The Nicaragua Lifestyle Conference
Entrepreneurs, investors, retirees – expats and future expats, all of those headed to Nicaragua for business, retirement, or to buy that vacation home by the beach, the Nicaragua Lifestyle Conference May 15, 2013 in Managua is designed with these people in mind.
How you navigate the decision to move offshore, relocate your business, your life, obtain the correct visas – will often determine the success of your plan to move to overseas. It's all in the preparation and research you do before you make the big leap abroad. Whatever your reason for leaving your native land, whether it's the high cost of healthcare, the politics, the economy or even the fact that you're tired of winter and just want to live on a beach somewhere, there are still some factors you'll need to work out before you pack up lock, stock and barrel.
That's why we've created a conference that will present all the facts for those who are going to follow through with their dreams and live overseas. The Nicaragua Lifestyle Conference has got a lineup you won't want to miss. "Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory", so said one of those wise old men philosophers, Miguel de Cervantes.
Mike Cobb, CEO and Chairman of ECI Development who's spoken at hundreds of international conferences about real estate financing and development will give a presentation on, "The 15 Due Diligence Questions You Must Ask When Buying Property Overseas". Don't even sign on the dotted line for that dream house until you hear what Mike has to say.
Whether you're planning to invest in real estate for that vacation home, as a permanent resident or with business interests, Chale Espinosa will be presenting on the topic of investing in real estate in Nicaragua. Mr. Espinosa has a vast knowledge and expertise in the financial industry having worked as an investment, commercial, trade and private banker for Chase Manhattan Bank N.A (Puerto Rico, Mexico and New York) and the Citizens and Southern Bank (acquired by Bank of America) and Standard Chartered Bank Plc. He's got some wise words to share with us.
Attorney and Managing Partner of the law firm Garcia & Bodan (G & B) in San Juan del Sur, Mr. Sergio Corrales will speak at our conference on how to navigate the Nicaraguan legal system. It's not the same world anymore and every country has its own system. Mr. Corrales will give the facts on Nicaragua's legal system. His presentation is especially geared to American and Canadian guests featuring important need-to-know information for newcomers to Nicaragua. Immigration, obtaining the correct visas and official permissions to do what you want in Nicaragua is one of the first steps. Immigrating to any foreign country is often a complicated process. You can learn how to simplify the process of residency and immigration and get the visa and lifestyle you want.
"Use Your Head and Not Just Your Heart When Buying Your Overseas Retirement" will be something we should all consider when we've found that "dream house by the sea". Title Coordinator, Maria Amanda Hurtado, of Title Coordination Services (TCS) will be telling us what we need to know and how to take a closer look when we've "finally found it". Being logical about that Eureka! moment is another way we could put it.
In the afternoon, we'll hear from Arlen Pérez, Medical Tourism Manager at the Metropolitano Vivian Pellas Hospital in Managua. Arlen will give a presentation on Healthcare and Medical Tourism in Nicaragua and give us an overview of two types of health insurance plans available in Nicaragua for the under and over 65s with and without chronic illnesses.
And that's not all. It's going to be a great lineup of speakers for this one day conference, morning coffee and lunch will be served, prepared by Hotel Contempo's French chef in residence and you'll have a great opportunity to connect. If you're thinking of coming to Nicaragua, or find yourself already living here but with a stack of unanswered questions come join in, connect with other expats, newcomers and business professionals at the Nicaragua Lifestyle Conference this May. All for the low price of $69 per person.
