Why We Started
Many people arrive in Mexico with questions but no single trustworthy source of answers.
- Residency rules can be confusing.
- Healthcare options aren’t always clear.
- Costs vary depending on location and lifestyle.
- Community information is often scattered across forums and social media.
We created Mexpat Guide to bring everything together in one place — clear, accurate, and regularly updated.
