      Plus, Mariana is just a pleasure to deal with. She's answered several questions for me and I've very much enjoyed our conversations. It also helps that the MRG won't recommend a product or service based solely on second hand information. You're getting verified information from somebody who knows the material well.

    Hi Paul, I’m Mexico Relocation’s Guide here in Playa Del Carmen. Mariana’s services and guide are top notch. Over the past year we have done a few video interviews and live streams touching on many of the points you covered. Coupled with your excellent videos and her detailed approach to getting “boots on the ground” info about what life in Mexico is really like it’s a win win combination! I’m a big fan and every time I’m at Lol-Ha I hope that one of these days our paths will cross!

    Paul, you've done so well, I found your blog first. It was a joy to watch you do a RUclips channel! Your information is spot on, and you are amazing at RUclips! I've been in Mexico since 1989 on a part time basis, and since 2009 on a full time basis. I can vouch: your information is absolutely correct on everything. When I retired from the federal government in 2015, it allowed me to experience Mexico the way that we as retired folks should. With fun, caution, and with all our hearts.

    As usual, your insights are invaluable for prospective expats. I hope you can revisit the topic of safety. This is singularly the most challenging concern that keeps us from taking the plunge…Areas of concern: police corruption, abduction, cartel violence, etc.. I’m sure you have previously addressed these topics however it would be good to see if your experiences have changed your initial perspectives.

    YES!... I agree with all the positive comments. Glad to have finally found "the real deal" source of information. And you do it so well. I was disappointed yet glad when hearing about the car import scenario. I DO want to travel into Mexico with my car (nine years old haha) because I'd like to travel the country leisurely in order to find my spot. There are SO many places that attract me. But now I'm faced with the conundrum of having to go for the temporary residency, when I would really prefer to go for the permanent one right away. Coming with my car would also allow me to load up my car (Subaru Impreza 2013 hatchback, less than 40K miles) with my belongings which seems so much easier than shipping suitcases, but perhaps it's not?... Any and all feedback would be so very greatly appreciated. Your videos ROCK! Muchos Gracias!

    Car related; I drove my 27yr old Honda American plated car from California to my condo in Cabo, Mexico (what an experience!) Next step, I will be getting South Dakota license plates. According to one of your videos, Americans drive these plated cars in Mexico, without a problem. And of course I will be applying for Mexican residency. I’m keeping my small 1 br condo just for vacation purposes (love it!) And I will be keeping my Mexican property manager, Maria, just to get things done for me. And will look at the web site resource you refer to. Gracias Paul !

      @@teresaschmidt5636 I need a California SMOG CHECK every two years to be allowed to renew my CA registration on my US plated car in Cabo. So that wouldn't work. South Dakota does not require that (already transferred my reg'n To So. Dakota; was easy to do).

    One main reason to move to Mexico as a permanent resident would be to avoid having to pay the high taxes in Canada. The issue with transferring money from a Canadian to a Mexican bank would be a red flag for Revenue Canada. The CRA would deem you to still be a resident and therefore be liable to pay taxes. One option might be to move your money to a Caribbean country with favourable banking laws (Turks & Caicos) and then transfer money as needed and check the rates as stated.
