thimbronion |
Congrats man! What visa? |
| 22:14 |
whaack |
atm I'm going to go with rentista |
| 22:15 |
thimbronion |
Ah ok. Makes sense. |
| 22:18 |
whaack |
if bitcoin goes up by a factor of 10 between now and then i'll probably try to do the property purchase route |

It's worth considering given how annoying it is to make monthly deposits and pay into caja. |
| 22:19 |
whaack |
haha |
| 22:19 |

I figured that could be "scripted" but perhaps not so simply |

thimbronion: re: monthly deposits, have you considered offering full year lease in advance? |
| 22:21 |
billymg |
most landlords happy to take that deal |
| 22:22 |
thimbronion |
billymg: I haven't. I was referring to the requirement to just deposit 2500/mo into any CR bank, though. |
| 22:23 |
billymg |
ah, right, that |

~ 1 hours 20 minutes ~ |

whaack: how much property, at minimum, does one have to buy for this deal ? ( can buy e.g. parking spot, and qualify..? ) |
| 23:43 |
whaack |
it's either $200,000 or $250,000 worth |
| 23:43 |
whaack |
i forget which of the 2 |
| 23:44 |

iirc that's ~4x cheaper than europistan, for example |
| 23:45 |

the easier route is to show you can transfer $2500 a month to a CR bank account for 24 months in a row, from my understanding you need to setup a type of trustfund account in the US with $60,000 to show you can complete the payments |

In Panama you can get residency by just putting 5 grand in an account, and apparently you can take 95% or so of it out right after you make the account |
| 23:46 |

whaack: can't simply tx 60k ? |
| 23:46 |
whaack |
asciilifeform: I'm not sure, but I think possibly not since thimbronion is complaining about having to always remember to do the 2.5k transfer |
| 23:46 |
asciilifeform |
or wait, all of these dun get you passport, but only equiv. of usa's 'green card'..? |
| 23:47 |
whaack |
correct, it doesn't give you a passport |
| 23:51 |
whaack |
argueably not worth going through the trouble as many people live here no problem without residency |
