Mexico Residency in 2024 - THIS CAN'T BE REAL
Рет қаралды 403,795
5 ай бұрынThinking about getting legal residency in Mexico in 2024? In this video I'm covering the new requirements set forth by the Mexican government.
I'm also going to tell you about a number of ways to qualify for residency that don't involve any financial qualifications.

I tried the consulate route in the US and it was impossible, despite having plenty of finances to show. They basically stopped giving out visas because so many gringos are trying to move to Mexico. So, I went to Tijuana and got a lawyer and she got me a visa with no problem. She used a different program that I hadn't heard of.

What some people forget when they come to Mexico , is that no one is OBLIGATING you to be here , so , DO NOT TRY TO CHANGE THE CULTURE , trying to shape Mexican culture into US CULTURE, if you miss your ways so much stay there , we are happy here with our laugh , noise , colors , food …SPANISH TONGE , if Mexico needs to change , MEXICANS will change it , keep your recommendations to yourself ☝🏼

Kinda like when mexicans come to the US, wanna try to change things to be like mexico...how about stay in mexico? Funny how mexico can require all this stuff but the US is just suppose to let anyone in and stay while they drain the US of money and resources. So next time you see a gringo down in mexico complaining or trying to change things...there's 20 million illegals in the US doing the same thing .

In my experience, you enter on 180 day tourist visa, and let it expire. The moment it expires, you go to Merida and get a number in line at the immigration office. To get that you usually need to be there between 2-4 am in the morning. Then they open and you do your meeting. Boom! Bob's your uncle. Cost me $150

You certainly can’t blame Mexico for trying to do that because I’ve seen more than my fair share of “refugee gringos”. It does strike me somewhat funny that they keep increasing the financial requirements but they don’t ask for background checks and, if you overstay your tourist visa within a certain time frame, you can apply for regularization that leads to a 4 year residence permit. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I'm a USA citizen that became a Mexican citizen about 20 years ago through my father's birth in Mexico. I opened a bank account in Mexico and put my savings, and some money in short term CDs at 7% yearly return rate. My American savings account got 0.02% . Moreover, I qualify for Mexican social security since I'm the "third age" Mexican citizen. I rent a nice large three bedroom home with a great ocean view for 500 dollars a month and my wife and I live on less than 1200 dollars per month. There are many reasons for Mexican citizenship like buying beach front homes and cheap lots with great ocean views for less than 20K. If you are from a foreign country and can get Mexican citizenship, do it for the financial part. Once you get your dual citizenship, you can live and do business in either country freely.

We are travelers, I tried to get into North Carolina and they said I had to go to Minneapolis because we are residences of South Dakota, although we don't live there. I called around and Orlando FL took travelers or anyone from anywhere. Getting through the consulate in the US was almost the headrest part. We found Orlando was very nice. I was talking to 4-5 to see who I could get into. I heard Texas has some good ones too. Ivonne @Host Relocation is fantastic. I couldn't have done it without her.

I'm watching this while doing an exploratory visit of Southeast Asia. México is simply mimicking other countries now, like the MM2H program in Malaysia. My monthly income is $3600, so I don't qualify. This rising trend is happening world-wide, so it seems the world isn't interested in hosting the average U.S. retiree anymore. From my research, The Philippines currently has the most welcoming and realistic program. What's sad about these higher requirements is that just because someone has a lot of income, doesn't mean they will be good members of a community. Volunteering, educating, etc. I'm having to accept the fact that my average income after a life of public service isn't wanted the world over anymore.

Malaysia doesn't understand how to manage a retirement programme that maximises revenue. They got the idea that they could convert their Good MM2H program to something more like a Golden Visa. After two years they got about 12. Applicants...down from roughly 4500 recipients in 2019 and after a three year suspension. The original program had a $2000/couple/month income requirement+ a fixed bank deposit of $50,000 but allowable withdrawals for property or vehicle purchases, health care costs, and kids school tuition..with the provisional of keeping 50% of that amount in the account during the term of the visa.. All that has shot up to $10,000/monthly income AND a $250,000 FD. Oh, and one had to stay in Malaysia for 3 months minimum each year. 5+5 year visa. But there was a special situation...in the state of Sarawak there is some autonomy and they allowed a program much like the original MM2H: Couples $2400+$70,000FD (there is also a discount for single applicants $1800/month and $35,000 FD with allowable withdrawals of 40%). It's also only a one month visitation requirement. 5+5 visa. So Sarawak, a wonderful multiracial forested tropical paradise with beaches and several modern cities and hospitals...should be considered by retirees.

