Hello from Mt. Shasta Ca. I applied for and received my permanent residency through the Yuma consulate in February. Permanent residency required either $293k savings or $7500 per month. I finalized my residency in Puerto Vallarta in March (the day after I arrived). I would highly recommend using a facilitator when you finalize in Mexico. I would not have wanted to figure it out on my own, especially since I don't speak Spanish. The small cost of the facilitator is well worth it. After receiving my Permanent Residency card (one day after arriving) I purchased a condo there. I would not have qualified if I had purchased the condo first. Keep that in mind if you are using your savings to qualify and intend to buy a home there
@@kingmelanin7468 $7.5k is the monthly income requirement ( or $230k in savings) to 'qualify' for 'permenant' residency at the Yuma consulate. Not a fee to be paid! The facilitator only is involved at the emigration office in Mexico. Solvency requirements are less for 'temporary' residency. My facilitator 'fee' was about $250 IIRC
@@bobnankervis9722 Ah, I called a few consulates and the temporary residency requires $3200, +/- $500. I think that's pretty high for a country with a $2.5/hr minimum wage. I've been debating Portugal or Brazil. It costs about half with better infrastructure. Good luck!
Marianna, your videos are excellent! They are always informative, well planned, and personable. You, your Mexico Relocation Guide and your channel are a true asset to anyone considering moving to Mexico!
Thank you, Marianna for all of this helpful information. I just checked the solvency requirements for different U.S. cities/embassies and the variations are quite remarkable. At least there are a few that have thresholds I could meet. Granted, I have to travel over 1000 miles to any one of them!
Great video, as usual! Regarding the suggestion about applying for residency long before one might need it, I have a question that I have not seen addressed anywhere. Hopefully, you can help! 🤞 Here’s the question: Once the six-month window for the menaje de casa expires, how does one move one’s furniture and other personal items to Mexico? Can the menaje de casa window be extended? Alternatively, is it possible to hire movers to move one’s things to Mexico and pay custom duties on one’s used furniture, etc.? Any insight and resources you might provide would be deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance!
If you are moving your things on your own without a moving company don't worry about the Menaje de Casa. If you are moving with an international mover, then we have a recommendation that can work outside the 6 month window.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Thank you! (It would be through an international mover.) How do I obtain your recommendation? (I assume there might be a fee. 🙂)
I understand solvency requirements at the Vancouver consulate increased roughly 15% per year over the past few years. I am ready to move 5 years from now but worry the solvency amount will be close to 200K$
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Yeah that's what I was thinking. Take a couple weeks off work , use a facilitator out of Puerto Vallarta. The INM office down there seems to issue temp residency same day, couple days at worst
@@toddmurray6596it’s no longer same day at INM in Puerto Vallarta. Approval now occurs in Guadalajara and then you have to return to INM about days later. Plan on longer than one day. No guarantee about the card being there on second visit either. I just had my visa extended to 4 years.
@@toddmurray6596Hola TODD, just returned two weeks ago from Bucerias. Got my 3 year residence card renewed the same day at the INM NAYARIT office. Use a facilitator, that had me first in line, had card in hand by 10:30.🎉🥳
Great video! Thanks! With the temporary residency visa, are you allowed to bring immediate family members along? And if so, does that increase the monthly income requirements?
Hi there, a lot of consulates require original and stamped on the copies on every page of bank statements. Often originals or not generated anymore. The consulate in Atlanta requires it
Would you talk about the new president elect Claudia? What could be some of her major changes in following 6 years term? and how do you see the current exchange rate fluctuations?
From Consulate in Toronto: ...'income/pension for the past 6 months is over $9,900 CAD after tax". It keeps steadily creeping up, I've been watching. Note: site indicates updated January 2024.
PLEASE keep in mind that the economic solvency requirements vary depending on whether you are applying for temporary or permanent residency. The requirements you mentioned are for permanent residency and are higher than temporary residency. Many people can apply for temporary residency and it has basically the same benefits as a permanent residency, except you have to renew after the first year.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide- I’m driving in in January, I’m flying home for a week then flying back. I’m trying to figure out the logistics of the flight back into the states.
Marianna, thanks for the info. How does this work for married people and children? My wife and I plus our 4 kids would like to apply for residency, would it be the min wage for all 6?
at some consulates yes it’s required that each applicant have the minimum requirements. But don’t worry if you don’t qualify that way. As long as you the quality you can petition all of your family members in Mexico without providing economic solvency. Mexico is very pro family
Marianna, when applying for temporary residency and proving economic solvency, does it matter where the income is coming from?? In other words can I satisfy the requirement utilizing my current income from my US based employer?
Marianna, your videos are excellent! It was not clear that for Temporary residency thru economic solvency you can still be working and not retired while for permanent residency the requirement is high but you should be above 60 and also retired. Can you clarify? Who are the facilitators? Attorneys from Mexico but will help booking the appointments and paperwork in USA? Does Charlotte NC has a Mexican consulate or need to apply in Raleigh?
Hello Marianna, Thank you for the video; it was very informative. And your Article is the most details out there. However, I still have two questions. Does the consulate require proof of remote income, or is there a consulate that does not ask for it? I meet the monthly income and savings requirements for Temporary Residency, but I am unable to provide proof of remote work, and I am only 22 years old. It seems unusual for someone my age to move to Mexico without a remote job or to retire. But I am concerned that my salary may not keep up with Mexico's minimum wage and the exchange rate of the peso. Therefore, I want to apply for Temporary Residency as a backup plan in advance. Which, I cannot tell the officer that I want a backup plan, or maybe let me rephrase, I might work remotely in the future or planning for the retirement in advance. So, back to my question, does the consulate require proof of remote income, or is there a consulate that does not ask for it? Especially the 4 city that you mention in your article: McAllen, New Orleans, Raleigh, San Francisco, that I hope they would still be the four that require the least for Finical Requirements, which hopefully I can still fulfill them next year. Thank you so much
Question about the temporary visa--can the income requirement be the combined income of a married copy or does one have to have the income individually. We have enough together, but not separately. Thank you.
We can help guide you and also connect you with our directory of vetted immigration facilitators who can provide in person assistance. It's what you get when you buy the complete Mexico Relocation Guide mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
Your videos are so informative, Marianna! Thank you. 😀 In regards to the "Special Program," having visited Mexico before 2022. How far back can this be? I was last in Mexico in 2012.....would that qualify?
It depends on which INM office you want to apply in. Some of them only accept entries as far back as 2015. Some INM offices allow earlier entries. Like Aguascalientes which allows entries before 2015.

