Moving to Mexico with Confidence

A simple, practical starter guide to help you prepare for a move to Mexico with confidence and clarity.

Moving to Mexico is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. This guide breaks everything down into straightforward steps so you know what truly matters, what can wait, and what most people wish they’d known from the beginning.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A short, clear overview checklist

• The top mistakes people make (and how to avoid them)

• What no one tells you about life in Mexico, but should

• Step-by-step guidance if you’re driving across the border

• Residency basics in plain English

• How to handle U.S. mail, banking, money, and SIM cards

• Practical tips for using a VPN, staying safe, and keeping your sanity

• What to expect in your first days and first 24 hours

• Cultural surprises (good and not-so-good)

• A mini printable checklist for quick reference

• Helpful Spanish phrases for arrival

• And gentle closing thoughts for anyone starting over

This is the guide I wish I had when I moved to Mexico: clear, down to earth, and honest.
