Answer this Question

We asked expats in Puebla what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Puebla should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, it's important to understand the cost of living, which is generally lower than in many Western countries, but can vary depending on lifestyle choices. Healthcare in Puebla is of a high standard, with many doctors and dentists trained in the US or Europe. However, it's recommended to secure health insurance to cover any potential medical costs. Puebla is known for its rich history and culture, offering many opportunities for exploration and learning. However, it's also important to be aware of the language barrier, as not everyone speaks English. Learning some basic Spanish can greatly enhance your experience. The climate in Puebla is generally mild, with warm summers and cool winters. However, it can get quite cold at night due to its high altitude, so it's advisable to have appropriate clothing. Safety is another important consideration. While Puebla is generally safe, like any city, it has areas that are best avoided, especially at night. It's recommended to research and understand the local customs and laws to avoid any potential issues. Finally, it's important to understand the visa requirements for living in Mexico. Most foreigners can enter Mexico as tourists for up to 180 days, but if you plan to stay longer, you'll need to apply for a temporary or permanent resident visa. In terms of housing, there are many options available, from renting an apartment to buying a house. It's advisable to spend some time in Puebla before making a long-term commitment to ensure it's the right fit for you. Lastly, it's worth noting that while Puebla offers many modern conveniences, it's still a developing country, and certain amenities may not be as readily available or as high quality as you're used to," remarked another expat who made the move to Puebla, Mexico.
