Thank you for the live, very informational re: 2025 requirements. Yes, it would be great if all consulates used the same formula! Gabi is so knowledgeable!
Hola Mariana! New to your channel from outside of Toronto, Canada. Here's hoping that the Mexican government approves the UMAS proposal. What a huge difference that will make! We don't qualify with the monthly temporary requirements but we would with savings, even though the Consulate in Toronto says the amount is per person. We're considering Mexico as our retirement destination but may have to go with Plan B, which is Panama. Looking forward to an update when you have one. Muchas gracias!
Mexican citizens should earn a good minimum wage to afford to live . But to require USA residents to earn $4,400 monthly income for temporary residence visa , is very high
Nice! Check out our site to help you start your research and learn what you need to know about moving to Mexico the right way Mexicorelocationguide.com/blog/
It is being updated almost daily right now. But As soon as we have new information we update it. We plan to reach out to the consulates some time in mid January and when they respond, we start updating our guide. Everything else gets updated when we have new information.
my wife and I got our perm residency three years ago when the property requirements were like 270k. wow it has more than doubled. We bought in Cozumel (where my wife is currently) while I am working in California. Anyways, we had no trouble getting approved.
I just read the current rules to qualify under the RNE Auspices for temporary residency. It's my understanding after reading the requirements that we may reenter Mexico from outside the country is this true? I have many crossings, a couple passport stamps for Cancun x2, Puerto Vallarta 😢 no mm forms to memory. (Only required for Baja Norte trip l). None required for Ensanada, Rosarito, TJ but I have Dental receipts, Hotel and Mexican Car Insurance documentation. Most is prior to 2011. The NRE Instructions state they may accept evidence other than MM /stamp. I could start the estimated 30 days stay until temp residency issuance next quarter IF the program remains. My only issue is that my passport is 2+ year expired and efforts for appointments with urgent travel failed 3x due to crisis for migrants at the boarder seeking asylum here. I had a dental emergency, purchases one year car insurance as the Passport Office suggested as proof of planned travel. It was impossible. No walkins allowed. I didn't send in documents with a reported 5+ month delay. Almost went anyway under advise my birth certificate and recently expired passport plus drivers license would get me back in the States. I chickened out. I didn't understand what you were saying disqualified the questioner from using the NRE. Have you secured any temp residencies under this program? Also, what is your San Yesidro or Otay Mesa or Tecate immigration offices (if they all have one) opinions? I would definitely enlist your services. If this program still lives in late February or March, It would be spectacular. I have future plans, Dental plans, and may need to secure a rental for my amiga. Thank you!
If you would like help with that process we do have a couple of excellent immigration facilitators that can help you book your consulate appointment at either those consulates or another one with sooner availability. See what’s included when you buy our online guide and directory of contacts. Mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
You have to apply at your local consulate for whichever residency you want then you travel to Mexico for your "canje" and finish the process there. You cannot start the process in Mexico unless you will qualify for the RNE program. Good luck!
I have a question. If you’re using a 403b account, does the consulate look at your total balance as it appears on your statements or do they consider the taxes that you’ll have to pay if and when withdrawals are made? Thank you!
My grandparents and great grandparents were born in mexico and me an my brother are interested in moving to Mexico and would like to see how to go about naturalization in this way. Is this possible? and what documents would I need to prove this and does the government have access to verify mexican citizens that are deceased?
21:15 do I need to get a tourist visa to come, or just Passport ? I want to visit, explore, then move to the best place for me. Does a stamp in my passport count toward getting a temporary residency visa?
If you are staying 6 months every year you are basically living in Mexico without actually being a resident. 😉 and immigration can deny you entry next time you come or can give you a shorter term tourist permit
If you were in Mexico before even 2020 and come back now and have a expired tourists visa does the regulation program still apply? The record is in the passport stamp so would having that help them find you?
Thank you for your informative videos. I like that you brought an expert on. Are Mexicans getting tired of Americans and others immigrating there? Sounds like we are driving up prices for the natives. I do t like that .

