mexicoblue Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I have a friend who is interested in moving to Mexico. She has $1100 from social security and $1,000 from a house she rents. Does anyone know whether this is enough and what she has to show to prove the income? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intercasa Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 She should be fine and can get a temp visa easily. May be able to qualify for a permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowyco Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I have a friend who is interested in moving to Mexico. She has $1100 from social security and $1,000 from a house she rents. Does anyone know whether this is enough and what she has to show to prove the income? Thank you. She can follow the instructions and meet the requirements listed at Rollybrook or at Financial Independence (Savings or Income) Requirements for Temporary Residency / Residente Temporal Applicants or Residente Permanente requirements at http://yucalandia.com/answers-to-common-questions/new-rules-and-procedures-for-immigration-visiting-and-staying-in-mexico/#Proof%20of%20Financial%20Independence%20for%20Permanent%20Residency%20Applicants Basically, you supply months of bank statements, pension statements, and/or retirement account statements to prove you meet the INM's monthly income or average balance requirements. Spencer just reported the Mexican Govt. SRE's, new $ amounts for the personal fiscal solvency requirements last month for Consulates accepting Residente Temporal and Permanente applications at: HUGE Changes today to Mexican immigration law Spencer's services includes handling RT and RP applications, so PM him for details. The INM's old current published requirements are higher than the new SRE published Consulate requirements, so it seems that the newer lower limits are the correct ones.

Sonia Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Laredo MX consulate opens at 8 am and the door is closed at 1 pm. Many MX consulates take into consideration owning a home in Mexico. From the several I know who have made a trip to Laredo the staff do not sit with a calculator adding up every bit of income, investments, home value in Mexico. They listen to you and determine, can you support yourself and are you truly interested in making Mexico your home. Friends who went on Nov 8, 2014 are two ladies who were asked if they were married, which they are and they said have been here 5 years, own a home and are nationalizing their car and that was all that was important. It was not a matter of adding up income for each or analyzing home value. This couple FYI forgot to renew their Temporary Resident visa and were beyond the 55 days, Therefor they had to go to a consulate and start over. Their lost visas were Temporary Residents. They got off the over night bus from Laredo Friday Nov 7 and by 10:30 am we made bank payment and submitted their applications to INM in SMA. Next Tuesday Nov 18 they will be finger printed and two weeks from now will be Permanent Residents and not Temporary Residents as they were before all thanks to the MX consulate staff in Laredo. If a person is not from the US technically you are to return to a MX consulate in a country in which you legally reside. For those from Europe and South America and even Canada that is some distance and costly. So far in Laredo they are processing the pre-approval from applicants outside of the US. My point in noting all this is that immigration issues can be stressful. There are Mexicans trying very hard to reduce that stress and make life easier. Mexico has many issues but it is actually one of the easiest countries in the world to live as a foreigner full time and legally. Sonia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
