We (my wife and I) would. like to retire in mexico. Both are receiving as but our checks are together only about 2200 and my wife’s pension from the state of NM puts our total income at about 3450 monthly. Will this amount be considered adequate for temporary residence visa. Thank you for being such a help to reveal the topic of Mexican residential questions.
