@johndegriogo You need a temporary resident visa. They are easy to get and you can buy a new or used car.聽 A tourist visa won鈥檛 work.

@davedavis71 HI Dave - Thank you for your reply. We know that a Temporary Resident allows for car purchase. The difficulty we are facing is that the Temporary Resident visa has stringent financial requirements (56k USD parked in a bank account for 6 months) and we are not sure that we can meet those requirements at this time. Maybe down the line in the future we may be able to put together such a sum and qualify for the financial requirements for the Temporary Resident visa - but not at this time unfortunately.

This the way I got around the requirement - you need proof of $3500 a month income for the last 6 months . ****

There's an Amnisty program without financial requirements and can be done without leaving the country. I'm an Immigration specialist in case it sounds like an option, I'll be glad to help.

I am just beginning to look at Mexico as a place to retire permanently and San Maguel de Allende looks very interesting; possibly feeding the artist in me.

I will be selling a small house in the US - you mentioned an amnesty program for residency?聽 Also, is there a way I could live temporarily in Mexico waiting for the $56k/6 months in a bank requirement to be fulfilled?

What services are you able to offer and what is your pricing structure?

Please advise.聽 聽 I haven't joined expat.com as yet.

Hi, my name is Carlos. My partner is from Mexico and I am a US citizen. We are planning to move to Mexico by the end of this year. I do not want to ask for a resident visa in Mexico at this time, in part because I understand Mexico does not allow triple nationalities. I am also a citizen from a south american country. Can I still drive and buy a car in Mexico with the US passport? It is my understanding I do not need a visa.聽

@Gaby Pellicer

That program ended several months ago.

No,but your partner can.

A resident is not the same as citizenship. In fact, you must be a permanent resident for several years before you can apply for citizenship.

Reports are contradictory regarding the requirements for buying a car here. I'm in the process myself, but at the minimum you need CURP and RFC numbers. You may need a Mexican driver's license, and you definitely need insurance even in the seller doesn't require it. Then you must register the vehicle.

It's a much bigger hassle than l expected, but at least you'll be in Mexico. And that makes everything worth it!
