  1. Well like SS in the USA your pension depends on your earnings while working.
  2. You are correct. The only part of the system a non Mexican can access is the health insurance. To join you must have a residency card, be under 70 years of age, pay the annual fee for your age group, and pass a physical exam. Some preexisting conditions are not covered and these include malignant tumors, congenital diseases, chronic degenerative diseases, addictions, mental illness, and HIV—among others. If you have any preexisting excluded conditions, you cannot enroll into the IMSS insurance program. Other specific preexisting conditions are covered on ‘deferment’ and these don’t preclude you for joining the program, but are subject to specific waiting periods before you can seek healthcare services within the IMSS system related to them. Fees fo 2020 enacted in March for 60-69 years of age $12,250. Your current passport(s) Your current residency permit(s) Proof of address, e.g. your latest electricity bill Marriage certificate (if applicable) Application form and health questionnaire provided by IMSS Two photographs, same format and rules as those for your residency permit Bank payment receipt for the first-year’s premium (made on the day you visit the local IMSS office) After you’re enrolled, you’ll be assigned to a local clinic, where you will go to see your doctor, go for regular check-ups, and obtain prescriptions for any medications you may need. If you need the services of a specialist, referrals are made to IMSS medical specialists only via your assigned doctor. Exclusions when joining: Six months: Benign breast lump. Ten months: Birth. One year: Lithotripsy Surgery for gynecological conditions, except malignant neoplasms of the uterus, ovaries and perineal floor. Surgery for venous insufficiency and varicose veins. Sinus and nose surgery. Varicocele surgery. Hemorrhoidectomy and rectal fistula surgery and rectal prolapse. Tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy. Hernia surgery, except intervetabral disc herniation. Hallux valgus surgery. Strabismus surgery. Two years: Orthopedic surgery.
  3. IMSS is not only a medical system. It is the closest thing to Social Security in the USA. Millions of Mexicans receive a pension from IMSS. My brother in law receives just under $50,000MX per month. He pays nothing for medical coverage for himself and his wife.
  4. Can you name the banks that don't exchange dollars for pesos lakeside?
  5. Many places have better rates than Actinver depending on the amount. If you are changing thousands of dollars you should rate shop for the amount you are converting.
  6. Only if the value of your foreign accounts exceeds $10,000 at anytime during the calendar year.
  7. Actually Mexicans are North Americans. As to foreigners; I have not seen any official website that shows nationality, or race. Only sex, age, comorbidities, and number hospitalized is shown. So any information you see about foreigners is unverifiable.
  8. It will depend on what you want the bank account for. Here we have small "investment" banks, Mexican and international full service banks.
  9. Earlier in the thread I suggested... You could walk across at bridge number 1 in Laredo, but the question is are you allowed to cross on foot with cats? At this time the wait to cross by foot seems to be about 1 hour wait. Did you check with customs & border protection in Laredo as to the ability to walk into the USA on bridge 1 with your pets? (956) 523-7300 Did you check with the bus companies that cross into Laredo? You could also call a Laredo Taxi company and ask if they do pickups in Nuevo Laredo.
  10. The brands in my original post are sold in Mexico. That is why The Mexican Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (Cofepris) warned against their use. Later in the thread a link to AARP listing products made by Blumen with English names. I think that any Blumen products sold in Mexico would have different names.
  11. The Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (Cofepris) warned against the use of nine hand sanitizer brands that contain methanol, a dangerous substance that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested. Through a statement, Cofepris announced authorities tested “different brands of hand sanitizer to identify the presence of methanol, which represents a health risk for the population. So far, Cofepris has found that several hand sanitizer brands contain methanol in their formula.” The nine brands to avoid are: 1. Natcly 2. Tradicional Casa Solar 3. Omega Nalle Clean 4. Nanoölflon 5. Clean 10 6. Naturals Ultra 7. Gel Heal 8. Alcohol Gel Farmacias Nevy 9. Protec Hands
  12. It has been that way for quite some time. You will begin to see more of this at other ATM's. It is a profit center for the bank. At BBVA the ATM charge for non clients with a Mexican debit card is lower than the ATM fee for a foreign debit card.
  13. When you call the 800 number have you tried using the menu to report problem with Infinitum and not phone service? Once you get a tech and you are done reporting the infinitum problem then report the phone line as well.
  14. Have you checked Dr George Podologo (podiatrist) on the carretera in Ajijic? 376 766 0481
  15. 800 123-2222 or online using your mitelmex account. Nearest office is in GDL
  16. Americas branch of the Salud Digna private laboratory was charging $1300 with 24 hour results. Appointment is needed... Av. de las Américas 166, Ladrón de Guevara, Ladron De Guevara, 44600 Guadalajara, Jal. ( near Av Mexico) 33 36 15 31 68
  17. So they won't accept a throw away or pre-pay cell which receives the texts over towers? And how will they know if the phone is registered in your name? Does your bank have access to the phone registry of dozens of cell phone companies across the USA? How would they know when they text to a phone number (they use the internet to do that) if the ultimate text is delivered by a cell tower? Some of the major cell companies actually switch your phone to internet reception when you are in range of one of their wifi connections.
  18. Did it at Telcel Laguna about 5 years ago when my phone was stolen at Black Coffee... no problem.
  19. So you are suggesting that all the companies in phase three trials are lying? And they don't employ scientists? And If I believe their reports filed with the CDC, among others I am listening to the wrong people? That's some conspiracy theory..... And at least 2 companies have pledged to sell the vaccine at cost... The others prices are as low as $10 per dose. (Johnson & Johnson) NBC Sept 5 reports: U.S. health officials expect to know whether at least one of the three potential vaccines from Moderna, Pfizer and AstraZeneca in late-stage testing works by the end of the year or sooner. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said Thursday the company could have results from its late-stage coronavirus vaccine trial as early as October. ( is he lying to help his bottom line?) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is currently asking states to expedite the approval process for medical supply company McKesson so it can set up coronavirus vaccination sites across the U.S. by Nov. 1. The agency said states may need to waive some licensing and permit requirements that could bog down the process. The vaccine would be distributed in four phases, with health-care workers, the elderly and people with underlying health conditions getting vaccinated first. Essential workers, teachers and people in homeless shelters as well as people in prisons would be next on the list, followed by children and young adults.
  20. If it is a Telcel pre-pay number and it has not been recharged for a long time (over 6 months) the number will be recycled.
