Merida Mexico July 18th - 30th

Featured Replies

I am going there in July(not the best time, hot, humid and frequent afternoon showers!)but I getting my permanent residency Visa! If you are 60 or older, and meet Mecico's financial requirements for monthly income and savings you can skip the 4 year TEMPORARY VISA And go right to permanent status. As a side benefit my Brazilian boyfriend is joining me there!

I assume that Congratulations are in order @Tomcal

Just two small questions: does this mean you will spend much more time there in future? And will you have to file and pay Mexican taxes on income and gains etc?

Thanks Msclelovr ! I plan on spending 2 weeks every other month there( more or less), I don't have to pay taxes on my income that is earned outside of Mexico, which is All of it. The only taxes I pay each year are my property taxes which are extremely low in Mexico.

I am not getting citizenship, just permanent residency, that allows me to open checking/savings bank accounts, go thru the Mexican citizen line at customs in the airport, apply for their hospitalization plan If wanted, etc., And most importantly I can stay in Mexico 1 day or 1 year or longer with no limit on my stay(s).

It is easy to get fake docs in Mexico and I have quite a few friends in the local Gov't there now! LOL!

LOL for anyone who has followed your well-documented sexcapades on this site over the years you would certainly appear to give a whole new meaning to the word 'boyfriend.'

I'll believe that when I see it.

Plus you  don't have to pay the 23-26 usd tourism tax on every ticket.

I sense that @floridarob may be a modern version of Edith Wharton with a clear-eyed vision of @Tomcal‘s progress through Mexican society

FloridaRob I met in Rio in 2002, and against all odds became my best friend, and is the one who talked me into checking out Merida!  I went to visit him, and literally met a guy 10 minutes after arriving while we were walking to  bar owned by a friend ours there.  He does know me best...but has a propensity to exaggerate! A lot!  LOL

Congrats for you are in order.

I recently looked into planning on doing this in Brazil, as it had a retirement / pension visa. The monthly income requirements or any kind of annuity or pension were (for me) very low — only $6000R a month! — and the minimum age requirement had been lowered from 60 to 50. And like the one in Mexico, it had perks that you can’t get from a tourist visa — ability to work legally, federal healthcare, permanent residency, come and go as you please and stay as long as you wish, banking options, etc. So, I was planning to do it in a year or so. However, I learned from the Brazilian Consulate that as of Jan. 1, 2018, the Brazilian legislature inexplicably suspended the pension visa.

Many of the Instagram hunks in my feed this week are using some neck-up aging app to look like baby boomers.

Empathy with solidarity, or a send-up? It seems to be done with humourous intent. 

Maybe something like that would help sneak in the back door.
