SENIORS•RETIREES IN COSTA RICA - GOLD CARD • CIUDADANO de ORO (CR's Senior Citizens Discount Card) • Special treatment Seniors•Retirees get in Costa Rica including NO Waiting in Lines & FREE Bus Rides!


SENIOR CITIZENS IN COSTA RICA
It's REALLY COOL how Costa Rican's treat Senior Citizens as they get to go to the front of the line most places (fyi - a Senior in Costa Rica is age 65).


WHAT IS THE CIUDADANO de ORO • GOLD CARD
It gives PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT to "Seniors" in Costa Rica.  It gives DISCOUNTS to pharmacies, appliances, hardware stores, book stores, bakeries, shoe stores, private clinics, clinical laboratories, opticians, supermarkets, travel agencies and LOTS MORE!!!



WHERE TO SIGN UP FOR YOUR CIUDADANO de ORO • GOLD CARD
Request your ID card for the Senior Citizen Gold Card (Ciudano de Oro) program with your passport or Costa Rican residency card in the nearest office of the CAJA in your city or town.





OTHER PERKS OF YOUR GOLD CARD
(or being a Senior Citizen in Costa Rica)
Some people have shared that when they were wanting to visit someone in the hospital (in the government hospitals - Visiting Hours are VERY LIMITED), they could go at ANY TIME with their Gold Card•Ciudadano de Oro card or Cedula and information on the person one plans to visit.


OTHER PERKS OF BEING A SENIOR IN COSTA RICA
•   NO WAITING IN LINES!!!  
Read what I wrote about this at:
LivingLifeInCostaRica.blogspot.com/2013/12/SeniorsBankTipCR.html

•   FREE BUS PASS  -
This is a cool perk of being a senior!!  I believe in all cities you can sign up for a FREE BUS PASS for the area you live in.
