Thanks for this Q&A. Your past videos have been helpful to us in getting our temporary residency visa. We also gave you a shout out at the end of our video on visiting the Raleigh Mexican Consulate. 😊🇲🇽🙌🏽

Hola Mariana! Hola Miguel Gutierrez! Hey Miguel you don't really need a facilitator to start your residency process at a Consulate in the US. When you email them for an appointment they will send you some dates and times to choose from along with their requirements and paperwork you will need to show. It's really easy and they speak English! BTW- I flew from LA to the Consulate in McAllen, Texas because they emailed me back right away when other Consulates didn't even bother to reply to my email until weeks after I had already set up an appointment in Texas. Everybody there was friendly and helpful. Buena suerte!

I’m excited to see the Colima video! Comala and Suchitlán are such beautiful places.

Hi, watching from Florida

[@maricelarooper9558]

Can I go to Mexico with just my visa for 3 weeks? Want to check it out for a few weeks before moving.

[@davidsebastianelli1326]

@maricela If you are asking about an FMM (Tourist Permit) or what some people improperly call a Tourist Visa, you can come and go with that. If you are referring to the Mexican Visa stamp in your passport that you get from the Consulate in the US during the first step of getting your residency, you then have 180 days to enter Mexico and complete the process. Once you enter Mexico you have 30 days to complete your "canje" (exchange) during which time you cannot leave! If you have only a limited time to complete this process convey your concerns to your facilitator and hopefully they could speed up the process. If you are doing the canje on your own, you would have to get an appointment within that time frame and hope it won't take long to finish. You would also want to go to an INM office that is known to finish this part quickly. When I moved to Ensenada and after a year when I renewed my Temporary Resident Visa both times it was quick and easy with no appointment needed, just go there early. I was in and out within less than two hours with card in hand. Both times I could have left the country that same day or flown out of Tijuana to parts of Mexico until I wanted to leave. BTW- Flights from within Mexico are very affordable! Hope that answers your question y de nada Marianna!😎 Mucha suerte desde la hermosa Ensenada!

@@davidsebastianelli1326 sorry what I meant was a passport. We only have passports at this time but would like to go visit for a few weeks to check it out first before actually deciding to move.

Hi Mariana, great info as always. Have you heard of Sergei? he's a facilitator in PDC.

[@MexicoRelocationGuide]

I haven't - but there are dozens of them in PDC. We have our recommendation in PDC and she is amazing :)

[@MyMemories07]

Thank you❤. I also was told Milly from PDC is very good.

Hola de nuevo mi amiga Mariana! I tuned in during your live broadcast and I couldn't send you a question or see the other questions people were asking. If I have questions should I send them to you before your scheduled help Q&A's are broadcast?? ...I've heard for years that the US Consulates, that all work independently from INM in Mexico, are going to switch to the UMA formula for Residency financial requirements. Considering that in Mexico the UMA has been in use to determine financial obligations since 2016 when the law was passed, you would think by now the US Consulates would have caught up to that relatively newer law. It would greatly reduce the "economic solvency" requirements now in place. BTW- I put the quotation marks on economic solvency because the actual meaning in a dictionary says basically "The ability to pay one's financial obligations" Someone could easily live with the ability to meet all financial obligations on less than $1400us per month. If your household in Mexico has a minimum of $1340us (2024) per month you would be considered middle class. Just saying.... Buena suerte!
