SECTION 2: THE TWO ARRIVALS

Imagine landing at Mariscal Lamar Airport two different ways:

Problem

❌Linda's Arrival:

Linda arrives with her pension paperwork in a folder — but the folder is missing the apostilled background check that expired 47 days ago. She doesn't know the 180-day rule. Her hotel has stairs and no elevator. The first pharmacy she visits doesn't recognize her US insurance card. She's wondering if she made a terrible mistake.

✅Bob and Carol's Arrival:

Bob and Carol walk into their ground-floor apartment in El Vergel — pre-arranged by a vetted agent who knows what "walkable" and "first-floor" mean for retirees. Their IESS appointment is already scheduled. They know which pharmacy fills prescriptions without a local prescription. Their attorney filed their visa on the first try. They're at Sunrise Cafe by 10 AM, already chatting with neighbors.

This guide is about making sure you're Bob and Carol.
