Is there like a sinle person that could help me get paperwork, a job, and an apartment in mexico?

Question

im looking for someone who lives in the cabos area, or has a lot of knowledge about it that could walk me through the steps of starting a new life in mexico. i live in america now, and cant find anything on the web to help

Answer 1

You live where the people where you're going to find a job are coming to where you live because there are no jobs where your going to look for a job. Does that help?

Answer 2

Um no offence, but I see people like you all the time.   People who start fantasizing about living in Mexico after having a great vacation at a resort for 2 weeks.  You usually last 1 month or less, depending when the money runs out.

Living and working in mexico is very hard!!  Especially for a gringa.   You can't just move here.  You can only stay on a vistors visa for up to 180 days.  If you want to stay longer you need to start your FM3 paperwork.  This is a very hard process.  Mexico frowns on having gringos/as work in jobs that their citizens should be in.  You also have to prove you have an income to support yourself of $1000 or more.   You will need sponsorship.

Do you speak Spanish fluently?  

Do you have a career that would be seen as a benefit?  i.e. Real estate agent or translator or manager for one of the chain stores here...home depot or costco?  Can they sponsor you?

And finally.  Renting an apartment.  What kind of references do you have?  Do you realize that Cabo is one of the most expensive cities in Mexico.  Do you realize how much it costs for electricity and air conditioning a month?   You are probably getting the run around from the realtors because they see dozens of enquiries like yours.  

And finally.  No one 'starts a new life in Mexico' that isn't on the run or has done something illegal.  Maybe you should just deal with your situation instead of trying to run away?

Best of luck.

Answer 3

Good luck. If this is what you want to do, then don't let anyone get you down. Just make sure you really think it out and are being realistic about your expectations.

We are moving to Mexico in about ten months. I have done tons of research (there is always some sort of info) and will still be working in the U.S. I can't imagine trying to live off of a Mexican salary where the minimum wage can be $4.50 a day!!!! Think about that.

Answer 4

Timeshare sales or a Mexican boyfriend are about your only choices.  Mexicans need the jobs much more than you do!

Answer 5
