I won’t argue — we were uninformed on details that our relocation company should have disclosed. Finding out that additional documentation was needed so late in the process is definitely stressful. And yes, I do say that having an export permit for our cat is a bit odd; even more so for permission to take our own daughter out. Never seen that one before. And yes, I do love a good cheese.

Things are rarely easier just because of a relocation. More familiar, maybe.

Gah. “Cold snap” is putting it mildly…

Hang in there! It will all be over soon……

Unfortunately, it looks like you will be arriving back just in time for a cold snap. BRRR

A little cheese with that whine?? Sure there is a lot of bureaucracy but with all due respect it is not Costa Rican fault that you didn’t start your process with enough time. If your travel agent didn’t tell you or didn’t know about it, it’s her fault, she should have known or research or you guys should have asked your vet before…
Sure there’s a lot of bureaucracy in CR and is awful and should be removed!, but where isn’t? Same thing happens to us when we have to apply for a visa or something from the US or Canada…
But hey! at least your heading back to your country I guess everything will be a lot easier for you… have a great trip!
