We rented our home in the states exactly like they rent in the Yucatán to Nicaraguans refugees. Fully furnished, internet, utilities in our name. Everybody needs a chance at life. ❤
Good information about Mexico and living in Mexico as an expat. Been living in Puerto Vallarta for three years, and you get down to the “nitty gritty “.
Thank you for this. I’m planning on moving to Mexico with my husband. We both are Mexico citizens but I haven’t been in Mexico since I was 2. This is still good knowledge to know.
I walked into Walmart and bought a Motorola phone for 3000 pesos and pay $300 a month for 40 MB and I can hotspot 6 devices like my smart TV that way if you're moving around you have good internet at a reasonable price and a Mexican phone
Hey Guys! If Your comment Disappears it is not me they just automatically disappear if the computer doesn't like something in the comment. Just re-write the comment and post again. My apologies. Thank you!
Thanks for your informative and entertaining content. Is there a way to go from the 1 year temporary residence directly to the permanent one without the 3 year extension ?
Thats a great question! I think it is on a case by case basis. I would contact Jose the Lawyer I did the livestream with recently and ask him directly jmnovelo@mxlegalandtaxes.com
Just a comment about Tax . . If you are an employee of a Company, you do get payroll deductions (Federal Tax, State Tax, etc specified in your payroll receipt) or if you are an independent professional who works self-employed , you need to make a ISR declaration, what would be a 1099 in the usa.
Not in my case, i have a temp residence and could not open a banknaccount unless I got electricity or phone on my name. So i am without a bank account.
Jose, I would like to get Mexico driver's license. I've heard front of DMV I can hire license broker and expedite the process. If it's true do you know how much brokers charge for the service?
Depends on what state of Mexico you are in. Here in the Yucatan it is a bit more difficult than in other parts of the country but it can be done. I am in the process of getting mine right now and will talk about the whole experience in an upcoming video. I could not find any brokers but i did find a driving school that says once I pass with them I can automatically get my license without any more testing. In a place like Mexico City you just walk in with some cash a CFE Bill and your ID and you get a license. Like i said each state is different, but regardless i will keep you posted
Looks like at least a third of the comments have been deleted. My comment was about Mexico adopting a Central Bank Digital Currency possibly in 2024. I had a link but...something to think about for people moving here...
No more fmm yea I almost cancelled my Vietnam trip 😆Departamento ambuelado definitely 👌 You can't even get a hostel without a passport 😆 banco azteca wouldn't let me exchange cash but ci banco will allow 1500 USD conversion per month with the best rate too 👌
Yes you can! I made some videos on my channel interviewing a few people that made the drive and will be doing another interview in the near future filled with tons of information for anyone looking to make the drive themselves!
All depends on many factors, but a common practice is to use the deposits you have with the landlord as your last months rent that way neither party has to worry about returning a deposit.
I rented a house for 6 months in Tlaquepaque with just my name. The owner just wanted to see a bank statement to show that I could afford it. I just dropped off the rent once a month. No contact and no receipt. Lol.
Welcome aboard! Great Question! Well it's actually not that hard they got your traditional Car rental companies out here and they also have smaller ones with cheaper prices. You can find most of the cheaper car rental places in the Facebook groups. Try checking out there. But all you need is a valid license from any country and thats it you can drive in Mexico. Hope that helps!
Hi there! You can click one of the many links in the description and send me anything you want through PayPal or any other method I have listed below. Thanks again for your contribution!
All they ask for is passport and visa. That is your only form of identification here in Mexico. btw as i mentioned in the video there are places that will rent out to you without any ID and just care about the cash.
I thought you needed a Mexican driver's license to register a vehicle. Maybe it's different in different provinces or I just heard wrong? That would make life easier for sure.
I have no idea. You need to check with your American credit card companies and see if they allow that in Mexico. Only ones Approved to get regular loans need to be Mexican Citizens and hold a job.
I just applied for a residence VISA at the Mexican consulate in Chicago. I'll know by the 20th if it's approved & planning a trip in November to open a bank account.
Yes you can. I moved out here on a tourist Visa and lived on one for years before getting residency. Many people live in Mexico with just a tourist visa which they renew every 180 days
"Brah! Brah! Brah!". That is so infantile and not resonate well with the useful information you are providing us. Please take this as constructive criticism. You don't need extra soundbites for me to enjoy your content.
Well I enjoy it and i know many of my viewers enjoy it too so thats why i add them in along with the other sound effects. Life is not meant to be taken so seriously in my opinion. Thats why i like to add them in there to keeps things light hearted and fun. Again I am no authority on anything, and anyone claiming to be an expert in anything is usually full of 💩 Thanks for the kind words though!

Is the lawyer paper enough to get your deposit back? Or the aval.... the double deposit
Yes the contract is enough. Otherwise you need a lawyer or you can just stay those months for free since you already prepaid 😅
As usual ; very informative and funny 😎🙏👋!

What is a CFE bill

Looks like at least a third of the comments have been deleted.
My comment was about Mexico adopting a Central Bank Digital Currency possibly in 2024.
I had a link but...something to think about for people moving here...
Yeah man lots of spam bots i have to delete myself and then the ones they choose to delete are actual comments go figure
i think the phone word your looking for is "unlocked". you have to buy the phone outright which allows
you to buy a service from any company
Thanks for clarifying!
Do they have month to month rentals? I don't like immediately signing 6 mth lease
Yes they do! You should check out Airbnb.com
I'm going to Yucatan
Awesome!
I fear not having enough income and want to know if I could open a small shop in merida to supplement my income?

@@JoseArteagaTravels awesome thanks for responding!!
Do you get your deposit back after your lease expired?
All depends on many factors, but a common practice is to use the deposits you have with the landlord as your last months rent that way neither party has to worry about returning a deposit.

Hi Jose I just subscribed to your channel and I love all the info, I wanted to know how I go about renting a car?

Can I get a Mexican checking account? I’m a single woman moving to Ensenada and I have been advised not to carry pesos…Thank you 🙏

Thank you! Yes! I completely had a brain freeze there! LOL
I thought you needed a Mexican driver's license to register a vehicle. Maybe it's different in different provinces or I just heard wrong? That would make life easier for sure.
Apperantly you don't need one. I did it with my expired CA license and I was just told to get one as soon as possible. But that's it. Easy peasy
Thanks!
You're very welcome!
Good information
