Hi,
I just went through 6 months of trying to get retiree residency.....(I just gave up last week). The immigration people were not the problem, in fact they were ready to stamp me in the first visit, because I donate thousands of dollars a year in baseball equipment. It was Intur that was a problem. They wanted endless documentation......every time I brought paperwork, they wanted more. I showed them 5 years of original bank statements of 4 different banks, that clearly illustrated that I covered the minimum requirement by 17 times (per month). Still, it was not enough; they wanted it all translated to Spanish and authenticated 4 times (in Vancouver, Ottawa, Washington D.C. And finally at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Managua). The cost was going to be more than getting an investment residency!
Anyways, if you need a place......I'm looking for a resident caretaker at my property on Isla Ometepe. On the beach, where I'm building a theme hotel.
