Hi: We first came into Mexico early Nov. of 2022 and have been here ever since (visa runs). We hope to get temp. residency w/o the financial solvency requirements. Hopefully we can do that in Chiapas (San Cris) where we will be when our 3rd 180 day visas run out... this spring.
Pro Tip-If you want to apply for this program but cannot risk getting a 180-day FMM and waiting for it to expire, we recommend avoiding airports like Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, and Mexico City. These airports tend to automatically give tourists 180 days. Another great option is to cross into Mexico through a land border (either walking or driving). Most land borders can give you a short-term FMM. For example- The CBX border crossing in Tijuana has separate lanes for those wanting less than a 7-day FMM vs. longer FMM.
...what the heck is wrong with asking the INM airport official for a 30 day or whatever time stamp if that's what you are aiming for? ...just ask. ("por favor trenta dias senor?)... suspect that's what your'll get if you ask nicely.
Thank you for the wonderful content! So helpful and I’ve enjoyed seeing all the beauty Mexico has to offer. I will be entering Mexico under the Residency through family unity.
This was very helpful. I obtained my residency temporal via the amnesty program in November 2023. I will be sharing your link with friends and family. 🌻🧡🦋
In Thailand now. Love Mexico. It was my first choice. Too many hoops. Just wanted sunsets , a margarita now and then and some tacos. Covid, digital nomads , have ruined the dream. Still roll thru for 6 months here and there. Wonderful country. Great people. Best food in the world. But the rules blow big time.
Will be interesting with the new TH Tax law and how the uproar shakes out. I was contemplating THailand... but then taxing my capital gains tax free proceeds on a sale of a home... if I bring that money into TH... makes no sense now. Maybe the TH govt will backtrack. Hence my interest now in Mex.
Thank you for your incredible and well explained video. I entered Mexico December 3, 2023 in Puerto Vallarta. I heard before about this program, when you "overstay" your 180 or lesser days in Mexico to gain residency. Strangely enough to get what I want, by staying longer and no prove of income required is a great new start for me here in this amazing country. I have been to Mexico for the last 3 years and stayed between 100 to 180 days. Not sure how important this information is, but I do rent a place here in PV long term. But here is something which is new when I arrived in December of 2023. The FMM, or hand written paperwork letter for coming into the country was taken from the officer. Compared to the years prior, when you needed to keep it and taking care of it, until leaving Mexico to hand it back to the officer at the airport. This time, there is only a stamp in my passport from the day of entry here in Puerto Vallarta. What does that now mean??
Thank you for the fast response. Really appreciate that. I am here in Mexico, in Puerto Vallarta. I arrived December 3 2023. It might came wrong across in my message @@MexicoRelocationGuide
I tried the consulate route and had zero luck in spite of easily meeting the $ requirements, so don't get your hopes up. So I went to TJ, got a lawyer, and she used the regularization program to get me the visa. It was easy and the price was fair.
That's normal- For this reason we think you should hire a professional to help you with the residency visa process one on one.

Thanks very helpful! We were just talking about this earlier this evening! Answered several questions for us! We'll probably be in touch with you regarding rental housing for temp residents.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide yes enough to easily live in some areas but govt is like many others now including my own - they want the richer immigrants. Sad but money has always been a number one thing in our world. Cheers
@@elizagal7451 Yes. Even if someone is from Mexico. Having money gets can you to the front of the line even for the US. Many countries will quickly let someone move in if they have enough money for investing purposes.
Thank you so very much, do you offer everything with your relocation package? I did visit Cancun last year in September 2023, could I qualify in 2025? Or would I have to wait until 2026. I sent message to my email to listen again for anything I may have missed. Thanks again.
Hi, if you want to add in your guide in Canada we have a change : The Apostille Convention When the Apostille Convention comes into effect in Canada on January 11, 2024
I wouldn't recommend applying in Mazatlan for the RNE program. I would recommend going to Guadalajara, Merida, Queretaro, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, La Paz- and it is still available as long as you visited between 2015-2022
I have my stamp, I am currently in the US, Is it ok to visit Mexico City for a vacation then in a few months go to Mexico again? this time to start the RNE process and hopefully get my temporary residency. @@MexicoRelocationGuide
@@MexicoRelocationGuidedoes that mean you still have to be there now on a tourist visa from that timeframe or can you go now if you have previously been there?
Has it been helpful? It’s been mind blowing. I was ready to Renew FMM visas for years but with your expertise I might as well go for residency. Thank you extremely. I am looking further into your services offered 🇲🇽🇲🇽
Please see the 2024 requirements here Mexican Temporary Resident (Residente Temporal) For temporary residency, the following formula is used, and we have an approximate amount in USD based on an exchange rate of 18 MXN to 1 USD. Monthly Income Requirement Formula: 300 x daily minimum wage Total in USD: Approximately $4,150 USD per month Or Proof of home ownership in Mexico worth at least $553,000 USD Savings Requirement Formula: 5,000 x daily minimum wage Total in USD: Approximately $69,167 USD The income requirements vary by consulate and are NET (after taxes). Mexican Permanent Resident (Residente Permanente) For permanent residency in Mexico, the economic solvency requirements are typically higher. Using a daily minimum wage of 249 MXN and an exchange rate of 18 MXN/USD, here are the updated totals: Monthly Income Requirement Formula: 500 x daily minimum wage Total in USD: Approximately $6,917 USD per month Savings Requirement Formula: 20,000 x daily minimum wage Total in USD: Approximately $276,667 USD The income requirements vary by consulate and are NET (after taxes).

