Hi: We first came into Mexico early Nov. of 2022 and have been here ever since (visa runs). We hope to get temp. residency w/o the financial solvency requirements. Hopefully we can do that in Chiapas (San Cris) where we will be when our 3rd 180 day visas run out... this spring.

[@ragmarsegundo7866]

Clearest, best organized and most straightforward explanation I've encountered. Thanks!

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Pro Tip-If you want to apply for this program but cannot risk getting a 180-day FMM and waiting for it to expire, we recommend avoiding airports like Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, and Mexico City. These airports tend to automatically give tourists 180 days. Another great option is to cross into Mexico through a land border (either walking or driving). Most land borders can give you a short-term FMM. For example- The CBX border crossing in Tijuana has separate lanes for those wanting less than a 7-day FMM vs. longer FMM.

[@mortimersnerd801]

...what the heck is wrong with asking the INM airport official for a 30 day or whatever time stamp if that's what you are aiming for? ...just ask. ("por favor trenta dias senor?)... suspect that's what your'll get if you ask nicely.

In Thailand now. Love Mexico. It was my first choice. Too many hoops. Just wanted sunsets , a margarita now and then and some tacos. Covid, digital nomads , have ruined the dream. Still roll thru for 6 months here and there. Wonderful country. Great people. Best food in the world. But the rules blow big time.

Will be interesting with the new TH Tax law and how the uproar shakes out. I was contemplating THailand... but then taxing my capital gains tax free proceeds on a sale of a home... if I bring that money into TH... makes no sense now. Maybe the TH govt will backtrack. Hence my interest now in Mex.

[@peterdeppeoriginal1221]

Thank you for your incredible and well explained video. I entered Mexico December 3, 2023 in Puerto Vallarta. I heard before about this program, when you "overstay" your 180 or lesser days in Mexico to gain residency. Strangely enough to get what I want, by staying longer and no prove of income required is a great new start for me here in this amazing country. I have been to Mexico for the last 3 years and stayed between 100 to 180 days. Not sure how important this information is, but I do rent a place here in PV long term. But here is something which is new when I arrived in December of 2023. The FMM, or hand written paperwork letter for coming into the country was taken from the officer. Compared to the years prior, when you needed to keep it and taking care of it, until leaving Mexico to hand it back to the officer at the airport. This time, there is only a stamp in my passport from the day of entry here in Puerto Vallarta. What does that now mean??

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

You’re still eligible. Even though now they do all FMMs digitally. If I were you I’d plan a trip to Mexico soon to take advantage of this program

[@peterdeppeoriginal1221]

Thank you for the fast response. Really appreciate that. I am here in Mexico, in Puerto Vallarta. I arrived December 3 2023. It might came wrong across in my message @@MexicoRelocationGuide

[@bluemoon8268]

Hola Mariana ! … thank you for your consistency in providing up to date information on Mexican residency. I am very excited to hear about the program whereas not needing to display financial solvency as this would accelerate my timeline to make the move. It’s a little mind boggling to comprehend how overstaying a VISA can lead to residency rather than being punished, fined or arrested ! 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have a question regarding leasing a place to live without having residency status. Is it possible to rent a place long term, in order to live in it for the 180 day maximum VISA limit … but return briefly after leaving to stay for another predetermined number of days ? This would be very helpful in determining which areas of interest would be most suitable for a more permanent situation. I’m looking forward to working with your team.

Great video Mariana, this cleared up a lot of questions we had about the residency visa process. My husband and I visiting Morelia next month for 29 days to get a feel for the city. We started the appointment process in November 2023 but there are no appointments showing up on the calendar at all. We also tried calling and emailing them but we were told to just keep checking back, we live in the Atlanta area. Are there other Consulates that are easier to book and appointment? Seems to me that getting the appointment is challenging in itself.

[@cwisaac22]

@cathyblackburn1263 Hi Cathy. I received my temporary residency visa through the Atlanta consulate last August. It wasn't easy to get an appointment until I figured out how. Appointments typically open up on Fridays. I had to log onto the site several times, but I finally got an appointment. When I went to the embassy, they had very few people processing residency visas. Hence, only a few appointments. Gook luck!!

[@benibluefoe]

The difficulty is starting to mirror the U.S. policy of no Mexicans accepted for residency, so if you don't like the Mexican residency process, contact your U.S. representatives. Tell them to work harder and better at solving the Mexican immigration process so it isn't a no go process for Mexicans.

