I love the idea of living in Mexico one day. Quick question, I am going to be working in a remote job soon but my salary will be just slightly under US$2,200. Would I be automatically declined because I don’t meet the threshold?

Hola Trisha
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to ask questions about my move to Mexico and I am hopeful that the questions that I have will provide clarification to what seems to be a bit confusing for me.

My name is Mark a Senior, currently living in Santa Rosa in the wine country of Sonoma County north of San Francisco. I am in the active process of selling my Mobile Home in a Senior Park to retire to the Lake Chapala area in Mexico in 2023 or by Jan-Feb 2024. Here are some questions I have that I need help with.

a-It’s my understanding that I can enter Mexico with a Tourist visa for 6 months. Can I leave Mexico after 5-6 months for week or two and return to apply for 6 months more? How do I apply to get a Mexico Tourist visa for 6 months?

b-Before going to the Mexico consulate in the U.S., Belize, or Guatemala do I need to have bank statements for the past 6 months showing that my account has XXXK or more + SS deposits?

c-Bank of America has an international partner in MX which is Scotiabank. Can I open an account at Scotiabank showing what I have in BofA while in MX while only having a 6-month MX tourist Visa, and without having a 6-month financial bank history?

d- Do I also need to show proof that I am renting a place in Lake Chapala to open a bank account? Want to avoid paying cash for rent so that I have proof of payments for my own protection!

I very much appreciate your kindness in answering my questions to help make my move to Mexico easier as a happy Expat away from the U.S.

Aprecio mucho su amabilidad al responder mis preguntas para ayudar a que mi mudanza a México sea más fácil como un expatriado feliz lejos de los EE. UU.
Muchas Gracias,
Mark

In reply to Paloma. If you are not working for a Mexican company, you don't have to pay taxes in Mexico.

In reply to Samantha. It's quite a drive from Nashville! My 2 dogs are 50 lbs so I put them in cargo. No issue since they are used to flying and I did not have to pay per weight, but per dog. I lived in PV and now in Cabo. Good luck!

Thank you for your article! I am planning my move to PV from Nashville In December! Sucks, it is during high season, but it is what is it. My biggest concern has been getting there with by 70 lb pit bull. Flying, he would HAVE to go in the cargo area, or driving, which a long that drive in through pretty much all of Mexico makes me nervous. Where did you move from and how did you transport your pets? I will be there next month to do as you stated and check out neighborhoods!

In reply to Simon. @Simon, temporary residency visa, if you have a kid you will be given permanent. if you move will you work remotely? I am trying to find out for my husband if he can keep paying taxes in uk as he will keep his remote job.

Hi,
I’m British and my wife is Mexican. We’ve been living in the UK for several years. I’ve never lived in Mexico or applied for a visa there.
We’re thinking of moving to Mexico to live there.
What sort of visa would I require?
Thanks!
Simon

In reply to Mike F. You need to start with a temporary visa first before they give you a permanent one. On the 5th year, you can apply for temporary residency and on the 7th year, you can apply for Mexican citizenship.