Hola Mariana ! … thank you for your consistency in providing up to date information on Mexican residency. I am very excited to hear about the program whereas not needing to display financial solvency as this would accelerate my timeline to make the move. It’s a little mind boggling to comprehend how overstaying a VISA can lead to residency rather than being punished, fined or arrested ! 🤷🏼♀️ I have a question regarding leasing a place to live without having residency status. Is it possible to rent a place long term, in order to live in it for the 180 day maximum VISA limit … but return briefly after leaving to stay for another predetermined number of days ? This would be very helpful in determining which areas of interest would be most suitable for a more permanent situation. I’m looking forward to working with your team.
Hola Mariana! Thank you for your video. This was wonderful information. I do have a specific question. My wife of 8 years holds a valid Mexican Passport as she was born in Mexico but relocated to the US with her Mother as a young child. I am a US Citizen. We are looking to retire and buy a house in Queretaro MX in about two of years. We visit MX a couple times a year. We both currently live in the US. Now my question: What residency, Temp or Perm, should we be seeking when visiting the Mexican Consulate here in the US?
You would receive a 2 year temporary residency as her husband. She doesn’t need to get a residency visa- she is a citizen. 😀 After 2 yrs you can become a permanent resident
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Thank you for your quick response! I really appreciate it! We are planning to make an appointment to visit the Mexican Consulate in Miami this week.
Great video Mariana, this cleared up a lot of questions we had about the residency visa process. My husband and I visiting Morelia next month for 29 days to get a feel for the city. We started the appointment process in November 2023 but there are no appointments showing up on the calendar at all. We also tried calling and emailing them but we were told to just keep checking back, we live in the Atlanta area. Are there other Consulates that are easier to book and appointment? Seems to me that getting the appointment is challenging in itself.
@cathyblackburn1263 Hi Cathy. I received my temporary residency visa through the Atlanta consulate last August. It wasn't easy to get an appointment until I figured out how. Appointments typically open up on Fridays. I had to log onto the site several times, but I finally got an appointment. When I went to the embassy, they had very few people processing residency visas. Hence, only a few appointments. Gook luck!!
Thank you so much for the clear information! I missed my economic solvency temp renewal by one day because I went on my expiration day and was given an appointment for the next day. Now I have to do regularization for expired residency. They asked for bank statements again. You mentioned for renewal that you don't have to actually meet the minimum bank balance. Is this also true for regularization for expired residency?
for the RNE program they might ask you for bank statement when you apply however I haven’t heard of them asking for a minimum balance. also it all depends which city you apply in
It's true some landlords require residency to rent a place, but that is actually unlawful. Civil code does not require residency to rent a place to live.
Well they would need to check your tourist visa first, and they could not rent to you for a longer period. If you live out of tourist towns they rarely ask to sign a contract.
I had a temporary resident visa for 8 years and I had an obligation to live in Mexico for 6 months plus one day. Why, you can only be a resident in one country at a time. When you have a permanent resident visa, I have had one for 10 years now. You are allowed multiple exits and entries and the best part you can stay out of the country for up to 5 years without loosing your resident status. You have 2 obligations, pay your taxes and avoid , juicios penales. You can have multiple municipal violations and it does not affect your visa. It is very easy to have a neighbor make a false accusation against you here in Mexico. I have been subpoenaed several times and all of them were false. And a good word of advice, AVOID GETTING A LAWYER in Mexico, you surely will loose your shirt and maybe go to jail. Never sign anything unless you are 110% percent sure of what is included. If you are charged they must bring in an authorized translator for you. Whenever you sign something out of necessity, so you can receive a copy, on every page put the phrase ´ no estoy conforme ´. Never believe anything anyone tells you, I speak of legal issues, most are out to ´ chingar el gringo ´. The foreigner has money and rarely has family or legal support. I have owned several properties here in Chiapas, I do all of the research and proof reading myself. I do have an honest lawyer and and honest Notario. If desired I would be glad to comment on the process for acquiring land for a foreigner. Recently the judicial reforms on land laws were renewed. I actually owned a waterfront coconut farm with one boundary being Patrimonio de Mexico, or La Zona Federal. I am well versed in the waterfront laws of ownership as well. Avoid any federal concessions if you do decide to buy waterfront.
On your video Regularization program says you need to have entered Mexico between 2015-2022. But on your website it says "You should have visited Mexico at least once before Dec 31, 2022". So if you have entered Mexico once before 2015 is the regularization program still possible?
