You have to be a citizen, permanent resident or get a special residency for investors to have the ability to work. Tourists can't work and neither can <em>rentistas</em> (the special residency for people who stick some $60k per person into a bank for 5 yrs of income). The solution is to work on the internet. Create a business or do affiliate marketing. It might be a good idea to do something like that in your spare time anyway as it seems that the economy in the US is teetering on the edge. At the least, you'll have a chance to do something where you're the boss.

My family and I are planning a trip out to CR later this year to attend a Spanish language school for a couple of months. During that time, we will travel the country on the weekends. We have considered the possibility of moving there but have been told that it is very difficult, as an American, to find work. Have any thoughts or suggestions? I have enjoyed reading your blog.
