I’m about to apply, and this is exactly what I needed to read. I want to apply for a temporary residence based on the economic requirements: savings and investments. I know that I have to show a monthly average equivalent to five thousand days of minimum wage valid in Mexico City (aprox. $33,000 USdls. now) during the last twelve months. What exactly does it mean? Would you know? Do I have to show a min of $33,000 for every month of the last 12 months? Or is it just average of the last 12 months? For example, I had $20,000 saved in January of 2020, but in February I had $40,000, and later on more and more. Do they want to see exactly a min of $33,000 every month for the past 12 months? I hope that it makes sense. I’m an ESOL speaker. Thank you for your blog! If anything, I’ll just email the consulate to confirm. Happy New Year! Natalia

Did you & Ben first travel to Mexico on a Tourist Visa then & apply for the Temporary Resident during those first six months?
Thanks, Cal

It was very informative ! I have one question though , Do we need to show some financial statement or bank balance for getting temporary residency ?!

Question about the bank account statements. If i am a US Citizen applying for Mx Temp Residency, do my Wells Fargo statements have to be notarized in the US? Also, can I make my own copies by downloading my Wells Fargo account statements myself, or do they have to come from Wells Fargo in the US? I live in Costa Rica , applying here with Mx Embassy and am confused as to what the US Embassy can notarize for me here? Do I need anything apostilled in the US? Mx Embassy has given me conflicting info…..TY !! I may see you in Merida!

The process they are making it very hard. On the question, purpose of the trip to Mexico, what do you recommend writing?

Could you explain the process about the money and how much needs to be in bank account each month and total for the year. Sorry that bit confused me

Thanks
Barry

Thanks for walking us through the process in both our home country and Mexico. I am planning/hoping to obtain a Temporary Visa to Mexico so I can apply for an RFC (Mexican tax ID) and declare rental income on an apartment I own in Mexico. So I own property and thankfully also have enough money in the bank to qualify. But I live in the US and plan to maintain my US residence (continuing to live in the US) for the foreseeable future. This raises two questions:
(1) Can I be a “resident” of more than one country at a time?
(2) Does the Visa de Residencia Temporal require some minimum number of days/percentage of the year we actually have to physically reside in Mexico? I can’t find the answer anywhere.
Thanks in advance to you and/or your readers for some light on this subject, and thank you for your fantastic blog!

Your information on moving to Merida was so helpful. Made my transition very easy.
One bit of info I wanted to expand on is there is a tienda called Fl@sh in the Plaza Reforma 1 block away from INM.
You can get your visa pictures there for 120 pesos.
But she also does all the paperwork for your visa for 200 pesos…not USD.
Although I speak Spanish and was able to do it on my own, I had a long conversation with her about this when I went to get my photos and some copies done.

Hi Maria, that’s awesome. I visited Izamal but only for a day – I’d love to come back and explore more. Enjoy your move! I Hope you love it!

My husband and I bought property (through a trust) and are building a home in Izamal, just 45 minutes outside of Merida. We are so excited to spend time there and plant some roots in our mid-40s to get ready for retirement. I’m so happy I came across your blogs and will reference it often!

WOW you have it good girl! Brexit did change things – when Ben and I were deciding on Mexico, we also considered Greece and Portugal but then worried what if his being English didn’t matter after Brexit and we couldn’t stay (assuming I could even stay as his “partner” to begin with). It was quite limiting! Amazing about Germany taking care of you so well, awesome. I can pay into govt health insurance here but everyone says “it’s terrible you’ll die don’t do it” and I”m like “i used India govt health for 5 years, I think I’ll be okay!” lol

When I moved to Berlin (Germany), I didn’t know how long I was going to be there, but I knew that Germany is a stickler for paperwork and accuracy, so I officially emigrated and received permanent residency exactly 5 years later. I didn’t even have to do a thing, they just sent it to me in the post!

Now obviously, as an EU citizen you don’t really need to apply for anything, you can just move countries and stay for as long as you want! However, look where we are today – Brexit!

So when I applied for dual citizenship, it was a total breeze as they already knew who I was, what contributions I made – both financially and socially (Hello Blog!), entitlement to a pension and great health insurance since forever, and everything else, and it just made everything so much easier.
A very smart post indeed!

I mean, going in and out every 6 months is A-OK but you lose all those benefits. Plus if you stay long term, just do it right, I say. I recall expats in Costa Rica leaving and returning every 3 months for like 10 years. Why? Many of course avoid certain tax situations but I’d just do it right and get the long term visa. Smart post here.
