If you follow the show, you’ll know that we love spending time in Mexico, so much so that during the early parts of 2021 we decided to apply for temporary resident visas.

This time on the podcast we’re walking through why, what the process is like, and who it might be a good fit for.

If you’ve thought about getting residency outside of your home country, Mexico could be a good option for you and in this episode, you’ll find out everything about how it all works.

Of course, it’s worth remembering that we’re not immigration experts and we are just sharing our experience, so if you’re looking into applying for residency make sure to do your own research and contact an immigration lawyer if needed.

In this episode:

  • What are the types of residency visas in Mexico?
  • Why we started thinking about getting temporary resident visas
  • What are the requirements?
  • Walking through our experience applying and having our appointment at a Mexican Consulate in the US
  • How does it work when you enter Mexico and how do you get the residency card once you’re in Mexico
  • How does the Temporary Resident Visa lead to permanent residency?
  • What are the reasons we felt persuaded to get temporary resident visas?
  • How much time and money did it all cost?
  • Tips learned from the process