[@RodTwitch]

I tried the consulate route and had zero luck in spite of easily meeting the $ requirements, so don't get your hopes up. So I went to TJ, got a lawyer, and she used the regularization program to get me the visa. It was easy and the price was fair.

Mariana, thank you so much for all of your hard work! I love Mexico and have been dreaming of moving there for 20+ years! I love watching your channel! I have one question regarding the temporary residency visa. In terms of investments, does home ownership in one's current country of residence count as an investment? Or do rental properties count as investments? Or is it only cash investments in the form of stocks etc? I will own 2 rental properties by the time I apply for residency - one in Canada, and one in Germany. I would prefer not to sell them, as they provide a healthy income. Thank you Mariana. I hope that's not too confusing a question. I appreciate your time! 😊

[@TimothyBurt]

It is my understanding that Real Estate doesn't work. In addition, in my case, the name on your investment accounts (all of them, not just the most recent) must match the name on your passport exactly. Please correct me if I am mistaken.

We are looking to retire and buy a house in Queretaro MX in about two of years. We visit MX a couple times a year. We both currently live in the US. Now my question: What residency, Temp or Perm, should we be seeking when visiting the Mexican Consulate here in the US?

You would receive a 2 year temporary residency as her husband. She doesn’t need to get a residency visa- she is a citizen. 😀 After 2 yrs you can become a permanent resident

[@crazyazmommy]

One final question, What is the additional financial requirements for each child dependent for temporary residency? by the way this video hands down and Mariana's responses have been the most helpful I've found so far for this year's requirements on residency! ❤

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

The additional requirements for dependents depends on the consulate. They go from $500-$1500/month additional per dependent. If you cannot prove this additional amount for each dependent, don't worry. Secure your residency first, and they can travel as tourists to Mexico. Once you receive your residency card, you can then petition them without having to prove additional solvency requirements. You can petition a spouse, common law partners, children under 18 and not married, siblings under 18 and not married. If a child is over 18, you will need to prove in a Mexican court they are under your care and you are their guardian.

Thank you for your very informative and clear videos. I have been told and read online as of this month that: "Mexican Consulates are requiring applicants 'to be retired' to grant applications for Permanent Residency right away-even when applicants meet the economic solvency requirements." I am not retired with a pension or social security (nor am I of typical retirement age) but I meet the economic solvency requirements for permanent residency. Have you experienced this? Is this the case everywhere or is it consulate dependant?

That is common for most consulates- but don’t worry if you get temporary residency. You’re eligible for permanent residency after 4 years without any additional solvency requirements

Sounds like unfortunately you don't currently qualify for the RNE program. There is a possibility they will extend it into 2025- which means visits prior to 2023 will count to qualify you. And then if they extend it into 2026 then visits before 2024 should qualify you.

I had a temporary resident visa for 8 years and I had an obligation to live in Mexico for 6 months plus one day. Why, you can only be a resident in one country at a time. When you have a permanent resident visa, I have had one for 10 years now. You are allowed multiple exits and entries and the best part you can stay out of the country for up to 5 years without loosing your resident status. You have 2 obligations, pay your taxes and avoid , juicios penales. You can have multiple municipal violations and it does not affect your visa. It is very easy to have a neighbor make a false accusation against you here in Mexico. I have been subpoenaed several times and all of them were false. And a good word of advice, AVOID GETTING A LAWYER in Mexico, you surely will loose your shirt and maybe go to jail. Never sign anything unless you are 110% percent sure of what is included. If you are charged they must bring in an authorized translator for you. Whenever you sign something out of necessity, so you can receive a copy, on every page put the phrase ´ no estoy conforme ´. Never believe anything anyone tells you, I speak of legal issues, most are out to ´ chingar el gringo ´. The foreigner has money and rarely has family or legal support. I have owned several properties here in Chiapas, I do all of the research and proof reading myself. I do have an honest lawyer and and honest Notario. If desired I would be glad to comment on the process for acquiring land for a foreigner. Recently the judicial reforms on land laws were renewed. I actually owned a waterfront coconut farm with one boundary being Patrimonio de Mexico, or La Zona Federal. I am well versed in the waterfront laws of ownership as well. Avoid any federal concessions if you do decide to buy waterfront.

