Welcome! There is lots of good info here.
Use the search feature, and you'll find a wealth of posts about many subjects.
Where are you now, and when do you want to move?

Yeah, I've just been reading through this forum. I'm glad that I found it. It's precisely the kind of thing I was looking for.
I'm in Delaware now. 12 degrees at the moment. Heh.
Late 2017, I'm planning on. Like really planning on, though. You know how a lot of people just say they're planning something? Well, not me, I really
am.
I'm not wealthy, though. I'm just a regular guy.
And Thank you.

You ever been to baja? I would suggest spending a lot of time there before you make the move. It's definitely not for everyone.

I don't know why you picked Baja to move to. Mexico is huge and swarming with Gringos. Lots of places to dream of. Of course, we've found our place
here in the sun. Maybe make a list of the things that are important to you and post them and we'll be better able to make some suggestions.

Before you even begin to think about moving here, you need to send me three cases of frosty Pacifico along with your application, filled out and
notarized.

Sure. I am planning on going down there a couple of times in the mean time. Which is how I ended up here. Actually, I have good friend whose family
has a beautiful home there. Which, thankfully, she's been kind enough to offer show me around the place.
But yeah. Of course. Thanks.

have fun exploring! and I agree that the mainland has lots to offer too. It is beautiful and lush in any places with lots of the amenities that
cannot be found here in Baja.

Hi Jimmy, Many times there is some good advice on here. Beware of people who send you private messages about "opportunities" to buy. Always rent
first and make sure the person renting isn't just trying to separate your money from your wallet.

One Newbie warning another Newbie...be careful. Well, what did you think. Somebody is gonna give you a gold mine? If Viking doesn't like it here
then porque?! Do your homework and then slowly..ask a few small Q's. Not... I'm moving to Mex and want to know all the best stuff. Way too
Millineumesque. In my view! Search it out on your own in a VW Van!! Tio

Jimmy, there is a new book out there (Amazon.com) called 'Living or Retiring in Mexico' that has a lot of info on Baja and about everyday events like
shopping, gas, banking, you name it.Available to download or have a hard copy send to you in 2 days.
https://www.amazon.com/Living-Retiring-Mexico-need-before-eb...
The grass is always greener....
and so, there is always a better spot in Baja

If you actually want to MOVE to Mexico, you need to research Mexican immigration requirements. On a tourist visa, you will have to leave every 180
days. Otherwise, you apply for a temporary residency through a Mexican consulate in the States, a process which you complete once you get to Mexico at
an immigration office (not at the border). There are financial requirements for the temporary residency visa.