Yes you can still apply with an entry before 2015 however it may be hard for INM to find you in their database. Before 2015, it’s harder to find visitors in the INM database Our recommended facilitators can help determine if you are in INMs databse before applying To get our directory of recommended facilitators you must first purchase our complete Mexico Relocation Guide Mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
In line with this question, (of having visited Mexico before 2015), if I still have an old passport showing stamps of entry in either Mérida or CDMX between 2000 & 2003, could I qualify for the Special Residency? If yes, it would just be a matter if traveling to Mexico, out-staying my tourist card, and then applying? It couldn't be that simple, could it?
Mariana, thank you so much for all of your hard work! I love Mexico and have been dreaming of moving there for 20+ years! I love watching your channel! I have one question regarding the temporary residency visa. In terms of investments, does home ownership in one's current country of residence count as an investment? Or do rental properties count as investments? Or is it only cash investments in the form of stocks etc? I will own 2 rental properties by the time I apply for residency - one in Canada, and one in Germany. I would prefer not to sell them, as they provide a healthy income. Thank you Mariana. I hope that's not too confusing a question. I appreciate your time! 😊
It is my understanding that Real Estate doesn't work. In addition, in my case, the name on your investment accounts (all of them, not just the most recent) must match the name on your passport exactly. Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Great video! I was confused by Mistake #8 at 15:19. You say I have to get an FMM to finish residency requirements. Yet, I seem to have heard repeatedly NOT to enter MX on an FMM when going to get residency. Does it mean that I need to enter on an FMM after the Consulate approves my TR visa?
@MexicoRelocationGuide Thank you Mariana for this information. Can you clarify that a previous visit can be any visit prior to 2022 OR does it have to be between 2015 and 2022? Thank you much!
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Ok perfect TY Mariana. Since my last trip was around 2006, I'm wondering which locations might be best for me to try from? And as you suggested I'll try and use a land crossing and ask for minimum stay visa. I'll be getting your guide and use one of your facilitators. Again thank you mych.
Great video thank you I'm a quadriplegic moving from Ontario I don't show an income but I do have a large amount of money in properties that I'm selling in the last couple years I've had upwards of 400,000 in my bank account but at the moment I am low in funds put selling my properties hopefully I can still apply
@@thepassportlife thank you I was going to book an appointment with them but maybe I will attempt emailing like you suggest as they are an hour away from my house
@@charlesquesnel2302 Good. I sent them an email and explained what is may income and I would like to know how I can get my residency. They replied and told me what documents to send back to them via email. If they will accept your documents/income, you can make an appointment in the office.
Thank you for all that info; very helpful and clear. If you have the opportunity I’d appreciate it; As Mexican citizen, do I have to be with my partner at the INM when exchanging the Stamp for the Card ? ( we live overseas ) Thank you before hand.
I have temp residency and my wife (Colombian born/Canadian citizen through marriage)wants to join me here. How do I add her as my dependent for temp residency?
? Is Mexico better than Colombia ? Just curious since you stated your wife is Colombian born. Therefore, I assume you have visited Colombia many times, to visit your wife's family. Why, Mexico ?
@@Jay-s8x7f Hi Jesse love Colombia but it’s difficult to get here. Typically we drive can-Mex so logistics are a plus for us although I love Colombia until Canada changes its communism path of destruction with WEF controlling Trudeau I’m staying as close as I can to it if I need to go back quickly. Hence my query
I tried to do the regularization program last year in Oaxaca and was told you needed to enter Mexico in 2020 or BEFORE 2020. I had entered Oct 2021 and was denied because of that. They also were talking about getting rid of this program in 2023 for many cities.
Every year there are nuances and criteria that changes because every year there are new employees at the INM offices. Sometimes, it also matters who you hired to help you (assuming you hired someone to help you). Currently the cities I recommend going to are Merida, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Queretaro, San Miguel de Allende, Los Cabos, La Paz. I'm waiting to find out more about Guadalajara, Puebla and Puerto Vallarta
Hello. Thank you for all of your awesome content. I am seriously considering residency in Mexico specifically Mexico City. Just need your insight and your thoughts on the water situation in Mexico as a whole in Mexico City in particular. There has been a lot of news about it lately, and just wanted an expert take on it.thank you in advance!
It certainly is an issue of concern in Mexico City currently because of the record low rains. So, if it's something you are worried about, I would avoid moving to CDMX to add to the issue.
For the RNE Program, I DO NOT recommend applying in Mexico City right now. They are not applying the same criteria as the other INM offices and you will likely be denied. For CDMX I only recommend Canje, Renewals, Family Unification, Change of Address, and change from temp to permanent.
Mariana, great job, I used Jackie Lange's relocation to move to Panama in early 2021-Covid with no vaccines yet - my question now is RNE moving forward as I had not visited Mexico during the specified time-I did cross the border into Reynosa in 2015 however at that time you just showed your Drivers License No Passport required and only stayed a short while probably not a qualifier-so moving forward say I visit Mexico in 2024-stay 3-6 months leave for 3 months and come back, will I be able to use the RNE program after a 6 month stay if granted that time? it will likely be 2025, i currently live in Colombia on a Visa 1-year. Thanks.
