Welcome to MexPat
About Mexpat Guide
At Mexpat Guide, we’re dedicated to helping expats, retirees, and long-stay visitors make Mexico feel like home. Whether you’re settling in for a new chapter, exploring long-term possibilities, or simply seeking clarity in a new environment, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Our Mission
- Deliver reliable, up-to-date guidance so expats and long-stay visitors can make informed decisions with confidence.
- Simplify the transition to life in Mexico by offering practical, easy-to-follow information on daily living, processes, and cultural adaptation.
- Support long-term success and comfort by helping newcomers find the best places to live, work, retire, and thrive.
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.
