I am coming down for a week in April to tour the country and then file for the Residency Program. Any advice?? I have contacted the group that offers a tour of the country, does anyone know of a better way to see a little of everything. I plan on ...
As far as I am aware of, Mexico still does not allow anyone other than Mexican Citizens the ability to own property there at any of the coastlines...... Have a few friends who have (or still do) own homes... but not the property itself. Read More

Why Retirees Leave Family Behind to Relocate in Latin/South America by mperry1946
Here is a topic my wife and I are tolling with as we, as retirees, consider packing-up, selling our properties, etc. and heading south to retire in the warm climes with our two adopted grand daughters. We will be leaving behind our children (who ...
My DH and I are not overly concerned about packing up and moving as we have always planned on being a bit Nomadic when we retire permanently. We basically keep in touch with family via a the phone as mine is scattered all over the States. We are ... Read More

Why so many private messages? by CaribeGal
I get a LOT of private messages from this group, and while I don't mind answering your queries that way, I wonder why more people don't just post to the forum? There are at least several Ambergris Caye/San Pedro expats that read this forum, and all ...