Sounds like unfortunately you don't currently qualify for the RNE program. There is a possibility they will extend it into 2025- which means visits prior to 2023 will count to qualify you. And then if they extend it into 2026 then visits before 2024 should qualify you. But currently, you wouldn't qualify because INM would have no way to verify you actually came to Mexico if you didn't register your entry
Thank you for your very informative and clear videos. I have been told and read online as of this month that: "Mexican Consulates are requiring applicants 'to be retired' to grant applications for Permanent Residency right away-even when applicants meet the economic solvency requirements." I am not retired with a pension or social security (nor am I of typical retirement age) but I meet the economic solvency requirements for permanent residency. Have you experienced this? Is this the case everywhere or is it consulate dependant?
That is common for most consulates- but don’t worry if you get temporary residency. You’re eligible for permanent residency after 4 years without any additional solvency requirements
I would like to know more about agrarian land. Specifically along the coast in Oaxaca. I purchased property there over 10 years ago and then was told I could have never owned it after meeting with legal entities and getting documents. I have spend so much time and money trying to protect what was my investment and home that I had built on the land. I had hoped to become a resident there after traveling there for so many years. I never got help or any answers. It makes my so heart broken and sick as this was my retirement and has left a very bad taste in wanting to invest anymore money where it can be so easily taken.
I would like to know more about the regularization program I was in Mexico, 2015 and 16. I haven’t been back since I’m hoping to use that when I go this year do you have more information ?

Can you tell me....if a Panamanian citizen wants to vist Mexico on the tourist visa...must they prove any sort of financial solvency upon arrival at an airport in Mexico...or are there any other requirements...other than presenting a valid passport?
Once you receive your temporary residency card, and leave Mexico, how are you supposed to re enter? I don’t want to do it wrong, get a visitors permit, and cancel my residency!
I have a 3 year temporary Visa. Once that expires, I would like a permanent residency. Will I have to show the same financial solvency since I have lived her 4 years by that time?
Thank you for the information, would you be able to recommend one of your facilitators to me as I would like to start the process, or do i need to purchase the information package first?.
Hi! To get access to our directory of recommended contacts you first need to purchase our complete Mexico Relocation Guide Mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
Really informative video, thanks! About the regularization program...If I entered to Mexico for like a month in 2023, and 2022 but left the country since, then i cant apply for this right? Im planning to go to Mexico again this summer, and stay my max, like 6 months. So if i understand right, IF this program will be still available in 2025, and i overstay and try to apply, I have a chance for resident visa? Thnaks!
One final question, What is the additional financial requirements for each child dependent for temporary residency? by the way this video hands down and Mariana's responses have been the most helpful I've found so far for this year's requirements on residency! ❤
The additional requirements for dependents depends on the consulate. They go from $500-$1500/month additional per dependent. If you cannot prove this additional amount for each dependent, don't worry. Secure your residency first, and they can travel as tourists to Mexico. Once you receive your residency card, you can then petition them without having to prove additional solvency requirements. You can petition a spouse, common law partners, children under 18 and not married, siblings under 18 and not married. If a child is over 18, you will need to prove in a Mexican court they are under your care and you are their guardian.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide , thank you Mariana! I just found your channel and just have to tell you what a great job you do . When we travel to Jalisco and or Nayarit we will be booking a tour guide through your services since you have displayed such friendliness along with knowledge and professionalism. For now I "watch" as in don't skip all the commercials since we can't quite afford the quide but as soon as we can I'm going to attempt to talk my husband into it. I'm guessing you have some great info in there for insurance and all other things we will need the inside on
Thank you for this detailed video! I have a question regarding proving you've been in Mexico before 2022. I was in Cancun in 2020 but it was with my old passport before my name change. I can't find it at the moment but in the worst case scenario (being unable to find my old passport with this stamp), is there another way to prove my visit?
@@MexicoRelocationGuide I found it lol 😆I spent the entire day tearing apart my room! Thanks for the quick reply! I did find out hours after I posted my question that in Canada you can obtain a Travel History Report through CBSA with a Traveller's API/PNR Information Request Form (BSF153).
Hi, do you know which Mexican consulate have a good record to approve TR visa for young university student? Economic solvency is meet by bank saving for 12 months, the consulate said that it is first time we see a such young applicant, we save your file and come back after you graduate from university, thanks
Question: I'm married to a Mexican natural, she was born in Mexico, my father was born in Mexico, and I was born in The USA. My mother was born in The USA as well. According to The Constitution Of The Republic Of Mexico, Chapter 30, I'm automatically a citizen through ancestry. I got my temporary residency after I married my wife, shouldn't I just try to skip the permanent residency and try to get my citizenship? My wife doesn't want me to get anything better than permanent residency, shes a lawyer, so I'm thinking exactly what you think I am: She's going to try and take me for what she can get out of me since i don't habe citizenship. I aslo qualify for the Schengen Visa through my mother's side of the family. I have 23 countries down, I want to visit a couple of countries that aren't exactly friendly to Americans. Hence the Mexican and European passports.