Regarding economic solvency, what about being on USA Disability? It's a bit different than Social Security, but provides me a monthly income forever. However, it is below the required amount you have stated. Is the amount different for those of us on Disability? Thank you!!

[@jordana99]

Sadly no.

[@shanediesel4562]

On your video Regularization program says you need to have entered Mexico between 2015-2022. But on your website it says "You should have visited Mexico at least once before Dec 31, 2022". So if you have entered Mexico once before 2015 is the regularization program still possible?

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Yes you can still apply with an entry before 2015 however it may be hard for INM to find you in their database. Before 2015, it’s harder to find visitors in the INM database Our recommended facilitators can help determine if you are in INMs databse before applying To get our directory of recommended facilitators you must first purchase our complete Mexico Relocation Guide Mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/

[@jodibraun6383]

In line with this question, (of having visited Mexico before 2015), if I still have an old passport showing stamps of entry in either Mérida or CDMX between 2000 & 2003, could I qualify for the Special Residency? If yes, it would just be a matter if traveling to Mexico, out-staying my tourist card, and then applying? It couldn't be that simple, could it?

[@rosegold.sunset4749]

Thank you for this detailed video! I have a question regarding proving you've been in Mexico before 2022. I was in Cancun in 2020 but it was with my old passport before my name change. I can't find it at the moment but in the worst case scenario (being unable to find my old passport with this stamp), is there another way to prove my visit?

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

unfortunately if you don’t have your previous passport anymore it will be too difficult to rove your previous visits to México

[@rosegold.sunset4749]

@@MexicoRelocationGuide I found it lol 😆I spent the entire day tearing apart my room! Thanks for the quick reply! I did find out hours after I posted my question that in Canada you can obtain a Travel History Report through CBSA with a Traveller's API/PNR Information Request Form (BSF153).

[@sfllouis2117]

Yes your video was helpful

[@Minnesotagal]

How would you enter as a tourist if you are a resident? How do you enter when you have your consulate info to finish the residency?

[@LicensedBajaRealtor]

If you enter as a tourist while you are a resident you will lose your residency

[@LicensedBajaRealtor]

Question about the FMM… now that many airports do not have a paper FMM, simply stamping your passport, how does that work when doing the canaje?

[@mariogustave]

Great video. Thank you so much for these info. My question is :My wife visited Mexico in 2018, she is currently in Florida right now and not able to travel to Mexico bcuz of Work and more. As her husband, if am in Mexico City at the moment, can she send her documents to me so that i can do the process for her or maybe send to a lawyer or facilitator since she cant be here in person?? Or is it a must that she comes here in person to handle that? And plus she would need an FMM. Can she apply for the FMM online and be sure to get it for 7 days?

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

it has to be your wife in person who applies if she’s the one that qualifies

[@Dixieleeaboveandbeyond]

I would like to know more about agrarian land. Specifically along the coast in Oaxaca. I purchased property there over 10 years ago and then was told I could have never owned it after meeting with legal entities and getting documents. I have spend so much time and money trying to protect what was my investment and home that I had built on the land. I had hoped to become a resident there after traveling there for so many years. I never got help or any answers. It makes my so heart broken and sick as this was my retirement and has left a very bad taste in wanting to invest anymore money where it can be so easily taken.

[@benibluefoe]

Which is why you never buy land in a foreign country. Rent, never buy or face total loss. smh...

[@spocksvulcanbrain]

Two questions: 1. Are you saying that if you apply for a Temp residency and get it, that you can NOT apply for permanent residency until after year 4? In other words, say you want to start that process after 2 years, is that possible, or must you wait until year 4? 2. This back and forth seems awfully dubious about securing your residency. My concern is that if you start the process in the USA, go to Mexico, and then start the process within that 30 days, but it takes longer than you've scheduled time for in the country before you have to return. Just how long does that usually take? Should I plan on staying 2 weeks, a month, 3 months? Seems very arbitrary based on getting an appointment, government inefficiencies, and the constant going back and forth to the INM office(s). Even if you have someone doing this for you, I assume I'd have to still be in the country the whole time. Can you clarify for us? Thanks. Good information and thanks.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

no, not exactly what I meant. you can apply for permanent residency sooner if you are pensioned or retired and can prove it.

