Ok. I have seen a bunch of threads about trying to get info about moving affshore. So, anyone that ives off shore, please post in this thread to help thise considering it.

I will be posting about Mexico. I live just south of the border. My experiances may not be the same as yours, and are therefore not right ir wrong.

There are some things to consider before you pack up and move.

1. where would you like to go?
2. what do you plan to take with you?
3. how do you plan to make a living?
4. is what you do legal?
5. Will you have enough money to get back if the new country doesn not work out the way you planned?
6. do you need a visa
7. can you bring your pets
8. can you bring your car.
9. how do you plan to do banking?
10. what is the cost of living.
11. do you understand that there is NOT a walmart on every corner?
12. if you have children where and how will they be schooled?
13. Is there high speed connection?
14. What do I need to purchase land?

These are some of the things to consider.

We live in Mexico, just south of the border. I will hit each number in order with a brief statment.

1. where would you like to go?
We chose Mexico, because of being close to the water and the border!

2. what do you plan to take with you?
We brought our clothes, computers, and a few furniture items to avoid the import fees. We are Americans, and therefore rich in the Eyes of the Mexican government.

3. how do you plan to make a living?
We do porn, and also the mainstream work. We are also working on opening a new business.

4. is what you do legal?
Semi legal. It is done in the home, so I dont need a licnese.

5. Will you have enough money to get back if the new country doesn not work out the way you planned? Yes. Load the truck, pay the 2.40$ toll on the express way, sit in 3 hours of border traffic, and I am back in the US.

6. do you need a visa?
No. Providing you dont go south of Ensenada. If you do, a tourist visa is 20$ and you can buy it when you get to the destination.

7. can you bring your pets?
Yes. Bring their shot record. Or get the shots in Mexico for 1/3 the price.

8. can you bring your car.
If you plan on living more than 66 miles fomr the border you should import your car. there are restrictions on this. But, if you say you are on vacation, and have a tourist visa, you can be anywhere in Mexico.

9. how do you plan to do banking?
We have a bank in the US, and one in Mexico. To get an account in Mexico, we had to have an FM3. which is like a green card in the US. but a lot easier to get.

10. what is the cost of living.
Cost of living is cheap. Electricity for a 3/3 is about 60 to 80 dollars a month. GOOD beef is about 9 dollars a kilo. 2.2 pounds. and out rent of an older house is 420$. A friend bought a very nice 3/3 in a great community for 135k. 3 blocks from the beach. Gas for the car is at about 2.20$ per gallon. Compare to San Diego for about 2.60$ a gallon.

11. do you understand that there is NOT a walmart on every corner?
the closest walmart is either in San Diego or Mexicali. We do have a Sams and a Costco, but they do not sell all of the same things. And the quality of some of the items that you recognize is not the same.

12. if you have children where and how will they be schooled?
We will be home schooling our son, as the school system here sucks major ass.

13. Is there high speed connection.?
Yes. With the phone company you can get dsl, with the cable comepany you can get a cable modem, and there is a company that offers radio.

14. What do I need to purchase land?
In Mexico, you will need an FM3, which is easy to get, and a bank trust is you plan to live withing 66 miles of the border or the water. the bank trust is about 2k, and after that about 300 a year. the bank actually owns the home or land, but you can sell it, transfer it or will it to someone. No restrictions on the trust. But there are few home loans given here, and when they do it is 18 to 26%.

Now I am sure that I lef a lot out, and I will add more as the thread goes. If anyone has any questions, you can hit me on ICQ.