Regarding economic solvency, what about being on USA Disability? It's a bit different than Social Security, but provides me a monthly income forever. However, it is below the required amount you have stated. Is the amount different for those of us on Disability? Thank you!!
We have only just started looking into moving to Mexico. We have been to Mexico several times, but no stamps in our passports. We visited by cruise ship. We do live near Phoenix. Do our previous visits count? I have a receipt from buying jewelry ( sales tax refund, I think. Or, we could drive over. What do you suggest? We plan on making the move by 4 years, or earlier if I can find reliable remote work.
Hello - First, Thank you for your clear and informative content, you're helping so many people. My question is, if I am here with a 30 day visa, originally for CANJE, can I switch to go through the RNE program if I let my 30 days expire? Please let me know your thoughts if you get the chance. Thanks again!
Hello. The requirements for regularization list that we need to have "written under oath to tell the truth in which he states that he is within one of the cases of regularization." or "Escrito bajo protesta de decir verdad en el cual manifieste que se encuentre dentro de alguno de los supuestos de regularization." Does anyone know what this actually is? Is it a fillable form or do I just write it out? Thank you.
Hello my name is Johnny. I am only withholding my last name because this is public and will disclose this to you if there is a way for me to speak to you. Here is a little info about me. I have lived in Baja for about 18 years now. I have raised 4 boys there now one is in his 3rd year medical school. My last kid coming up is now 16. He wants me to adopt him and would like too. Baja is a free zone and they don’t enforce immigration on US citizens. Can you tell me who to speak with to adopt my youngest son?
I’ve been to Mexico several times in 2023 and the years prior and have the stamps. I qualify for RNE program, though due to the selling of my home taking longer, I may not get to Mexico until beginning of December, land border and will ask for 7 days. If I start my “regularization” in 2024 (as we don’t know if it will change next year)--if my application is still being processed over the new year, and the program is cancelled), would I still be considered since I started in 2024? Very Best, LMK
Hi! Thank you SO much for this video. So correct me if I am wrong. Based on your video my wife can apply for PERMANENT residency at a Mexico consulate in the USA? My self and my 2 daughters are Mexican citizens…
If my Mexican dad died 4 years ago and was never on my birth certificate but my siblings , grandparents are all in Mexico, is there anything I can do for residency?
Excellent presentation! I became a temporary resident last year. My question is, how do I avoid "accidentally" entering as a tourist versus as a resident? This is the second time I have heard this mentioned today. I don't want to mess up and loose my residency! :) Thank you!
Just present your resident card along with your passport when entering Mexico. They scan it, so there's a record of you entering as a resident. The main thing is not to forget to bring along the card.
I now have the temporary residency visa stamp in my passport. Do I need to bring financials, birth certificate, passport, etc with me to the appointment at the immigration office within Mexico?
How quick is the process typically? Is there a waiting period when you go to the consolate in the US. We are in Central Florida. We can go to either Tampa or Orlando. Are there consulate in both cities? If so, is there one that is better then the other?

Clear and very well put together. Thank you.
Hi: We first came into Mexico early Nov. of 2022 and have been here ever since (visa runs). We hope to get temp. residency w/o the financial solvency requirements. Hopefully we can do that in Chiapas (San Cris) where we will be when our 3rd 180 day visas run out... this spring.
Pro Tip-If you want to apply for this program but cannot risk getting a 180-day FMM and waiting for it to expire, we recommend avoiding airports like Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, and Mexico City. These airports tend to automatically give tourists 180 days. Another great option is to cross into Mexico through a land border (either walking or driving). Most land borders can give you a short-term FMM. For example- The CBX border crossing in Tijuana has separate lanes for those wanting less than a 7-day FMM vs. longer FMM.
...what the heck is wrong with asking the INM airport official for a 30 day or whatever time stamp if that's what you are aiming for? ...just ask. ("por favor trenta dias senor?)... suspect that's what your'll get if you ask nicely.
Clearest, best organized and most straightforward explanation I've encountered. Thanks!
Thank you for the wonderful content! So helpful and I’ve enjoyed seeing all the beauty Mexico has to offer. I will be entering Mexico under the Residency through family unity.
This was a concise video that I believe hit all of the residency marks. Well done, Mariana, and thank you for the updated information!
? Señora, Good day you ! I have a question about the acronyms about what they stand for, which are: RNE, FMM, INM, and CANJE ? Thank you, so much !
This was very helpful. I obtained my residency temporal via the amnesty program in November 2023. I will be sharing your link with friends and family. 🌻🧡🦋
Thanks Mariana! Thank you for breaking this down. This was very helpful!
thank you. we're going down in February to do the canje. so excited to complete the process we dreamed about 3 years ago
In Thailand now. Love Mexico. It was my first choice. Too many hoops. Just wanted sunsets , a margarita now and then and some tacos. Covid, digital nomads , have ruined the dream. Still roll thru for 6 months here and there. Wonderful country. Great people. Best food in the world. But the rules blow big time.
