The Practicalities of Living Part of the Year in Mexico
by Mexperience
There has always been a contingent of foreign residents who live in Mexico part-time, usually between late fall and early spring of the following year.
Every year, people arrive in Mexico to stay for an extended period that doesn’t exceed six months, before returning to their home country.
Seasonal visits and healthcare matters
Some people want to leave behind the cold winters in their home country. Others living in Mexico like to return home during the high summer months to avoid the sultry humidity that is prevalent at most of Mexico’s beach locations between May and October. Some enjoy Mexico for part of the year, and return to be reunited with their friends and family at home, or to take care of work or business matters there.
For Canadians and Europeans, maintaining a ‘legal residency’ in their home country by staying physically present there for at least half of the year gives them access to healthcare schemes provided by their countries’ welfare systems. Some expats prefer their home country in small doses, and love Mexico most when they only live here part-time.
Whatever the reason —they are too numerous and diverse to document in this brief article— part-time residency in Mexico is a growing trend among foreigners.
