Mexico Residence
Obtaining Mexican residency offers numerous advantages, including the ability to live in the country long-term without frequent visa renewals. It provides access to healthcare, the right to work or start a business, and the opportunity to own property in restricted zones near coasts and borders. Residency can also serve as a pathway to Mexican citizenship for those looking to naturalize in the future. Additionally, Mexico’s lower cost of living and vibrant culture make it an attractive option for retirees, digital nomads, and expatriates seeking a high quality of life.
