An associate told me it is possible to become a resident of Puerto Rico, obtain a driver's license, start a business employing 3 people and obtain an exemption for US capital gains taxes. Is this true? If so, is there a government website which lists the current requirements for so doing?
Would you describe Puerto Rico as safe?
What programs are offered to attract retirees 65 and over?
Is the electrical grid in PR the same as the US or does one need an adapter for appliances?
I understand the driest part of the island is the South coast. True?
Is there a good website for cost of living data? I'm especially interested in rental housing costs?
How would you describe cell phone and internet service?
Transportation: Where is there good public transportation? Is it possible to function without a car?
Is it possible to buy fresh, organic fruits and veggies grown on the island or are these items imported?
Are there small towns, within 60 minutes of a large city, with public transportation and close proximity to the water?
How would you describe the expat community?
Are there insect problems? Mosquitos? Fleas? Flys?
Can you drink the water right out of the tap or is bottled water necessary?
Are the sewerage treatment facilities adequate?
Thank you.