Always begins with ridiculously overpriced American diners 😂! The foods always not worth the price.
So true.
Will be interesting with the new TH Tax law and how the uproar shakes out. I was contemplating THailand... but then taxing my capital gains tax free proceeds on a sale of a home... if I bring that money into TH... makes no sense now. Maybe the TH govt will backtrack. Hence my interest now in Mex.
Love Thailand just too far from kids in USA
I’m glad that Mexico is making it more difficult , definitely seems like an over saturation.
I watched many videos on this topic, and this is the best one.
Thank you for your incredible and well explained video. I entered Mexico December 3, 2023 in Puerto Vallarta. I heard before about this program, when you "overstay" your 180 or lesser days in Mexico to gain residency. Strangely enough to get what I want, by staying longer and no prove of income required is a great new start for me here in this amazing country. I have been to Mexico for the last 3 years and stayed between 100 to 180 days. Not sure how important this information is, but I do rent a place here in PV long term.
But here is something which is new when I arrived in December of 2023. The FMM, or hand written paperwork letter for coming into the country was taken from the officer. Compared to the years prior, when you needed to keep it and taking care of it, until leaving Mexico to hand it back to the officer at the airport.
This time, there is only a stamp in my passport from the day of entry here in Puerto Vallarta. What does that now mean??
You’re still eligible. Even though now they do all FMMs digitally. If I were you I’d plan a trip to Mexico soon to take advantage of this program
Thank you for the fast response. Really appreciate that. I am here in Mexico, in Puerto Vallarta. I arrived December 3 2023. It might came wrong across in my message @@MexicoRelocationGuide
I tried the consulate route and had zero luck in spite of easily meeting the $ requirements, so don't get your hopes up. So I went to TJ, got a lawyer, and she used the regularization program to get me the visa. It was easy and the price was fair.
What does TJ stand for?

What if we have purchased real estate in Baja and plan to build??
Hola Mariana ! … thank you for your consistency in providing up to date information on Mexican residency. I am very excited to hear about the program whereas not needing to display financial solvency as this would accelerate my timeline to make the move. It’s a little mind boggling to comprehend how overstaying a VISA can lead to residency rather than being punished, fined or arrested ! 🤷🏼♀️
I have a question regarding leasing a place to live without having residency status. Is it possible to rent a place long term, in order to live in it for the 180 day maximum VISA limit … but return briefly after leaving to stay for another predetermined number of days ? This would be very helpful in determining which areas of interest would be most suitable for a more permanent situation.
I’m looking forward to working with your team.
I wish the United States treated Mexicans with the same welcoming arms as Mexico treats people from the USA
Outstanding information and presentation. Thank you!
Yes! I visited in 2015 and am planning 2 move in September! Gracias cHica. Tu eres adorable 🙈🍄👣🇲🇽🌮🫔☀️💦✨
Good luck!!
I am 53. I have a pension from a government source, and VA disability. Can those two combine be considered as income for a retirement visa?
? Did you find the answer ?
@@Jay-s8x7fnope. being nothing is consistent, to me the best thing to do is to include it anyway because all they can do is say no.
Hola Mariana! Thank you for your video. This was wonderful information. I do have a specific question. My wife of 8 years holds a valid Mexican Passport as she was born in Mexico but relocated to the US with her Mother as a young child. I am a US Citizen. We are looking to retire and buy a house in Queretaro MX in about two of years. We visit MX a couple times a year. We both currently live in the US. Now my question: What residency, Temp or Perm, should we be seeking when visiting the Mexican Consulate here in the US?
You would receive a 2 year temporary residency as her husband. She doesn’t need to get a residency visa- she is a citizen. 😀
After 2 yrs you can become a permanent resident
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Thank you for your quick response! I really appreciate it! We are planning to make an appointment to visit the Mexican Consulate in Miami this week.
Very interesting information... As usual!
Great video Mariana, this cleared up a lot of questions we had about the residency visa process. My husband and I visiting Morelia next month for 29 days to get a feel for the city. We started the appointment process in November 2023 but there are no appointments showing up on the calendar at all. We also tried calling and emailing them but we were told to just keep checking back, we live in the Atlanta area. Are there other Consulates that are easier to book and appointment? Seems to me that getting the appointment is challenging in itself.
@cathyblackburn1263 Hi Cathy. I received my temporary residency visa through the Atlanta consulate last August. It wasn't easy to get an appointment until I figured out how. Appointments typically open up on Fridays. I had to log onto the site several times, but I finally got an appointment. When I went to the embassy, they had very few people processing residency visas. Hence, only a few appointments. Gook luck!!
Thank you so much for the clear information!
I missed my economic solvency temp renewal by one day because I went on my expiration day and was given an appointment for the next day. Now I have to do regularization for expired residency.
