Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Monterrey
Mexico's industrial capital and wealthiest city, with a business culture more similar to the US than anywhere else in the country. Most expats live in San Pedro Garza Garcia, the country's priciest neighborhood, with international schools and corporate campuses. English is not widely spoken outside business settings, and you'll want to research neighborhood safety carefully, but living costs are a fraction of comparable US cities.
Taco stands on every corner, rooftop mezcal at sunset, a rhythm of life where lunch is the main event and the street markets overflow with colors you forgot existed.
Visa
Temporary Resident Visa — requires $4,185/mo income or $69,750 in savings. Valid 1-4 years, no employer sponsorship needed. Permanent Resident Visa available after 4 years or with $278,500+ in investments/savings. 2026 update: fees doubled and qualification criteria tightened.

Mexico has no path from tourist status to residency inside the country — you must apply at a Mexican consulate in the US. Healthcare is excellent and affordable (private insurance ~$100/mo), but bureaucracy moves slowly.

Next steps for moving to Mexico
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
