Farmacias del Ahorro are everywhere in Mexico. You can get a consultation free.. You just tip them 50 ,100 pesos. They don't charge you. You just have to buy the medicine in the pharmacy(but there's no obligation) . When I've had severe flu, stomach infection, back pain, or even covid I went to the pharmacy doctor and they're very good. The one near my home has a retired doctor ( wants to keep working) he has 35 years experience.. He's been more effective than other especialists that charge 1,200 pesos (65dlls or so) .
¡Tienes razón sobre los grupos de expatriados! Muchos de ellos se quejan y se quejan constantemente de Mérida o de México en general. Si haces una pregunta, muchas personas son groseras y sarcásticas. Es refrescante cuando alguien es amable y servicial, pero tienes razón sobre el entorno tóxico. Gracias, José, por todo lo que haces.
We went all over the place when we were in Centro Guadalajara. We were exhausted from so much walking but as we kept going there was just more and more to see! So happy we were able to make it through! Glad you enjoyed the video!
A que bien! Aqui esta el video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UW5A5nq4V9c.html Ya la señora que era dueña de la granja la vendio y no sabemos que han hecho con la propiedad. Por lo menos tenemos el requerdo bonito en este video
New subscriber finally more accurate information on MY OLD AND ONE OF MY TOP 20 FAVORITE COUNTRIES FOR EXPATTING : Mexico the place makes you feel full.
Jose, just got done watching the Complete Video, Broder Your BEST 👍🏻, and I have been watching your videos for a long time. EXCELENTE Cuidensen, Andres
Wonderfully informative video. I appreciate the authenticity and humor of your videos. We are planning on moving to Mexico ASAP and I feel anxious about it, but this really helps! ❤
Careful with the water. Here in the Yucatan I know of several people who have developed kidney stones from drinking the hard tap water. Thanks for sharing!
My understanding is if you are a permanent resident, you cannot drive using your USA driver's license. Temporary residency can, but not permanent. Which market is in your video?
Police don't ask you what you residency status is. They also don't really care much about the license either. They care more about the actual paperwork to the car. But the truth is that each state is completely different so just research before hand to make sure you have everything in order
Jose Cuando vas a tener El Abogado en un Podcast Otra Ves ? Ya finalmente tome La Decision de Mudarme para Mexico, y no quiero Perder Dinero O Tiempo, quiero hacerlo todo Legal. Gracias 🙏 y Cuidensen.
@@JhomasE Technically speaking that is not a "Visa". It's properly called a "Tourist Permit" or an FMM (Forma Migratoria Multiple) Many people, including youtubers who give advice on moving to Mexico, still refer to them as a visa and that's where the confusion comes from. Buena suerte!
Hi Jose, which Mexican bank would you recommend or have heard good comments about? Have you heard a lot of negative comments on certain banks? Thank you.
@@JoseArteagaTravels Hola Jose y Christian! BBVA charges close to ten dollars for their ATM use and the big thing is they do not give you the option to decline the exchange rate they offer! I went to use their ATM when I first moved here and it said their exchange rate they were giving was 17.50 and I knew at that time the official exchange rate was 19.80 so I cancelled my transaction and walked to the HSBC. Just by having the option to decline their exchange rate I saved $59.73us when I withdrew $9000 pesos for rent! That is a huge money saving tip that quite a few people are not aware of. When you get money from an ATM you have to accept their use fee but you don't have to accept the exchange rate they are giving. You will still get your money if you decline it!! They hide the decline botton in the bottom left hand corner! Another big money saving tip is to get a Charles Schwab debit card before leaving the US and just do most of your banking needs online. They refund your ATM use fees and they don't charge you an exchange rate fee along with any transfer fees. Keep your regular bank in the US and just transfer only as much money to your Charles Schwab account as needed. It's a good way to keep your money safe without having to regularly use a Mexican bank. BTW Banks here are not run like in the US, you have to take a number when you walk in and sometimes sit for close to an hour just to talk with someone! Mucha suerte desde la hermosa Ensenada!
In Sayulita we use Intercam. My friend who has lived there for 20 years recommended them as he uses that bank. They are very friendly toward Americans, they have branches all over, they have people who speak English if one does not speak Spanish fluently, they provided proper wiring instructions, and the accept as well as send international wires. I have never been limited on the amount of a wire, deposit, or withdrawal

@JoseArteagaTravels thank you. I will definitely look into this. Great channel and content. I will probably message you in the Querétaro Expats group if that is ok.