They asked for bank statements again. You mentioned for renewal that you don't have to actually meet the minimum bank balance. Is this also true for regularization for expired residency?
for the RNE program they might ask you for bank statement when you apply however I haven’t heard of them asking for a minimum balance. also it all depends which city you apply in
Best Video. Very clear. Thank you so much 😊
It's true some landlords require residency to rent a place, but that is actually unlawful. Civil code does not require residency to rent a place to live.
Well they would need to check your tourist visa first, and they could not rent to you for a longer period. If you live out of tourist towns they rarely ask to sign a contract.
I had a temporary resident visa for 8 years and I had an obligation to live in Mexico for 6 months plus one day. Why, you can only be a resident in one country at a time. When you have a permanent resident visa, I have had one for 10 years now. You are allowed multiple exits and entries and the best part you can stay out of the country for up to 5 years without loosing your resident status. You have 2 obligations, pay your taxes and avoid , juicios penales. You can have multiple municipal violations and it does not affect your visa. It is very easy to have a neighbor make a false accusation against you here in Mexico. I have been subpoenaed several times and all of them were false. And a good word of advice, AVOID GETTING A LAWYER in Mexico, you surely will loose your shirt and maybe go to jail. Never sign anything unless you are 110% percent sure of what is included. If you are charged they must bring in an authorized translator for you. Whenever you sign something out of necessity, so you can receive a copy, on every page put the phrase ´ no estoy conforme ´. Never believe anything anyone tells you, I speak of legal issues, most are out to ´ chingar el gringo ´. The foreigner has money and rarely has family or legal support. I have owned several properties here in Chiapas, I do all of the research and proof reading myself. I do have an honest lawyer and and honest Notario. If desired I would be glad to comment on the process for acquiring land for a foreigner. Recently the judicial reforms on land laws were renewed. I actually owned a waterfront coconut farm with one boundary being Patrimonio de Mexico, or La Zona Federal. I am well versed in the waterfront laws of ownership as well. Avoid any federal concessions if you do decide to buy waterfront.
Thank you. Excellent.

On your video Regularization program says you need to have entered Mexico between 2015-2022. But on your website it says "You should have visited Mexico at least once before Dec 31, 2022". So if you have entered Mexico once before 2015 is the regularization program still possible?
Yes you can still apply with an entry before 2015 however it may be hard for INM to find you in their database. Before 2015, it’s harder to find visitors in the INM database

In line with this question, (of having visited Mexico before 2015), if I still have an old passport showing stamps of entry in either Mérida or CDMX between 2000 & 2003, could I qualify for the Special Residency?
If yes, it would just be a matter if traveling to Mexico, out-staying my tourist card, and then applying?
It couldn't be that simple, could it?
Thank you so much for the video and great information. I really appreciate all your hard work
Mariana, thank you so much for all of your hard work! I love Mexico and have been dreaming of moving there for 20+ years! I love watching your channel!
I have one question regarding the temporary residency visa. In terms of investments, does home ownership in one's current country of residence count as an investment? Or do rental properties count as investments? Or is it only cash investments in the form of stocks etc? I will own 2 rental properties by the time I apply for residency - one in Canada, and one in Germany. I would prefer not to sell them, as they provide a healthy income.
Thank you Mariana. I hope that's not too confusing a question. I appreciate your time! 😊
It is my understanding that Real Estate doesn't work. In addition, in my case, the name on your investment accounts (all of them, not just the most recent) must match the name on your passport exactly.
Please correct me if I am mistaken.
Great video! I was confused by Mistake #8 at 15:19. You say I have to get an FMM to finish residency requirements. Yet, I seem to have heard repeatedly NOT to enter MX on an FMM when going to get residency. Does it mean that I need to enter on an FMM after the Consulate approves my TR visa?
Thank you for this, very helpful ❤
😎Good video. Do bank statements or brokerage statements need a stamp?
Or could I just print out online statements to prove financial solvency?
Wow. I have to pay $495 US dollars to get your list of facilitators!? That’s a bit dear.

love Colombia but it’s difficult to get here. Typically we drive can-Mex so logistics are a plus for us although I love Colombia until Canada changes its communism path of destruction with WEF controlling Trudeau I’m staying as close as I can to it if I need to go back quickly. Hence my query
@@james_costeno thanks for the positive feedback.
I tried to do the regularization program last year in Oaxaca and was told you needed to enter Mexico in 2020 or BEFORE 2020. I had entered Oct 2021 and was denied because of that. They also were talking about getting rid of this program in 2023 for many cities.
Every year there are nuances and criteria that changes because every year there are new employees at the INM offices. Sometimes, it also matters who you hired to help you (assuming you hired someone to help you). Currently the cities I recommend going to are Merida, Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Queretaro, San Miguel de Allende, Los Cabos, La Paz. I'm waiting to find out more about Guadalajara, Puebla and Puerto Vallarta
@@MexicoRelocationGuide will be back in Mexico soon so will try one of these cities. Thanks!
Hello. Thank you for all of your awesome content. I am seriously considering residency in Mexico specifically Mexico City. Just need your insight and your thoughts on the water situation in Mexico as a whole in Mexico City in particular. There has been a lot of news about it lately, and just wanted an expert take on it.thank you in advance!
