$60,000 deposit for Rentista Visa

9 years ago

Apparently if I deposit $60,000 in a Costa Rican bank ( and otherwise qualify ), I can get a rentista residence.

This $60,000 is equal to the sum total of $2,500 / month minimum income for two years, which I otherwise would have to demonstrate.

Let us suppose I deposit the $60,000 and obtain rentista residence. Can I thereupon withdraw the $60,000?

In particular, my reasons for considering moving to Costa Rica are that I am on the ACA because of pre-existing medical conditions. Should the Supreme Court gut the ACA, then I would need otherwise to have access to medical care.

One apparent option would be to move to Costa Rica for a few years until I qualify for Medicare. Yes, I know about Costa Rica's socialized program.

But a nice little $60,000 war chest to meet unexpected serious conditions for private care would fit in nicely in this overall arrangement.

Also, does Costa Rica have something like FDIC?