As of now Yes it is only for those who entered before 2022. You can watch this video for more info ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XH9lxrAehSU.html
got another question regarding preparing to immigrate to Mexico from the US: I have no clue if you know the answer to this but my plan for income has been getting a TESL certification so i can be a Maestro de Ingles online. But I recently got a job as a van driver, delivering for Amazon and learned from the 18 wheeler amazon drivers that there is a trucker school where i can get training and a CDL for free so i can become a dedicated semi truck driver. If I took advantage of this opportunity to learn to be a semi truck driver on top of me becoming an online english teacher, can an immigrant with a residency visa get a job as a semi truck driver in Mexico? As in working for a mexican company, getting paid in pecos? I've heard the term "work visa" but don't know much about that subject. Asking because i dont want to put in the work to learn a whole new trade if it's a skillset i can't use in Mexico. For example I know that if i were a licenced pilot, i cant fly planes for a living in Mexico (or so i've been told).
Yes of course you can be a truck driver and teach english. You just need a work permit which you can obtain at INM if you want to have a more in depth conversation about this you can book a 1 on 1 consultation and I can try to help you to the best of my abilities. Here's a direct link for more info www.josearteaga.com/youtube-consultations
thanks! yeah i actually plan on doing a 1 on 1 consultation with you in the near future. As soon as i finish becoming a TESL instructor online and am in a stable routine of doing that as a stable job, finishing learning spanish will be the last bare minimum goal to accomplish before i start visiting a list of towns in Mexico that im considering moving to as a way to both help myself figure out what town i want to live in and to field test the digital nomad capabilities of my job. And i want to pay for a couple of consultations with you at that point before i start visiting so i can find out any holes in my immigration plan. :)
Hi Jose 👋 don't mean to be conspiratorial but I didnt get a notification of your upload (it's set to "All") and didn't appear in my subscription feed Hopefully this glitch only happened to me. Just wanted to make you aware of a potential issue 🤙🏼
Muchas Gracias Thanks for letting me know! Actually it's a bit of an experiment I am doing to see if youtube can recommend my videos to other viewers who have never heard of or seen my channel. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I'm used to the Heat I was born and raised in Miami where we have similar weather. I was also a cook/chef for a long period of my life so it is easier for me to handle the heat. Also we have Air Conditioners and we go out to the Beach or a friends pool, or a Cenote to cool off. We never once had any power issues here where I live. There are many parts of Merida without any issues whatsoever. Most of the areas with problems are in the North where there is a lot more demand and less infrastructure to handle all the needs of everyone having their Air Conditioners on at the same time 24/7.
Hanson, You have a right to say that... You were there with me during the Pandemic cooking show!! :) We love Jose more than most! :) I have already had SO much FREE stuff from Jose, but I will admit I purchased t-shirts and a cool sticker for my laptop! :)
Love your videos. Would like your opinion on this: Russia has offered to supply Mexico with nukes. What is your position on this? Do you feel Russia would come up through Mexico if Mexico excepts? I just want to know the truth. I love the Mexican people and it would make me sad if that happened.
Mexico is not going to accept Nukes from Russia. Mexico and the USA have a very dependent relationship with each other and Mexico has absolutely no need to do anything like that. Cuba or Venezuela are more likely to do something like that and they won't do it there either. I would say to you not to believe everything you hear online or on the main stream news or where ever you heard such a thing. If anyone is putting Nukes in Mexico its the USA and they also have no need to do such a thing. Despite what you hear on the News Mexico and the USA are tied at the hip and enjoy a mutually beneficial relationship that is only getting stronger with time.
I think you should be clear that most Mexican businesses appreciate American dollars. However, mexicans do not see Americans as dollar signs. We make our own money and do not expect Americans to pay for us or give us money. At least here in Monterrey, Mexico, we don't do that. We have our own money, and we are okay with Americans. We don't ''love them''; we are just okay with them. If they are cool, we are cool; if they are not cool, believe me, we can be very mean. But usually, Americans are cool, so they are welcome. It has nothing to do with U.S. dollars. I cringe every time an American says that.
Most Mexican Businesses DO NOT Prefer US Dollars. Perhaps in certain Mexican Cities on the US Border or close to the Border like Monterey. Or in touristy spots like in Cancun they prefer USD. But anywhere else in the country Mexicans want Pesos. In fact I know of many people that drive across the border all the time and for over a year now they have been telling me that even the Mexican Vendors do not want US Dollars anymore they ONLY Want Mexican Pesos and will only accept the US Dollars if you are willing to pay more/pay a premium. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
