Move to Guanacaste — the free checklist

Why this one is different

It doesn't tell you the rules. That's the point.

Every other relocation guide sells you requirements and categories. Those change, they vary by nationality, and a PDF goes stale the moment it's written — someone reads it in March, acts on it in September, and the requirement has moved.

Not in here

Rules that go stale

No residency categories. No tax explanations. No "what visa you should get." Nothing presented as a rule, because I'd get it wrong and it's your life.

In here

The part nobody writes

The order things have to happen in, what genuinely takes longer than you expect, and the exact questions to take to a lawyer and an accountant.

What's inside

Eight pages, no padding

The two things to do before you come — and the long list of things that can wait, which is most of them.
The first weeks, in sequence. Several of these are locked behind each other, and doing them out of order is where people lose weeks.
The questions to ask an immigration lawyer and an accountant — including the one question that gets you the twenty years of experience you're paying for.
Getting around Guanacaste — the honest trade-off between a 4×4, a small motorcycle and the bus, and what the roads actually demand.
What nobody puts in the brochure — the two seasons, the operating speed, and the cost nobody lists in colónes.
How to verify all of it yourself, because the summary is never the source.

Who it's for

Honest about who this helps

People deciding

You're seriously considering it and drowning in forum posts that contradict each other.

People arriving

You've committed and want the sequence so the first month isn't three months.

Not for you if…

You want someone to tell you which visa to apply for. I won't, and you shouldn't trust anyone who does it in a free PDF.

Who's writing this

One tiny motorcycle, one year, every beach I can get to

I moved to Playas del Coco and bought a 110cc Honda Navi — the least suitable motorcycle in Costa Rica — and I'm riding it to as many beaches in Guanacaste as I can reach in a year. It's all on the channel: the real costs with receipts, the mistakes, and the days it didn't work.

What's free on the channel

What a week here actually costs, with receipts on screen · what I got wrong in the first 90 days · what a doctor's visit cost me, itemised · how I actually pay for this.

The honesty rule

Nothing on the channel is faked and no number is invented. That's the whole asset — and it's why this checklist refuses to tell you the rules.
