Hello,
I will be moving to Mexico... the Tulum area, soon. Initially, I will only have a Tourist Visa.
I imagine that there are many people who have spent more than 6 months in Mexico, without getting anything more then the Tourist Visa.
I am finding some difficulties that I imagine others have experience, and maybe conquered.
Such as:
1) Buying a car and driving legally in Mexico with only a Tourist Visa
2) Issues with having a Pet (does my Dog have to leave after 6 months also?)
3) The Mexico to Belize 'to-renew-my-passport' drive. I heard some undesirable aspects of this trip.
4) Opening a Mexican Bank Account
5) Accidentally losing your visa paperwork, and what happens when you want to fly back to the USA (and then back to Mexico)
6) Maybe some other issues.
Now I have heard of ways to circumnavigate some of these. Some might be illegal... or il advised... or against the intent of the law, even if within the law.
I know nobody here would practice any of these 'circumnavigate techniques'... but I am just collecting data... so if you happen to know someone who has, please share it with me.
Unfortunately, I'm not rich. I'm just trying to get some 'inside info' to try to make my life easier in Tulum.
Thanks
Larry
