HI all, I know most people recommend ditching as much stuff as possible before you move to Mexico, but lets assume there is a t least a couple of rooms worth of furniture which you want to bring. Has anyone had any experience moving belongings to ...

That is what we did, and if you use a broker, your trailer is officially sealed so no one can mess with it. (including the police) Read More

Did I make a mistake at airport immigration? by Jaded2

I am currently in Mexico for a week and have missed a flight back due to a mishap with the airline and immigration. I have an expired temp visa for Mexico. When I arrived last week I had the blank tourist visa ready to fill in. I spoke to the ...

jiminchelem

Pretty simple, you let your temporal visa expire! So you caused the delay, no one to blame but yourself. Read More

Of course they want to know where you will be living, but owning property is not a requirement plus the visas will not have your address on it. Read More

Apostatized and Spanish translated US documents were required for us in the Yucatan State also. Better to have them than need them. Read More

That is very true, they all seem to "interpret" the requirements differently! Probably due to lack of communication with Mexico City, plus the fact that they revised them just a few years ago. Read More

You can have a foreign plated car in Mexico, but you are not allowed to have it once you have a reached permanent residency status! Not everyone has that, in fact you usually get a temporary one for 4 years before you qualify for a permanent ... Read More

I bought a new 6X12 cargo trailer and packed it to the roof for our move down here. Trailer was $1200 and I sold it down here for $600. Worked perfect, took our time and saw as much of the sights as possible. Read More

Well where I am there is quite a large non Mexican population. Chelem is a small (5K) fishing village, 3 miles from a larger town, Progreso (50K) and 20 miles from the state capitol Merida (1M). So anything and everything you desire is within a 45 ... Read More

Real Estate in Mexico Is NOT Cheaper?? by 4theloveofsun

For those of you who own property please correct me if you think I'm looking at this in negative light, or not seeing the "big" picture when it comes to buying a home in Mexico. The cost of living in Mexico is much better, no question ...

How do I get my pitbulls into México? by Guest8925

Does anyone have an idea of how to get pitbulls into México (other than driving them in)? Every airline I’ve looked at won’t allow them. I thought maybe someone on here has been through this before and might have some tips. ...

Sydney, I guess I really should have said driving is the only way to do it. Read More

Ms Lane...... You can not become a permanent resident of Mexico without an income! The exception is if you have already made and saved up a large sum of money. Living on a budget implies however that you have not. You can however stay in Mexico for ... Read More

Dying in Mexico as an °µÍø½ûÇø by Jan2017

My husband and I plan to live in Mexico, hopefully until we die! But we have no idea how the death of an °µÍø½ûÇø is handled. Does anyone here know? It's not a happy topic but something that will happen to all of us eventually :)

jiminchelem

As you have nothing to will anyone, why would you want a will? If however you owned property, then a Mexican will is a must. Read More

Real estate investing in Tulum by angela004

Within the next 6 months I would like to invest in either a couple of apartments or a commercial/hotel property in Tulum and was wondering: do Mexican banks offer mortgages/financing for non-Mexican residents? What is the process like dealing with ...

jiminchelem

If you are intending to buy commercial/hotel property then you will have to incorporate. Mexican bank financing for non Mexicans is next to impossible. I would also beware on investing/buying properties that have not been already constructed. Read More
