    I am looking for a gestor to help me with naturalization in Leon, Guanajuato.

      I don’t have a good contact in Leon Guanajuato. The closest I have are contacts in San Miguel de Allende.

    What is the average cost or estimate of hiring a facilitator?

    • Mariana Lange says

      Hi Jane,
      Every facilitator charges a different amount and based on the services they offer you.
      For example, is it just you they are helping? Will they also be helping you with your RFC and getting your CURP? Will, they also do your renewal?
      On average, you can expect to pay around $300-$600 USD plus immigration fees.

    Hi Mariana,
    I submitted a comment over a week ago and didn’t get a reply. Let’s try again. I will be relocating to Puerto Vallarta. How in depth are the resources your guide provides for the PV region? I’m looking to build a home there and would be interested in talking to contractors, architects, engineers and construction management firms.
    Thank you

    • Mariana Lange says

      Hi Erik,
      sorry you didn’t receive my reply but this was my reply to your other comment and also to your email

      “Does your guide have lots of PV specific information such as; immigration facilitators, lawyers, property managers, construction contractors etc?”
      My online guide has a great directory of immigration facilitators, lawyers and some property managers. But there isn’t a section for construction contractors.

    Hello Mariana, i cannot afford to buy the $495 relocation guide. Do you offer payment plans? For those of us that are on a budget, it is very difficult to come up with the entire amount all at once. Also, my husband and I are planning to retire to Mexico, but not in a few years. Can we apply for temporary residency while in living and working in the US? Can we rent a house long term or buy a home while in the US? Can we buy a car while in the US?

    • Mariana Lange says

      Hi Sophia
      I am sorry but I don’t offer any payment plans.
      You can absolutely apply for residency before moving permanenently and while you’re still working in the USA. You can also rent a house even if you are still living in the US although I would recommend you never rent a house without seeing it first. A lot of realtors do video walkthroughs if you cannot be here in person.

    Mariana,
    I am still not sure when and where I plan to relocate to Mexico. At first I thought Playa del Carmen or PV. I am closely following your information. If I am going to b apply for permanent residency before i move, does it matter where I would apply?

    • Mariana Lange says

      Hi ! thanks for following my information. Some consulates will require you to live in the area for you to apply to become a resident. Some do not require you to live in that state or city. So it all depends which consulate you go to.

  6. Mayra Blanco says

    Hello Mariana,
    My husband and I will be retiring to Puerto Morelos in May 2024. We are visiting in November and would like to know who is someone in the area we can talk to. We were thinking of the 180 days and leaving and coming back, but I’m not sure that is the best option. Our income will be our retirement and savings here in US. I am a bit confused because I’ve heard different things of how to go about it, but we don’t want to make it harder, but easier. Your advice is appreciated. Thank you,

    • Mariana Lange says

    Hi Mariana, thanks for the information. It’s very helpful. In Brasil, where I come from originally, this is a professional that we call despachante. I hadn’t heard yet it exists in Mexico yet happy to learn it does since I need one here in Bahias de Huatulco, Oaxaca. How does one go about finding such a professional please?

    • Mariana Lange says

    Hi Mariana,

    We applied for temp residency and were contacted by Portland Consulate to have an appointment. We were hoping to go in August but the consulate said we would have to contact them in June if we wanted to push it out for August. Do you recommend doing it sooner than later? We have limited vacation time and need to have a safe place (have kids with us) that can quickly process. We have Hermilloso as port of entry but do you recommend somewhere else like Puerta Vallarta or La Paz for quick processing?
    Muchas Gracias!!!!!!

    • Mariana Lange says

      If you don’t plan to apply until August, the consulate will not give you an appointment months from now.
      But if you can apply sooner, then schedule something sooner. However, you have up to 180 DAYS to travel to Mexico and finish the process. So I wouldn’t apply now if you cannot travel to Mexico in the next 6 months
