There's some special exemptions for US citizens who are getting social security from what I remember, but it's also really really hard to legally live there if you're from a different country. I knew a Canadian woman who had lived there for over 10 years, married a Tico, and owned a successful business for 5+, and she was still on her third lawyer trying to become a citizen. First one took the money and ran, second one actually died before the process was finished, and who knows how the third lawyer worked out.

Before he got married he would have to go to Nicaragua every 90 days for a few days and then come back so he would have legal status. They mentioned this changed a few years ago but he already had passport by then. Some people would have business licenses to get things like local cell phone plans. If you employed people it made things much easier. Your lawyer story is similar to theirs including trying to immigrate her to the US. Once they decided to get a US lawyer things actually started to happen and they got answers about the US process.
