How to cancel temporary residency

Good subject. A couple of points:

1. Your 6 months visa isn't guaranteed, the length of stay is up to the discretion of the immigration officer. You can get even 10 days.
2. Laws in this country can exist but not necessarily followed. Be careful, this is not Europe, the US or Canada.
3. Cancelling your residence? Better consult a lawyer. As to me, I believe once 2 years of a temp residence are over and you don't extend it, you are converted into a tourist subject to the valid visa.

And also, you won't be eligible to use the national health service, the CAJA.

What's more, should you misbehave, you are subject to immediate deportation. Maybe best to always carry a toothbrush.

And don't forget, you won't be eligible to get a Costa Rican driver's license, so you'll have to keep a U.S. license current.

I am looking into this as caja is killing me, migra will not permit the change to matrimonio permanent (unlawfully I believe) and all that pura vida...
