What do I need to know before moving to Tijuana?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Tijuana, they said...
"Expatriates should do some research before moving to Tijuana. It is a large and complex city with a range of demographic and economic patterns, so understanding it helps to make informed decisions. Expats should also familiarize themselves with the language, as it is rarely spoken elsewhere in Mexico or in many parts of Latin America. Additionally, as Tijuana is close to the US border, it is important to be aware of visa regulations and laws regarding crossing the border and obtaining necessary permits. Healthcare is another important factor to consider; while there are many excellent medical and dental facilities in Tijuana, it is still wise to review the quality of care and obtain any necessary travel insurance in advance. Safety is a common concern for expats, and it is always wise to research the area thoroughly before committing to a move," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Tijuana, Mexico.
"Don't move here! I was nearly kidnapped. The cartels have made this place way too dangerous! I fled this place to save my life and the life of my husband and lost everything! You have to be insane to consider living in Mexico these days," commented one expat who made the move to Tijuana, Mexico.
