I've been looking into my options for staying in Mexico long term. I've been in Chiapas for over 2 years, entering and exiting every 180 days on the basic tourist visa. I can't continue doing this for many reasons and have started looking into my options. I've been talking to an immigration lawyer in D.F. via email but she hasn't responded back to me for awhile now. Maybe she is taking a long vacation?
Anyway, I wanted to get some feedback from people who have already gone through this process, especially recently since the rules have changed a couple years ago.
I was told my three options would be to either have a job, savings (with the minimum amount required) or have a bound with a Mexican (family relation or if I marry). Out of those options, I can only use either a job or a bound with a mexican (my mexican boyfriend and I are serious and talking marriage, he is the reason why I am looking into temp. residency). I don't make enough to reach the minimum amount required to apply.
At this time, my main question is, would I still need to meet the financial requirements to apply for a temp. visa going the route of work or bound? I have been confused with this. I asked many people and they all give me different answers.
Any advice would be helpful! Thank you!