I've been trying to schedule an appointment with the Mexican embassy to get my temporary residency reviewed, but it seems impossible to find an appoinment. The closest embassies to me in San Antonio, Austin, Lareo, and Houston have diredtred me to the Mexican embassy site. It appears that the only appointments availabe are for passports, an INE, and some other thing that I'm not familiar with but doesn't apply to me.
@@gregorriusadolphus2729 I definitely hear you, I've been trying to get an appointment at the Mexican consulate in Indianapolis (I live in Cincinnati Ohio 2hrs away) to apply for dual citizenship but the folks there on the phone just kinda brush me off like I'm bothering them with something petty and couldn't be bothered. They tell me to go online but at the same time they don't know when any new appointments will be available....I wonder if I can accomplish this in Mexico? Any thoughts, recommendations and ideas are gladly welcomed and appreciated...Happy Holidays to all!!..
@@ralphlozano9177 atleast you can get them to answer the phone. The consulates in Texas won’t answer the phone and when you try to leave a message….the mailbox is full
@@MexicoRelocationGuide actually I've called them twice and have spoken to someone at the Indianapolis Mexican consulate the problem is they say is there are no new appointments being issued and don't know when they're going to open up new ones then they refer me to the Indianapolis consulate website which doesnt help my situation in the least.
If you qualify for residency, we recommend reaching out to a facilitator first. Our online guide gives you our directory of recommendations. 😀 mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
If you want residency you need to go to a Mexican consulate near you. If you are just visiting they will give you a visa at the point of entry for 6 months or less. You could hire someone in Canada or Mexico who specializes in helping people get resident status.
Since consulates do vary, can a Florida resident obtain an appt at an embassy in Texas, San Francisco or Atlanta, Ga. which have much lower residency requirements (now)? Thank you.
Hola! To get access to our recommendations like Gaby, you would first need to purchase our complete Mexico Relocation Guide. It has the steps for moving to Mexico and our directory of contacts- mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
Las Vegas Consulate rep was extremely rude and needlessly difficult. I recommend San Francisco - call the actual consulate on Folsom Street, not the WhatsApp number, etc.
Will they process the paperwork for someone who resides in Florida? I find my closer embassy impossible to work with--just to get an appt. My emails--to their listed address--come back as undeliverable.
What if your citizen from another Spanish country? Can you naturalize as a Mexican citizen or do you know anyone that’s gone through their naturalization process and succeeded.
No.. citizenship from European countries, such as Spain, will NOT give you any special treatment in order to get temporary/permanent residency or citizenship. Latin America yes in 2 years of living in Mexico and the tip of Spain Iberian Peninsula region.
@kellyname5733 You are wrong. Latin American citizens can get Mexican citizenship after just 2 years of living in Mexico. It's one of the fastest citizenship available for Latin America countries and Spain as well. You need to consult with a proper Mexican immigration firm, such as D.IA.M. SC

@GlenHavenRoadSoquelCalifornia 73 and just escaped the US in the Summer with pets! I have lived 2 different places and never had a reason to be fearful of anything. I walk to shop local and catch an "InDrive" to go deeper into the city. Quite inexpensive. There are also public buses in Puerto Vallarta that cost like $0.50 each way. As anywhere, I am not walking around in dark neighborhoods at night - common sense. Aside from law enforcement, I have never seen a person carrying a gun here. Mexican people have been very helpful, even if you aren't perfect in Spanish! And, they are not against renters having pets! That was a huge problem for me in the US. Come on down - I can afford to eat, feed my pets and buy the supplements I need, too
Thanks for the video. Your friend is blurry, maybe something is wrong with her camera. Claudia and Trump talked on Nov. 26. 2024 and it was a good conversation. They had a meeting of the minds concerning 'illegal immigration' and many other topics. They have already began to work together. Facebook-Getting Mexican Residency will be a good resource for facilitators to help in the process for getting temporary residency. The consulate process you will need to do on your own but the rest of the process can be done with a facilitator. It will be the best $150-$250 you have ever spent. They do all the paperwork , make the appt. and translate for you. $3500 to $5000 is crazy for current income requirements, when will it become completely ridiculous. Oh wait, it is completely ridiculous now. If the UMA doesn't pass officially then hopefully the RNE will get renewed.
$4500 to $5000 USD to CAD is 80-85k/yr and is Very High! And few people here would be able to get. Its also unclear if thats Gross or Net Income.. so someone making 80k in Canada is going to be making like 50k Net due to taxes and not even close to ever getting.. ud basically have to be upper class by that amount.. 🤷🏼♂️🤔
I was going to move to Mexico with my family, but unfortunately nowadays Mexico is more dangerous than Afghanistan. 200K homicides just in the last few years, countless kidnappings, extortion, the list of crimes is endless. So Im moving to a much safer country, Thailand.
Depends where you live in Mexicao. We are very safe on Cozumel tourists and ex=pats are good unless you are buying drugs. At that point, anything could happen I suppose.

It is way too expensive to retire in Mexico. You have to be a high-income retiree in order to retire there. I just moved from there after two years.
