to be sure that I acquire anything that I'll need in case I have to apply there and can't do it here in the US through one of the Consulate offices.
Any help or suggestions to make this any easier would be greatly appreciated.
