Buying a scooter
I can buy a motorbike only if new or fresh import, i.e., no registration/license plate yet. Then, I pay for the license plate; do I have to register it on my name too? Anything else, e.g. regular tax, for ownership, road use, etc.? Am I obliged to ... Read More

Relocating to Nicaragua by gyorgy
Hi, I am to relocate from Vietnam to Nicaragua. Which is the best beach town for a calm, low-cost living. Safety as to both diseases and crime, smooth water for swimming preferred. I don't have regular income but a bank account over a few ...
Yes, that is the right way if you qualify. However, for that you need to prove a sufficient regular income, which I can't. I asked the immigration office if they accept a solid bank account instead but they said no. Read More

Thanks. Is there no time limit, or number of occasions, how long I need to stay out of Nicaragua to return and get another 90 days, or how many consecutive times can I do this? Read More
Safe and quiet place in Limon city? by gyorgy
I plan to stay three months in Costa Rica and fancy Limon city as something unique. I've seen some warning of crime, is this serious if I lead a modest, thrifty lifestyle? Also I've seen that this city is laid-back during the day but ...
edwinemora, it's not the old port dumps. The bay of Puerto Angel, where I stay now, is the most beautiful place on Earth. I dare say so having been to the Riviera, Thai beaches, and even Waikiki. And I prefer local environs to McDonald, etc. ... Read More

Sim cards in Mexico by gyorgy
I've looked up what sim card to buy in Mexico, and much to my surprise, only found those with days validity. Locals obviously keep their phone number for years. How can I find which sim to buy for at least half a year?
I've been living in Vietnam, before that in Thailand. I have an old-type Nokia phone (call and sms only), and don't wish to change that. I used Thai or Viet sims, both for years. My bank is in Singapore. And I'm European. Will this ... Read More

So Mexico lets me stay for half a year but won't let me buy a phone number for all that. The longest version that I've found was 30 days but it wasn't quite clear. Could you tell me in detail how to get that? I don't care data, my ... Read More
