Cabo San Lucas, Mexico

"Expat retirees should research their chosen retirement area thoroughly to ensure the lifestyle they are looking for is available locally. They should consider factors such as government support and local laws and regulations, the cost of living and taxes, the local climate, the availability of amenities and quality of healthcare, and the friendliness of the local population. It is also important to investigate Mexico’s visa and immigration requirements for people staying for extended periods of time. Lastly, expats should familiarise themselves with Mexican culture, customs, and language to ensure a smooth transition when moving to Cabo San Lucas," said one expat who made the move to Cabo San Lucas.

"Be clear on what your intention is for moving to Mexico. To get a retirement visa is very different then getting a work visa. If you are coming to work be sure you have enough money to live for at least 6 months. Find your tribe, there is a wide range of people here, know who you are and who you want to hang with. Do your homework read through the Mexico government sites, there is a lot of information there....however know that things can change in a heart beat, So make sure your information is current when you decide to move. Get on the Facebook groups, ask questions, we stick together here, we help each other out," explained one expat living in Cabo San Lucas , Mexico.
