So many questions!!!

20 years ago
My husband and I are looking to move to Costa Rica. We will be coming to visit in a month or two.The question I have is when we move, how much is it to bring your own vehicle? Is the shipping outragous? What about the taxes? We would like to bring our 4 wheel drive there but we heard it was very costly. Would it be better to buy something there? And the other thing is we want to open a bar/restaurant can you own a business and work there as long as we hire Tico's too?The one other question I have is we are in the process of getting our passport. Is it easier to get a residency when we go to visit or start it when we actually move there? You can e-mail me with any thoughts or anything you can tell me about Costa Rica. Anything would be appreciated my e-mail address is [email protected].
