Because our readers ask about them, we talk a lot about “complicated” topics like second citizenships, offshore trusts, and other foreign structures. But sometimes the simplest move is the smartest.
For Americans looking to build flexibility into their lives, Mexican residency can be an ideal starting point.
It’s close. It’s accessible. And depending on your income or savings, you may even qualify for permanent residency right away – without needing to spend most of your year in-country.
Some of our clients use it as a soft landing. Others see it as a stepping stone to citizenship. But in every case, it’s part of a bigger picture: diversifying their lives while staying legally and financially prepared for what comes next.
That’s why, in this Alert, we’ll cover:
-
The two most practical residency paths for Americans.
-
Who qualifies for immediate permanent residency (and who doesn’t).
-
The financial thresholds you’ll need to meet.
-
How residency fits into a bigger wealth protection and mobility plan.