I am short the income requirement but have the savings amount. I also own a car & casa in Mexico and the casas are now selling for $350,000 US. I am applying for temporary residency from Canada. I am retired so living expenses are minimal. Do you have to have both the income and savings or is it income OR savings? Thanks.
it’s either or, so apply soon 😀 if you need help with the process, we can guide you and connect you to the right immigration facilitators mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
@@MexicoRelocationGuideThanks Mariana..received my 4 year Temporary Residency just YESTERDAY..in 38minutes! ❤❤ now to get my facilitator from the guide and finish second half 🎉🎉
Ok, but if you're married to a mexican national and you don't have to prove economic solvency, do THEY need to provide financial solvency in the form of proving they can financially support their spouse who would be a temp resident and therefor unable to work? I am moving to a tiny pueblo in rural Jalisco and she owns her own house so we barely need to pay for anything but food and utilities. She doesn't work and I won't be able to for 2 years.
If I can qualify for temporary residency using savings at any of the Mexican consulates in the states, is it still to my advantage to travel to one of the consulates with the lowest requirements? Would that help when we apply for my wife's Temp Res after moving to Mexico?
Marianna, when proving economic solvency for the Temporary Resident Visa, are they just looking at the amount of money, or does it matter the source of the money? In other words, can I satisfy the requirement utilizing my current income from my US employer?? Thanks!
The online guide is an online course you can follow at your own pace. However in the guide we do give you our list of immigration facilitators in Mexico that can help secure an appointment for you and help prepare you with the right documents.
Great informative video! I wanted to ask if rental income of more than $11,000 Canadian per month could help in permanent residence? If not do we require to invest in a CD/FD in Mexican bank? If so how much $ and for how many years?
What about if you are divorced from a Mexican citizen? My mexican husband got all of his papers for USA then divorced me before I was able to get my mexican residency. Can I still get a residency visa without having to prove economic solvency?
I already have my temporary residence for the past 3 years, when i apply for permanent in a few months, i will need to proof of income or i am except because i had the residence before all of this?
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
If you’d like help, we give you a step by step process in our complete Mexico Relocation Guide. It takes the guesswork out of moving to Mexico- mexicorelocationguide.com/guide/
if you are retired you can apply for either temporary or permanent residency - depending on which one you qualify for. As a retiree, you’d need to prove financial solvency either through social security, pensions, investments, savings
I emailed the consulate closest to me but they are saying they only handle certain counties. From different videos, it sounded like you could go to any consulate … is that true?
No- unfortunately not all consulates allow out of state applicants. Only some do. We recommend Las Vegas, Raleigh, Phoenix, Boise, DC, New Jersey, and Chicago for these reasons
Most consulates will only grant a permanent residency visa if you are over 60 and receiving social security and are actually retired. Most people don't qualify for permanent residency with social security alone. So if you have enough savings you can certainly try. The worst that can happen is you receive temporary residency. Which has the same benefits as a permanent residency except you have to renew it. After 4 years you can apply to become a permanent resident :)
Hi Marianna, I am a Canadian watching from Monterrey, N.L. I have a question about the Regularization program (without proving economic solvency). I have a documented visit to Mexico in August 2021, and am currently staying in Mexico until the end of my 180 day stay in October. I do not have an FMM, as they are no longer giving paper FMMs at the Monterrey airport. Instead, the airport staff stamped my passport and wrote the final day of my 180 day stay in my passport. Would the fact that I do not have an FMM affect my ability to apply for the Regularization program after my 180 day stay? Does it suffice that I have the end date of my 180 day written into my passport? Your insight on this would be much appreciated, thanks.
Hola! we’re happy to help you determine if you qualify for residency in Mexico. Check out our free Mexican Residency Guide- mexicorelocationguide.com/mexico-resident-visa/
Question.....I have my passport and 12 months of investment statements. Would I also need my birth certificate and marriage certificate? I am divorced but kept my married name. My passport is in my married name. 😊 Thank you!
They only asked for the passport for me. No requirement to provide marriage certificate unless you are applying as a secondary person on another family member application.
Hello Mariana, I inquired about permanent residency for my husband and I at the Raleigh, NC consulate and received an email response that stated "Permanent visas are reserved for retired people with a minimum age of 65 years" My husband nor I are 65 years of age so we can only apply for a temporary visa?
I had same response in Vancouver, Canada. That’s why I got temporary residency. Every consulate is different. They denied a wealthy person from Hong Kong permanent residency as he was too young at 45. He said he was semi-retired but they didn’t care.
Can I visit as a tourist while my residency is pending? I have plans to visit in Feb 2025 but want to start residency application this fall Oct 2024. should I wait to apply after my trip in Feb?

