If you ever considered retiring in Mexico, and we ARE, this is the book. It gives US and Canadian citizen the right information, in an easy to read and understand format.

You will find excellent suggestions on where to live, what to expect and how to deal with Mexican immigration laws. Our experience is limited to Lake Chapala area, but the information in the book are accurate and up to date for that region.

I only gave 4 stars as I felt the book could cover a bit more about Mexican life style. I know there are other books on the topic, but it would have been nice to cover some here too.

Mexico is changing rapidly. I strongly suggest that you try buying the most recent edition on any Mexican books.

Like I would imagin many that purchase this book I'm considering retiring and am seeking the opportunities to experience a different culture, a slower pace, an area with better values and less crime, lower taxes and a lower cost of living. I'd like to find that secure feeling of rural-town america of years ago before everyone sought entitlement, special interest groups recieved preferiental treatment, and we passed laws ensuring evryone's individual rights became far more important than our societies needs. Is this Mexico? This book provides an insight to some of the cultural differences, climate differences of areas, cost of living differences and some other very benefitial information. I would reccomend this well-written book to anyone considering an extended trip to Mexico.

This was the most informative, engrossing travel book I have ever read. I am partial to Mexico anyway, but this was written almost like a novel, which made it more interesting. It was full of interesting and entertaining tidbits of information gleaned from the collaborators' many years of experience in traveling to that country. I had initially looked at about 5 different titles and authors on the topic, decided I didn't need that many books, and zeroed in on this one. I'm very glad it's the one I chose to order.

Anyone thinking about living outside the United States should read a book like this. It contains a lot of very valuable information. It gives many explinations of issues you will face and have to deal with. It gives you information about some of the countries you may move too and the requirements their governments will require of you.It also gives you ideas of the areas to live within the country and the cost of realestate, hiring local help. and costs of living there. Excellant book, reasonable cost, very informative.

This book provides only/focuses on the administrative and practical aspects of retiring to Mexico. It covers the different types of residency visas and the process of making the physical move. It does not cover any cultural, language or daily life aspects. Regulations and procedures change every year (or even months) in Mexico and so the author should have included contacts and references for more up-to-date or current sources of information.

I really didn't think this book was very helpful except in talking me out of retiring to Mexico. Mostly negative.
