Question

i am pretty young but on disabilty for a heart condition.can you live well in Mexico with $700 a month?if so what part?and i lwould like to live on or near the beach.thanks for the help

Answer 1

Lombok Island

The island of Lombok is located east of Bali. Tourism is not quite as developed yet as Bali and it is that reason which makes Lombok the perfect getaway. Escape to picturesque mountainside landscapes to white sand beaches of the Gili Islands. A place to relax and unwind from the daily life

Answer 2

Depends on your definition of WELL. There are plenty of small beach communities where you could live for that amount.You need a minimum of $1200 a month for a FM3 visa.(to reside in Mexico) Without the FM3 you would only be able to stay a maximum of 180 days on any visit.You would have to leave the country every 6 months for at least a day  and then re-enter with a new 180 day visa.You would not be allowed to work in Mexico.

Answer 3

Of course you can! Side apart from the FM3 info they have given you, US$700.00 a month are more than enough to live on a small beach town from any state on the pacific side of Mexico, I recommend you Baja California, Jalisco or Oaxaca, you can rent a fairly nice place for like US300 a month and the rest is plenty to live very well. Due to your condition, I would think on Baja California, in case you need to travel back for either medical attention or legal stuff (like the FM3) you will be close to home.

Answer 4

No --you may come and go and renew a tourist visa indefinitely.

$700.00 Will not cut with Mexican policies.

You will need to prove a monthly income of at least $1200.00 a month to qualify for an F.M3.

With the amount you are getting you may want to consider staying and leaving for a day and re-entering every 6 months

If you do that then you can rent for as low as $100.00 a month.

Cooking at home-$200.00 a month

buses $25.00 a month.

Beer at a cheap bar $1.00

Tequila $10.00 a liter

Personal effects 20%cheaper

Cable and internet $60.00 a month

Hydro and water cheap especially the water bill $60.00 a YEAR.

Remember Police officers and primary school teachers are paid $180.00 every two weeks.

Answer 5

south central mexico you can live with that, as long as you stay away from the tourist areas, thare is a big foreigner comunity in the beach by oaxaca the name of the place is mazunte and san agustinillo, it is a tropical paradise, look it up on line, that is about the only place i have been to that meets your requirements and it is also by the ocean.

it is within an hour or huatulco and puerto escondido(both are big tourist areas, but this place is right in between, just as pretty and close enought to a city.

mexican emigration should not be your biggest concern, there are many ways of being in mexico, to be straight with them and your income will not be a big deal.
