Great video....but, your audio STINKS!! FAR too low! Fix it! Its not rocket science.

what about homeowners association fees in Mazatlan?

I would love to know more about internet access and speeds in those beach towns.

Not true, a pledge allegiance was normal process that's not why. He had to renounce Italy because it was the way America was then. No dual citizenship. They embraced America, unlike many legal and illegal immigrants do today.

That’s not the Coronado we visited last year! Not sure where you got your pics, prices and information! Wow!

BEST interview I've seen yet, about life in Mazatlan, great job! We live in NV and the Mexican consulate here gave us a much lower number though, about how much money we need to have in savings in order to meet criteria for a temporary residency visa, which converts to a permanent resodency visa in a few years.

I'm a permanent resident of Mexico and my residency card is not green at all.

Huge bit of misinformation in saying that you automatically get 180 days on a tourist visa. No, it's not automatic. More and more people are running into that. In many cases, you have to show your hotel bookings and your flight plans, and you may well just get 2 weeks. The simple fact is that the tourist visa is for tourism, and the residency permit is for residency. If you come in on a tourist permit and you actually come to establish residency, you're lying to the immigration authorities. They will have a computer record of all your comings and goings, and they have every right to refuse you or even kick you out if your pattern of behavior shows that you're abusing the tourist permit. Beyond that, it's jarring to hear him say that he doesn't know of other countries which allow residency through savings. He shouldn't even be trying to speak on that topic. LOTS of countries offer residency based on wealth and assets, including through investment programs. I stopped watching after that part.

My understanding is if you've been to Mexico before 2022(?) , that there is a path to start temporary residency from within Mexico and without meeting financial requirements? Is this true? If it is true, what information would be required to prove you were there? My husband and I relinquished our expired passports.

Retirement to Mexico is suddenly not an option for most Americans. The cost of living has skyrocketed.

Coronado is horrible. The main road is in desperate need of major repairs. It's filled with potholes, speedbumps, and patchwork at varying heights relative to the original surface. The side streets are mostky dirt, but sone have a smttering of two of gravel. The #1 car repair here is to struts and shocks, and many people get an alignment every 6 months. Power outages are common, often several in a day. Surprisingly, water shortages are even more common. People at the golf course residencesoften godays without running tap water. In the US and Canada, Coronado would be called a slum. Shower water often smells like sewer water, even in Coronado Bay. And oftentimes, like May 2024, the entire area stinks of sewer gas. This is not the place anyone dreamed about during a 40 year career.

This was a very detailed and easy to understand explanation. Thank you.

Mexico is consistently inconsistent. The honest answer for most people is to simply start the process and see what shakes out for you. There is no loss in doing your investigation for your circumstances. I will say, don't try to come in too low under the wire. You are aware there are minimums so don't try to immigrate with the plan of selling bracelets on the beach. This video, and others like it, are for the "common" person. You may be unique and that may be perfectly fine with the consulate you deal with. I will add, don't think that importing personal goods tax free is a benefit to residency. You'll pay at the consulate and then you'll get hit up again at the border. Leave your crap in the US and buy in Mexico. It isn't worth the hassle of trying to import.

japan does not require yyou to stay a minimum amuont of time on a residency permit

Looks like Mexico only wants Top Earners. Well, let's see how long these new criteria options work. Meanwhile there are other countries to consider.

If u had that much money, why the heck would u move to mex???

Hell, Portugal requires something like $800 per month income ! Tell me Mexico is 3x better than Portugal ? The RNE program is the way around this

No, not everyone except asylees must go through consulate. Where is this guy getting his information from? Too many wrong statements.

Adult children - NOT eligible. Must qualify separately.

I think over $4k monthly income is hard to come by these days. Because all you will really have that's considered "income" is your Social Security, and most SS payments are not that high (I'm not sure if they count interest your making on investments, money markets etc as income). My husband and I got ours Temp Residency last July, he qualified with his SS ($3,000 a month) and I'm not retired yet so I qualified with my 401k savings. We fly back in this July to renew for 3 years...cannot wait to be moving there permanently, just waiting for our house in Florida to sell 💃🌺🇲🇽🌴🍹🍍⛱️

Phoenix rates just increased. $4321 income $72000 savings 🙄

Great Video......Just wanted to add, I was fortunate to qualify for Permanent Residency from the get go two plus years ago and yes both the Temporary and Permanent Cards were green. They changed that about a year or so ago, and they are now both like a dual tan and gray colored card no longer green.