Regularization program is real! I was here during cobid and didn't want to travel for visa runs so my visa was long expired. I figured that I would just pay the fine whenever I left and get another tourist visa. Then I heard about the regularization program (never heard it called that, though). I was able to go the INM office in my area and get temp residency for basically the cost of the filing fee with only needing to show a lease for my apartment and my expired visa. Now's it 4 short years, (only 2 left) and I'm good for perm residency. I'm hoping that it is really true that I won't have to show financials, but several people have told me that once you get the temp res, you don't have to show financials again. Viva Mexico!

Treat Mexico well, live modest like the locals, don’t over inflate your local economy and stay away from the real estate cartel that kicks locals out, pushes permits thru corruption and outside city development plans(where it’s not allowed to build).

What I did in 18. It was called Amnesty. Overstay status and 10k pesos fee for 4 years Temp. Then 10k for Permanent. Done and dusted...forever. 1 more year and quality for citizenship if I wish. Mexican passport, 6k old age pension every 2 months; 90% senior discounts on many many things incl. All transport.

It has taken me almost a year to finally get my appointment with my States consulate. In October, as requested, I sent them my filled out forms and my signed and notarized bank statements for a year Sept-Sept. In January, I received my appointment for March, and a request for financial statements signed and notarized from February 2023- February 2024 as well as my specific size passport picture, my US passport and application. There was also a paragraph saying they weren't giving permanent residency to anyone who had not been physically retired for 1 year. It's been a process, and patience has been a wonderful asset. I will use a facilitator for the Mexican INM portion. I'm still learning Spanish and I am not 100% fluent. Having a facilitator will assure me that I will get it right the first time. 😊

One very key point regarding obtaining residency through the regularization program....is you MUST have visited Mexico at least ONCE before 2022 to qualify. Mexican Inmigracion has a video detailing the requirements and they state this.
@dmlifestyle9788 4 ай бұрын
Thought the video this morning was very interesting. You have touch bases on these items in the past, and it was great understanding the new criteria for residency and temperate residency. One question with residency and solvency if you do not have quite the income criteria, can you use assets such as property owned in Mexico and or property owned in the US to meet the income solvency thank you appreciate the content always.

I received my Temp. Residency in La Paz. My financial requirement was under 3,000 bucks in 22. I had a medical emergency and back to US in Sept. 23. I lost my Temp. Residency. I am not adjusting well in the US. I am thinking about moving to Ensañada because of the weather and location. Living off of SS will allow me to live in MX, but not get Temp. Residency at this time. Anyone who moves to MX should apply for Temp. Residency as one's life will become so much more enjoyable. Perks!

Isn’t that the government’s doing? Cartels never go out of business, even with a new president, but 35 mayoral candidates were literally gunned down. I don’t understand it all, other than the world’s very rich count narcotics trafficking as part of their investment portfolio. I also just read slavery is higher now than US Civil War. Big business doesn’t care who gets hurt, killed, drinks poisoned water from Coca-Cola in Oxaca or Chevron’s $30B lawsuit in Ecuador that they lost several times and refuse to pay. Chevron even went after the NY human rights attorney who won the case, mad his life and career miserable. Global insanity and lawlessness is the new normal. The rich get rich while the masses suffer.

I’m sure that I will get around to getting temporary residency one of these days. I tried to apply back in 2022, but I was told that I was ineligible even though I had funds in the account around the required amount. I do have a property over there that I am closing on. I put some money into that. So, perhaps later down the line, I can seal the deal with the required monthly amount in the checking accounts along with the title to the property. We shall see.

Translation to simple English: You are a special kind of person, wanting to commit a hate crime so much that you can't return to our home country of Canada. You feel that if you commit hate crimes online that you deserve some kind of legal carve-out from laws that already exist. As a Canadian, good riddance, and I hope you enjoy your time as an immigrant down in Mexico. I'm sorry Canada is too civilized for you, and you can't understand the difference between freedom of speech and hate crimes. I'm also sorry the Mexicans have to deal with you. 💖