[@crazyazmommy]

What if your monthly income is above the max temporary requirements but just below the minimum for permanent residency financial requirements? Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

You’ll qualify for temporary residency then - after 4 years you can apply for permanent residency without having to prove the economic solvency requirements for permanent residency

[@crazyazmommy]

@@MexicoRelocationGuide whew thank you! So we'd just need him to apply each year for 3 more years temporary or is the temporary good for 4 years straight once you receive it?

[@jared997]

Can you elaborate on process for marriage? I'm a US citizen and husband is mexican citizen

[@journeykendrick]

Hi Mariana, how far in advance of our targeted move should we; a) contact our consulate b) secure a facilitator? We live in Chicago and our plan is to start our residency in Puerto Morelos. This will be in the second half of 2025.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

I’d secure your consulate appointment as soon as you can. And secure a facilitator as soon as you’re ready to get the process started

[@benibluefoe]

Before you move, you need to understand time is no longer a concern in Mexico. Expect everything to take much much longer than you are used to or you will be unhappy in Mexico. The only thing fast in Mexico is healthcare. That is, if you have money to pay for healthcare.

[@journeykendrick]

We are very aware of the Mexican timeline and looking forward to that aspect of life there. So tired of the rat race pace of life in Chicago. My question is directed toward the advance planning here in Chicago to begin the process. 180 day window to cross the border.... Don't care how long it takes once we get there...we will be retired and have nothing but time. Glorious. 😅

[@Johnnie-d9b]

Not our experience, at least. We applied for permanent residence for us and our six children at the INM emlace (branch) in Rosarito. The process was extremely fast and easy. Approval came less than a week after each application.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Can you tell me....if a Panamanian citizen wants to vist Mexico on the tourist visa...must they prove any sort of financial solvency upon arrival at an airport in Mexico...or are there any other requirements...other than presenting a valid passport?

Hello Marina, I entered Mexico as a tourist in 2023 and was giving a 180 days permit, do I quality for the RNE program?

Hello Mariana 👋🏻 I'm interested in applying for dual citizenship. I have a somewhat unique situation. I was born in Mexico. My parents immigrated to USA. I grew up here and with time, married and raised a family. Early on I became a Naturalized citizen. Now that I'm retired, I want to obtain my Mexican Citizenship back. I have a question for you, are the immigration facilitators lawyers? And those listed in your Mexican Relocation Guide, are they trustworthy? I say this because you mentioned in the video that some really don't know what they're doing. I need to know how to go about this correctly. For example, which documents do I need, which need to be translated or apostilled . I would really appreciate it if you could direct me in the right direction. Thank you.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

We only list the facilitators that are trustworthy. We would never recommend someone we know is not experienced As for your question, you were born in mexico so you will always be a Mexican citizen. If you nerd help with the process one of our recommended facilitators can help you find your birth certifícate and help you get a passport

[@rosemarysolorio5253]

Thank you.

[@Jay-s8x7f]

So, that's why Mexico is raising there Money price for residency. To keep those out -- that didn't want to stay in Mexico from the get-go. It's just unfair for Americans that have many generations, before them, that were born in the U.S. And, now can't afford to move to Mexico due to solvency, and, or income requirements.

[@rosemarysolorio5253]

I tried asking one of your facilitators in Ensenada for help in getting my Mexican passport and birth certificate. She told me that she didn't do that. So, I'm back to square one. Remember, I mentioned that I have a unique situation which might be a bit too long to write.

[@lawhoff9581]

Something confusing about the RNE requirements. Your first possibility says that you have visited Mexico between 2015 and 2022. I visited QRO IN 2019. So does the fact that I visited Mexico in 2019 make me eligible or is it that visit in 2019 plus overstaying a current FMM?

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

if you visited in 2019 you are eligible. As long as you have a stamp on your passport to prove it. Then you would need to come to Mexico, and over stay your current tourist permit before you can apply.

[@KBcubedP3]

​@@MexicoRelocationGuide Is it possible to get a 7 day FMM and then apply for temp residency while still there?

[@kenhilliard5845]

I came to Mexico in 2020 during the pandemic. Do I qualify if I come to Mexico in 2024 and let my FMM expire? Also, can you recommend someone or a compnay to use guide me through the regularization process?

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Yes you qualify! :) Assuming you have stamps in your passport proving you entered Mexico. And yes, we can connect you with our trusted and vetted immigration facilitators across Mexico.
