Mexico: HIV Med Costs/Health Insurance:

I think for serious medical condition medicine is expensive in Mexico. May be not as much as in the States but you will need to pay cash and you would not receive any social help. I am speaking about cancer and I believe your situation would not easy. I hope I am wrong. Hospitals stays are also expensive.

Mexico: Advice about Riviera Maya:

Most countries are safe for women. Finding it cheaper to live overseas, I do not think so. It has never been unless you wish to eat only rice and beans jn a hut. I find living overseas more expensive. I am retired now in Mexico and my entire life was around the world. I thought same then as I do now. To get visa for long term, question your nearest Mx consulate where you will be given the pertinent info. Most of the time or even never you would need a lawyer. To choose the country it all depends to you, the further from your home country or the nearest. Airlines tickets cost. Re medical expenses, if a serious illness strikes, only your cash will let you in hospital and it can climb fast. There are excellent doctors in Mexico. You can find here whatever you wish for. Your message does not show when answering so I am not sure of all your questions. Did you mentioned trafeling with a bike., if yes, I would not advise it really. I live in Quintana Roo, that is a safe state as Yucatan is. Nice cities with history in Yucatan are Merida, Izamal, Valadollid. Lake Chappala is beautiful but too many old expats. I live in the South of Quintana Roo away from mass tourism and expats community. There is so much to choose from. Have you lived overseas before? Important question.... Take care.

Mexico: Expats living in Merida:

My advice. Do you have a visa? The six months given at the arrival is not always given,and instead one can obtain only one month. It happened to me many years ago and nowadays regulations are stricter here. Just to know. I hope you can get what you wish.

Mexico: Cozumel: Woody's Restaurant:

On Facebook there are lot of expats groups for Quontana Roo, Cancun, Playa, Cozumel.. Try to direct yourself that way. People in Cancun or the other cities visit Cozumel for sure. There are English speakin groups, Canadians and francophones. Regards I am in Chetumal a little too far. Or contact the restaurant.

Mexico: Effects of policies of new administration on lives of expats living in Mexico?:

Tucevidh. With your mentality, how could you talk about Expat life in Mexico? You are also very rude. How sad to have people like you writing on this group. I wonder where is the adminstrator.

Mexico: Forum gone dark?:

May be too much politics .....

Mexico: Tour guide in Cancun:

Worth visiting Chetumal where I am retired in our water front property. Safe, clean, no mass tourism. Take care France

Mexico: Have you experienced an increase in the hostility towards Americans?:

Do not worry.. nothing have changed. I have a property in Chetumal since 2006.

Mexico: Expat tax preparation services:

There are companies like Turbo tac online and Green .expat tax and many others. Or have an accountant in the states to do it for you. I chose due to my corporation to have an accountant in the US and by obligation we have one here.

Mexico: 65 and over health insurance:

You are so right on each point. Refuted B. Cancer striked in the household. No insurance and a house that is difficult to sell. Medical care can be very expensive here in mx as well and only cash can support it. Feel stuck.