The new president of Mexico is a communist. And has passed a new law that says that the government has the right to take your property anytime for no reason.

What bullshit,, just say the fuckn number,, how much u gottta show a month

Again someone who doesn’t know 100% what they’re talking about. The Mexican consulates DO NOT go by the Mexican daily minimum wage standards. They go by economic solvency. Especially for those who are retired and live in Mexico.

I do think Mexico doesn't want poor pensioners anymore..they don't need them

Last few times they were not automatically.. giving 180 days . Question any knowledge of Canadians immigrating as our dollar is so low. 4400 USA..is approx 6500 cdn..any experience?

It looks like you can get a retirement VISA in Mexico without having lived there - as long as you have enough income and an address in Mexico. It seems that you do not have to have lived there prior and have a residency VISA. Is that correct? I don't actually see a "Retirement VISA" as an option on the Consulate web site.

Thank you for the informative video. One thing I would note is the 180 day tourist entrance was standard procedure. However, I personally noted that often times I was only provided 30 or 60 days upon entry. I had also heard of others only getting 7 days if they were suspected of abusing the tourist visa rules. I went ahead and applied for temporary residency and it has relieved my stress levels upon entry. Maybe Mexican government has standardized the 180 entrance allowance but you never know when things can change.

Hello is it the same for Europeans? And also what if you have a lot more in savings but don’t qualify for the full amount on income per month and what do you have to prove as far as income? If you work online? Let me know is there attorneys that you guys can recommend 18:34 18:39 18:43

Wonder what the fees are in San Antonio?

The description says 73,000 a month for perm residency?

My wife has been a stay-at-home homemaker for most of her life. So, her Social Security when the time comes will be less than $1400 a month. Hopefully when the time comes, we would have sold our home and have some savings. Is it safe to assume since our accounts are in both our names that the Savings threshold would be met? Do you still have to have a monthly income threshold to meet?

So you don't.need pre paid health insirance?

We visited in January of 2024. Since we visited I have been hearing how Panamanians have been adjusting prices upward for gringos. We would like to retire there in 2025 but don’t want to end up paying what we would to retire in the US. I hate the US and don’t want to stay here. But need an affordable solution.

do you a video on giving birth to Mexico for the purpose of citizenship by birth in Mexico?

hello😉I'm a filipino from the Philippines 🇵🇭. if I buy a property in Mexico worth $500,000 can I instantly qualify combining opening a bank account in Mexico worth $300,000 for permanent resident?

The current president of Mexico is on his way out Nov 2024 so things might change with this new Female President .Also do these Residency Requirements apply to Baja California Mexico .I've known in the past that some of these laws rules etc that apply to main land Mexico don't really apply to Baja Mexico.

Pushing the idea to be Permanent Tourist instead of getting your Mexican Residency should never be allowed on your channel. Tourists Vista is for Tourist and for people not living here for most months out of the year. That's the problem with a lot of people like him, advising people to skirt the law if they can.

What if you don't have 73,000? that's a lot of money!!! What if you have Social security but you don't make enough to qualify on that alone but you do have an second income that equates to the 4,400 amount? Hopefully i'm explaing it properly

If I qualify for the Perm Residency, can I go ahead and get the PR now (making short trips to Mexico per year) until I retire in 3 years? Basically i would not be spending a lot of time in Mexico until I retire but then living there full time.

The Regularization Program is still available in 2024. No financial requirements and you do it while in Mexico. Plus you get a 4 year Residente Temporal. I did this in April, 2024 at the immigration office in Mazatlan. My tourist visa expired on April 2nd. I had my 4 year Residente Temporal on April 3rd.

Did you provide a transcript with your video?

Also, i think Cerro Azul is gaining expat popularity as well lately. Only an hour out of the city and undergoing decent development. Lots of birds and rivers, beautiful place!

Pretty spot on with the Boquete segment. I love it here 🙌🏽 😁

I didn’t hear whether there is a requirement for FBI background check.

A 180 day tourist entry is not guaranteed and Mexican customs agents do object to people with a pattern of frequent re-entering. You can always try again at a different point of entry (to avoid having to deal with the same customs agent again) because the nature of these objections seems to come down to individual preferences of these agents.

helpfull video...

Cars without brakes…yikes!

Expat? Hahaha, what a stupid thing to say... You are an immigrant, nothing more.
