About MexPat Guide

Welcome

Mexpat Guide is here to help expats, retirees, and long-stay visitors navigate life in Mexico with confidence.
Our mission is simple: provide clear, reliable, and practical information so your transition is less stressful and more rewarding.


Why We Started

Many people arrive in Mexico with questions but no single trustworthy source of answers.

  • Residency rules can be confusing.
  • Healthcare options aren’t always clear.
  • Costs vary depending on location and lifestyle.
  • Community information is often scattered across forums and social media.

We created Mexpat Guide to bring everything together in one place — clear, accurate, and regularly updated.


What You’ll Find Here

  • Residency Guides – visa requirements, renewals, and steps to permanent residency.
  • Healthcare – public vs. private care, insurance options, and recommended clinics.
  • Cost of Living – housing, utilities, groceries, and lifestyle budgets.
  • Social Life – expat groups, events, and opportunities to connect.
  • Practical Tools – checklists, FAQs, and resources you can actually use.

Who We Are

We are a small, independent team of long-term expats, currently based in Puerto Vallarta with connections across Mexico.

Our focus is on:

  • Clarity – plain-language guides.
  • Accuracy – verified with official sources.
  • Practicality – information you can act on.
  • Community – helping expats connect and thrive.

Our Values

  • Clarity: We write guides in plain English, free of unnecessary jargon.
  • Accuracy: We regularly update information to reflect changes in laws or costs.
  • Community: We believe expats succeed best when they help one another.
  • Practicality: We cut through fluff and deliver what really matters.