I already have my temporary residence for the past 3 years, when i apply for permanent in a few months, i will need to proof of income or i am except because i had the residence before all of this?
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
what if you are the child of a parent that has permanent residency can you apply through that avenue?
Only if you can prove you are their dependent- meaning you are a student and they pay for your college or that you fully depend on them.
So sad i came in 2022 stayed 5 months to work a seasonal job
Where do I go to schedule an appointment in the U.S. All the sites I go to are in Spanish and I see no where to sign up for an account.

@@MexicoRelocationGuide Do you help with Central or South America. I am starting to look there now.
Only Mexico for now
I wonder if the RNE program will one day include being in Mexico during 2023?
maybe in the future- we’ll keep you posted if you sign up for our newsletter- mexicorelocationguide.com/newsletter/
My maternal grandfather was born and raised in Mexico. But later became U.S. citizen. Can I apply for Mexican residency that way?
Did I miss the retirement requirements ?
if you are retired you can apply for either temporary or permanent residency - depending on which one you qualify for. As a retiree, you’d need to prove financial solvency either through social security, pensions, investments, savings
@MexicoRelocationGuide awhile, thank you! I didn't hear that part. Appreciate all of the information!
I emailed the consulate closest to me but they are saying they only handle certain counties. From different videos, it sounded like you could go to any consulate … is that true?
No- unfortunately not all consulates allow out of state applicants. Only some do. We recommend Las Vegas, Raleigh, Phoenix, Boise, DC, New Jersey, and Chicago for these reasons

Welcome! I hope it’s helpful.
Are there any East Coast Consulates that will grant a permanant visa if you are 61 years old.
Most consulates will only grant a permanent residency visa if you are over 60 and receiving social security and are actually retired. Most people don't qualify for permanent residency with social security alone. So if you have enough savings you can certainly try. The worst that can happen is you receive temporary residency. Which has the same benefits as a permanent residency except you have to renew it. After 4 years you can apply to become a permanent resident :)
Hi Marianna, I am a Canadian watching from Monterrey, N.L. I have a question about the Regularization program (without proving economic solvency). I have a documented visit to Mexico in August 2021, and am currently staying in Mexico until the end of my 180 day stay in October. I do not have an FMM, as they are no longer giving paper FMMs at the Monterrey airport. Instead, the airport staff stamped my passport and wrote the final day of my 180 day stay in my passport. Would the fact that I do not have an FMM affect my ability to apply for the Regularization program after my 180 day stay? Does it suffice that I have the end date of my 180 day written into my passport? Your insight on this would be much appreciated, thanks.
You have an FMM but it’s digital- so you would qualify for this program! 😀
Are the numbers gross or net for economic solvency?
net 😀
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Well, that certainly makes it tougher. Thanks!
Does mexico still offerca retirement visa or residency ? Also i want to become a citizen of mexico. How would i start that process?

Question.....I have my passport and 12 months of investment statements. Would I also need my birth certificate and marriage certificate? I am divorced but kept my married name. My passport is in my married name. 😊
Thank you!
They only asked for the passport for me. No requirement to provide marriage certificate unless you are applying as a secondary person on another family member application.
Can you help me with working visa sponsorship 🙏

Hi! Quick question, I entered Mexico twice (passport stamped) would I be eligible for RNE?

Hello Mariana, I inquired about permanent residency for my husband and I at the Raleigh, NC consulate and received an email response that stated "Permanent visas are reserved for retired people with a minimum age of 65 years" My husband nor I are 65 years of age so we can only apply for a temporary visa?
I had same response in Vancouver, Canada. That’s why I got temporary residency. Every consulate is different. They denied a wealthy person from Hong Kong permanent residency as he was too young at 45. He said he was semi-retired but they didn’t care.
Yes that’s correct. It’s not an issue though- as a temporary resident you have all the same benefits.

Can I visit as a tourist while my residency is pending? I have plans to visit in Feb 2025 but want to start residency application this fall Oct 2024. should I wait to apply after my trip in Feb?
No- the next time you visit Mexico you would have to also do your canje. You would have to wait until next year
