How is life in Riviera Maya, how much is paid for rent, possibilities to work. Many questions are those that have come to me from several people with the idea of coming to live in this part of the world.
Since I started writing the blog and because of my condition foreign resident, many people have written to me with the idea of coming to look for life in Mexico, seeking to resolve doubts ... I think I have responded to everyone, with more or less information about how little one knows, even with some I have been able to meet to meet The best thing about this virtual world is how it enriches the staff. I understand that my experience can be valuable for those who arrive, and on more than one occasion I have considered writing posts with this type of help.
I have been a long time member of a web of expat where all this type of information moves, being a reference as expatriate help tool: formalities before getting visas, looking for work, studying in Mexico, rental prices, medical insurance, taxes and fees, forums with topics of interest ... several active members of this website help with the answers when necessary. Honestly I think it is a good tool for those who seek this type of information.
At the web of Expat.com is a blog section where is mine. Some know me by that channel and I have been able to help with information of the place to which they arrive with logical doubts in the head. Starting to live in another country is not easy, I would even say that it is not for everyone. Having support away from the family is something that I have seen as essential with the people who move me and who are in the same situation as live as a foreigner in another country.
These social networks and tools They facilitate the arrival and meeting other people, a basic part of the foreigner. In the Expat website you can propose and organize outings or meetings with other members. You also have the ability to chat in groups and create question threads in the forum. They also touch on the subject of job opportunities, it is a very complete website. Today it is made up of more than 12000 members. It will surely be very useful to many of you.
Another very useful and useful expatriate website, about advice and help, is administered by Fatima, a Sevillian who lives in CDMX. Sure your website helps you with those basic questions that you have when you arrive, it is a very complete web that solves many questions.
I leave the link to mexperiencia.com, also the link of what I wrote about the world of expatriates, in case it can help you
Integrating into local living is a healthy way to live your experience abroad. I wish you the best of luck on your way.

How pitiful it is to have to move because of ugly situations in our countries of origin, I'm sorry.
I really do not know how to explain well what steps to follow, but surely in this web http://www.expat.com/es/ They can give you more directions. Try to contact friends in your country who have taken that step as well.

Hello! My name is Sabrina and I am Argentine.
For a long time I want to live the experience of knowing, working and studying in another country for a season. I think Mexico is a good place where I will find what I need.
What things should I keep in mind when traveling? For example, papers or permits to work, rents, etc.
Thank you!
Hi Sabrina,
I invite you to go to the expatriate page of this same post and can communicate in the forums with others in your situation and looking for the same concerns. There they have more information than I can have with my experience. If you are looking to stay with work, surely in the forums of Expat they place you better. There is a lot of Argentinian in Quintana Roo, many arrive with the tourist visa, and here they look for life, but I do not know the steps.
I wish you the best of luck in your project.
Best regards,

Hello, my name is Fernando, and I want to go live in the area of Cancun, Playa or Tulum. I am a muscle training teacher and personal trainer, I wanted to know if it is possible to work from that.
Thank you ….
Hi Fernando, this website is not an expert in this type of issues, that is why we refer to the expat website, where there are forums and more information. Depending on whether you are a foreigner or a national, something essential for a work permit, you will have one situation or another.
On a personal level, I can tell you that your profession has an outlet in this area, a lot.
Best of luck,
Good evening, I'm from Argentina and I want to move to Isla Mujeres. I need to contact Argentines who live in that place so that they can guide me, above all, through schools for my daughter, rents, residence permits, etc. From already thank you very much

Best regards and good luck in your adventure.
Good morning Sandra.
I am about to retire and I am considering going to live in Mexico, specifically in Merida.
Could you indicate a page to inform me if I become a resident I can get my pension in Merida and pay taxes there.
What salary would two people live well there?
It says on many occasions to enter expat.com, I have been registered on this page for a long time and it does not work well since no one answers you, that is why I have dared to write to you, I hope I do not bother you.
Thanks in advance for your kindness.
Attentively
Bernardino
Hello Bernardino, not a nuisance at all, if we can support something we do it 🙂
I did not know that expat was not giving good service, I pass you another website that can help you in technical matters https://mexperiencia.com/
Merida, which is an excellent choice to live, many Canadians and Americans come to spend the winter months. The foreigner can enter as a tourist and stay 6 months (depending on nationality), but having the tax as a resident here is something else. As far as I know, it is not so easy to have a residence in Mexico as a foreigner. One comes a few months, but they have their taxation in the country of origin. All cases of foreigners who come without an employment contract, this is how they work. There are several Spanish friends and other nationalities who work on the Caribbean coast, who leave and enter Mexico through Belize or Guatemala to extend their stay as tourists.
In our case we arrived with work and over time they gave us permanent residence.
My email is sandra@elcaminomascorto.es in case I can support you. I have asked friends in Mérida how much the rent is to give you an estimate of what it means to live there. As soon as I have more information, I'll send it to you.
Kind regards Bernardino.
Good morning Sandra.
I have sent you an email, I do not know if you have received it, anyway thanks for your quick reply.
I would like to ask you how you carry the confinement over there, to know if it is as rough as here in Spain or if it is a little less strict.
Waiting for your answer, he says goodbye carefully.
Bernardino
Hello Bernardino, yes I received it.
An apology that I did not tell you, is that I lack the information to answer you. As soon as I have it I write you mail.
Greetings?♀️
Good morning, I'm Raquel, I would like to live in Tulum, buy a house there, I already have it, but I don't know what to do, what papers I would have to move or where to go here in Spain to do it, and above all I want good health insurance there in Tulum, what does it cost? Thank you very much in advance for your response.
Hi Raquel, how are you, I'm Sandra. I recommend specialized expat pages where they have specific information about what you are looking for https://www.expat.com/es/red/espanol/en/822-mexico/
Likewise, approach the ministry of Spain for the issue of papers you need. We are not specialists in these matters. Regarding medical insurance, the payment changes a lot according to age and medical history, we are with GNP as a private one. The prices of private insurance are similar to Spain.
Another option: as a Spanish tourist you can spend a maximum of 6 months in Mexico, after this time you must leave the country for a minimum of 72 hours. With international health insurance you can trick the immigration bureaucracy in the event that you do not come to look for work.
Hopefully it will serve as a starting point.
You tell me anything that you think Raquel can help you,
Is it safe to live in Tulum, Raquel?
Occasionally there have been problems in Tulum. People with business suffer more from these incidents. Yes, it is true that for a few years we could brag about the security in Tulum, it is no longer the case.
