Temporary Resident Visa Requirements (mainly financial)

7 years ago
Hello. My husband and I have made the decision to hopefully become expatriates in San Miguel de Allende, mid-year in 2017 when my husband plans to retire. Internet research has led to considerable contradicting information, to include what appears to be conflicting requirements, even among the various Mexican Consulates in the United States. Specifically, the income requirements for temporary residents seem to vary pending the site one is viewing. We live in Maryland, and see on the Washington DC Consulate site, the income requirement is $1560 per person, however, after just speaking to a person at the Philadelphia Consulate, we were informed that amount is $1200. When my husband retires in June of 2017, his Social Security income, in tandem with my Social Security Disability Insurance will total $2580. Therefore it would appear we would qualify for temporary resident visas in Philadelphia, but not in Washington DC. Is this true, or are we missing something? Also, is this combined income applicable for a couple, or must individual income minimums be satisfied? We’re asking that question because his SS will be higher than my SSDI income, and we are hoping the total income for two is the parameter by which our temporary resident visas will be considered.
