was wondwering if we get residency as investors( we meet all requirements) how does CAJA figure out what to charge us.

Do they charge pensionados 13% on their income? If so...if you had a pension of $4000 would they charge you $520 a month???? Ouch...seems very expensive ....

Thanks for any info ..Dave

be careful with residency as an investor. It could be the after you qualify as the investor and the owner of the property or business that allows you residency, you and not your family will be covered. They determine what you pay into social sec on an individual basis. the evaluate your income and decide from there.
