Move to Mexico Tips (2023 Update):
Tip #1: Prepare Immigration Documents
Many people move to Mexico because they love the relaxed lifestyle. Plus, Mexican culture is unique and exciting. However, before you begin your adventure, make you properly prepare your immgration documents ahead of time. To start with, there is residency paperwork that must be completed ahead of time before you leave your home country. To start, make an appointment with the Mexican consulate in your area. They can help guide you on how to proceed. Based on your income level, you can either apply for the standard tourist visa or a permanent resident visa if you qualify. Remember, it is required to have your residency paperwork in order before you arrive in Mexico. Once you have been issued a residency visa, you are able to finish the process when you arrive in Mexico. It’s the first step to a smooth transition to your new life.
