[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

thanks! This was a huge error on our part when uploading it. It’s been fixed

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

sorry everyone! the audio issue has been fixed. Thanks for your patience :)

[@dianasandstrom5562]

Thank you for this video. We have been coming to Cozumel for about 20 years. Usually in the January, February, early March part of the year. We have always felt safe. We love the Island, the people having made many friends through the years. Both local and of course a lot of Canadians. The thought of moving did enter our minds about 12 years ago, but because of family we decided to continue coming on a yearly basis. We returned home from Cozumel about a month ago, I miss it almost everyday………counting the months until we return. Again, thanks for the informative video.

[@alicehunt4998]

Absolutely great,sincere, realistic information. Thank you

[@cindyk3076]

Really nice hearing from people who live in a very touristy area. They are both fairly mellow and that is a great attitude! Wonderful information, thank you!

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Thanks Cindy! And sorry about the audio issue- but it's been fixed :)

[@allyson1691]

Great video and information, thank you

[@wallyklw5]

Great place to hang for a month-but expat living? No way. Best expat is Puerta Adventuras just across on mainland

[@user-nb9jm3xo8u]

Scuba is My favorite outdoor activity. That would be My motivation for spending six months in Cozumel. I'm fluent in the English language, and knowledgeable of the customs and culture of the United States. Therefore, I'm more interested in expanding My knowledge-base than regurgitating that which I'm familiar. I am interesting in expanding my knowledge of the spanish language and Mayan/Mexican culture.

Would love to see you do a video of expats in La Paz.

[@mariem5990]

[@brettpeace9858]

The hurricane season is a potential problem

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Yeap- any coastal town is prone to hurricanes.

[@brettpeace9858]

@@MexicoRelocationGuide haha! Cozumel is MORE prone than most!

[@tomm9540]

Do You both teach Spanish? I'm a Gringo and am fluent in Spanish, and agree with you both how much it is appreciated by the locals in any country. You didn't mention your rent, was curious about your expenses. I am a Permanent Resident (green card) of Mexico, but still living in the USA. Thanks for the info

[@janetkeyser5677]

You must have the proper visa to work. Please think about this question. I have taught both English and Spanish in the US. But I would never presume to teach Spanish in Mexico. Those jobs are precious to the locals. Of course, if Spanish is your native language, then you have an advantage. Native English speakers can find the best jobs teaching English, with large companies and universities, if you have the proper courses and certifications and permission to work, which may be secured by the entity that hires you.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

I think starting a business is precious to whomever has the funds to get one started, and keep it running successfully.

[@tomm9540]

I totallly agree! Was skiing yesterday and told a friend of mine daughter about Mexico Relocation Guide as she does some of the same things for people trying to get residency in Italy. Gave the Guide many kudos and I think it helps people working in Mexico such as facilitators, language teachers etc.... @@MexicoRelocationGuide

[@willowdreams1786]

Can we take our boat to Mexico like our vehicles? 😊

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Yes you sure can! You'd have to import it.

[@randybarlow8822]

Sound except for music went out 1/3d way through

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Sorry about that! I messed up the audio file when I uploaded the video. But it has now been fixed. Thanks for being so patient. Hope you watch it again

[@phishtacosfishingandstuff2677]

How much does a facilitator cost?

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Depends on the legality they are helping you with- usually around $4,000-$10,000 pesos per person

[@RockyMountain947]

Hello, can I get residency in Mexico if I receive a pardon? The visa form asks if you have a criminal record. At 21 I was drinking and was convicted of assault. With a pardon the record can't be seen. I heard consulates ask for criminal record checks so the check would show nothing. They ask "do you have a criminal record in Mexico or elsewhere?", and thankfully they do not ask "have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence?" I have a bachelors degree in economics and finance, a Masters degree in Economics and I am getting a law degree in 1 year so I was thinking I may be able to apply through some professional route.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Mexican consulates do not ask for a criminal background check

[@RockyMountain947]

So the Mexican government does it through CPIC? Do you think I would be ok with a pardon?

[@RockyMountain947]

Sorry, I may have misinterpreted your message, do they not do a criminal record check at all?

[@LicensedBajaRealtor]

@@RockyMountain947nope

[@PielBella]

Couldn’t hear them just music

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Sorry about that! I messed up the audio file when I initially uploaded the video. But fixed it now. Thanks for your patience :)

[@sr9253]

What on earth is their business?? They talk about it like it’s’ something secret.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

Their business is their Spanish school

Please don't bring Oregon to cozumel..Please don't 😢

[@user-nb9jm3xo8u]

Expatriate: someone who lives outside of their native country. Immigrant: someone who comes to live permanently in another country. I plan to spend six months in the northern hemisphere, and six months in the southern hemisphere. Therefore, I'm "Expat"

[@lutam921]

Expatriates are immigrants from rich countries.