It certainly is an issue of concern in Mexico City currently because of the record low rains. So, if it's something you are worried about, I would avoid moving to CDMX to add to the issue.
For the RNE Program, I DO NOT recommend applying in Mexico City right now. They are not applying the same criteria as the other INM offices and you will likely be denied.
For CDMX I only recommend Canje, Renewals, Family Unification, Change of Address, and change from temp to permanent.
Excellent content
Thank you so much for all of this information! Happy New Year!
This been VERY helpful. thank you so much
Mariana, great job, I used Jackie Lange's relocation to move to Panama in early 2021-Covid with no vaccines yet - my question now is RNE moving forward as I had not visited Mexico during the specified time-I did cross the border into Reynosa in 2015 however at that time you just showed your Drivers License No Passport required and only stayed a short while probably not a qualifier-so moving forward say I visit Mexico in 2024-stay 3-6 months leave for 3 months and come back, will I be able to use the RNE program after a 6 month stay if granted that time? it will likely be 2025, i currently live in Colombia on a Visa 1-year. Thanks.
Sounds like unfortunately you don't currently qualify for the RNE program. There is a possibility they will extend it into 2025- which means visits prior to 2023 will count to qualify you. And then if they extend it into 2026 then visits before 2024 should qualify you. But currently, you wouldn't qualify because INM would have no way to verify you actually came to Mexico if you didn't register your entry
Excellent video!
Thank you for your very informative and clear videos. I have been told and read online as of this month that: "Mexican Consulates are requiring applicants 'to be retired' to grant applications for Permanent Residency right away-even when applicants meet the economic solvency requirements." I am not retired with a pension or social security (nor am I of typical retirement age) but I meet the economic solvency requirements for permanent residency. Have you experienced this? Is this the case everywhere or is it consulate dependant?
That is common for most consulates- but don’t worry if you get temporary residency. You’re eligible for permanent residency after 4 years without any additional solvency requirements
I would like to know more about agrarian land. Specifically along the coast in Oaxaca. I purchased property there over 10 years ago and then was told I could have never owned it after meeting with legal entities and getting documents. I have spend so much time and money trying to protect what was my investment and home that I had built on the land. I had hoped to become a resident there after traveling there for so many years. I never got help or any answers. It makes my so heart broken and sick as this was my retirement and has left a very bad taste in wanting to invest anymore money where it can be so easily taken.

One final question, What is the additional financial requirements for each child dependent for temporary residency? by the way this video hands down and Mariana's responses have been the most helpful I've found so far for this year's requirements on residency! ❤
The additional requirements for dependents depends on the consulate. They go from $500-$1500/month additional per dependent.
If you cannot prove this additional amount for each dependent, don't worry. Secure your residency first, and they can travel as tourists to Mexico. Once you receive your residency card, you can then petition them without having to prove additional solvency requirements. You can petition a spouse, common law partners, children under 18 and not married, siblings under 18 and not married. If a child is over 18, you will need to prove in a Mexican court they are under your care and you are their guardian.

Question: I'm married to a Mexican natural, she was born in Mexico, my father was born in Mexico, and I was born in The USA. My mother was born in The USA as well. According to The Constitution Of The Republic Of Mexico, Chapter 30, I'm automatically a citizen through ancestry. I got my temporary residency after I married my wife, shouldn't I just try to skip the permanent residency and try to get my citizenship? My wife doesn't want me to get anything better than permanent residency, shes a lawyer, so I'm thinking exactly what you think I am: She's going to try and take me for what she can get out of me since i don't habe citizenship. I aslo qualify for the Schengen Visa through my mother's side of the family. I have 23 countries down, I want to visit a couple of countries that aren't exactly friendly to Americans. Hence the Mexican and European passports.
for the TR, is the amount gross or net income? How do you know where to go for the lesser of the amount since it varies from $3450-$4600?
This video is very helpful
Regarding economic solvency, what about being on USA Disability? It's a bit different than Social Security, but provides me a monthly income forever. However, it is below the required amount you have stated. Is the amount different for those of us on Disability? Thank you!!
Sadly no.
We have only just started looking into moving to Mexico. We have been to Mexico several times, but no stamps in our passports. We visited by cruise ship. We do live near Phoenix.

Just present your resident card along with your passport when entering Mexico. They scan it, so there's a record of you entering as a resident. The main thing is not to forget to bring along the card.
Just show your residency card, and never use the automated kiosks

How would you enter as a tourist if you are a resident? How do you enter when you have your consulate info to finish the residency?
If you enter as a tourist while you are a resident you will lose your residency
Question about the FMM… now that many airports do not have a paper FMM, simply stamping your passport, how does that work when doing the canaje?
How quick is the process typically? Is there a waiting period when you go to the consolate in the US. We are in Central Florida. We can go to either Tampa or Orlando. Are there consulate in both cities? If so, is there one that is better then the other?
Orlando would be the best consulate
