What do I need to know before retiring in Mexico City?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Mexico City, they said...

"Expat retirees who plan to retire in Mexico City should ensure they understand and comply with all the immigration requirements, including obtaining a permanent residency status if they plan to stay for more than six months. Additionally, because Mexico City is a large, busy urban hub, research into the different neighbourhoods is recommended to find a desirable living environment. Knowing the local language is also very useful in order to communicate, so investing in language classes or hiring a tutor may be worthwhile. Expats should also familiarise themselves with the local customs, as this will not only make living in the country more harmonious, but also make the process of assimilation course smoother. Lastly, expats should be aware of their travel options around the city, from taxis and Ubers to buses and the underground metro system," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Mexico City, Mexico.

"Look for the charm, enjoy the warmth of the people, travel in the country, visit traditional restaurants, visit museums, and enjoy having a unique life experience," commented one expat who made the move to Mexico City, Mexico.
