Mexico Is A Friendly Haven For Retirees

By Jane Goodwin | June 4, 2007

Mexico does not market a full-blown pensionado program to entice foreign retirees to its shores, as many other Central American countries do, but it is nevertheless a friendly haven for retirees from the United States, Canada, and beyond.

As a foreign retiree on one of two types of retiree visas, you can bring in your household goods duty-free!

If you plan to spend just a small portion of the year in Mexico and plan to rent a furnished house or apartment, you may not even want to bother getting a retiree visa. The FM-T tourist card is good for six months. However, if you decide to live in Mexico full-time, you may want to investigate other options.

Tomorrow, we will discuss a few types of FM-3 visas, and touch upon FM-2 visas. Stay tuned.
