Navigating Residency in Mexico

If you plan to buy a property and stay past the 180 days allowed, or if you are planning for retirement for your future living in Mexico, you will find that getting a permit to reside in Mexico is a formality provided that you can prove a regular income and fulfill the retirement criteria.

You can go through the process on your own, but most people have difficulties navigating the government process. You can hire a facilitator, but the pricing and outcomes are all over the map.

This process can be arduous and takes some time. We suggest that if this is a goal for now or in the future, you start the process as soon as possible because the government requirements are always changing and seem to be becoming more restrictive. There are advantages to having a permit, such as health care and banking needs.

If you are utilizing the services of MEXLAW with your purchase and obtaining a mortgage through MEXLOAN, which also uses the legal services of MEXLAW, I would suggest that you speak with them about your immigration needs. As MEXLAW is an international legal firm, they have lawyers who can assist you with your needs in a variety of areas of law.

We recommend the professionalism and knowledge of MEXLAW as they can streamline many of their services to help you get into your new desired lifestyle.
