Hi David and Melissa, I'd suggest exploring the immigration process as well. One needs employment certification to work in Mexico, which involves receiving a sponsorship/work invitation, or applying for a temporary work Visa.

Some say just come on down and hang your shingle, but, this can be very risky. If an immigration official decides to visit you (which happens), and you don't have the necessary documentation to work in the country, they will send you packing. I know I may sound a bit like "Debbie Downer" here, but, it's important to do it the correct way, especially if you fall in love with San Miguel, and decide you really want to settle here.

A fellow in San Miguel who has a good reputation is Ian Clement. Check out his Website, or send him an Email.

Saludos,
David MacLean

so very grateful David.

With all the good intentions of Ian Clement or anyone in Mexico, you have to start the immigration process where you live. Start with a visit to the nearest Mexican Consulate to learn of the income qualifications regarding permanent or temporary residence in Mexico. With a Residencia Permamente visa, you can work. You also have to realize that you are not licensed in Mexico. If you have experience with Mexicans or other Latinos in NYC, then the cultural differences that are part being a social worker will be lessened. It would be easier to start your own business or find a job before moving than to find employment after you settle. ¡Suerte!

oh so grateful for the input, xalapa!
