Where, specifically, in Mexico might be the spot for you to think about living, retiring, or investing South of the Border? Let’s Consider Your Best Options Closely… #1: Playa del Carmen Alamy/PJPHOTO Mexico is 7 times the size of Ecuador and 38 times larger than Costa Rica… with almost 5,800 miles of coastline… 12 major mountain ranges with peaks as high as 18,500 feet (5,600 meters)… and hundreds of authentic Spanish-colonial cities. ![]() In both cases, I was able to cover the entire country in a couple of weeks… at least the parts that expats would be interested in.

If you’ve dreamed of a Spanish-colonial home with a center courtyard, you’ll find more options in Mexico than anywhere on the planet. Originally “New Spain,” in colonial times, Mexico boasts more colonial cities and towns (and architecture) than any country in the Americas. Mexico is also the king of colonial Spanish America. You’ve got a dozen dramatic mountain ranges, with tall peaks, green valleys, and pristine lakes. You can live in a small, fishing-village environment… or on a remote section of pristine beach… or in a modern, upscale resort.

I simply got on the highway, quickly crossed the border at Nogales, and stayed on that same road until we got to our new oceanfront home in Mazatlán’s historic center (more on that in a minute). ![]() Instead of hassling through an airport and TSA, figuring out visas, and hiring a service to transport the animals… I used a credit card to get my online vehicle permit and insurance… I loaded up the truck with the dog, the cat, and a load of household items. My Move To MexicoĪs for myself, my move here was a breeze… In fact, I could have qualified without having a pension or proving income… Mexico is one of the only countries in the world where you can qualify for residency by showing only a bank balance or IRA.Īnd residency even comes with an import tax waiver on anything you want to bring from home. What’s more, the consulate offered same-day visa service for my residency, so I had to deal with none of usual bureaucracy… all I needed was my pension deposit slips.
