Retiring in Monterrey

Retiring MonterreyMonterrey, with its clean streets and U.S.-style amenities is definitely like a home-away-from-home and would be an ideal place for U.S. or Canadian baby boomers to consider when thinking about where to retire in Mexico.

Monterrey's weather is also another factor to take into consideration. It has a reasonably pleasant climate in spring and autumn although during the summer temperatures can reach as high as 35ºC (100ºF). However, rainfall is scarce and winters are cool but never cold.

If you're thinking about retiring in Monterrey, the immigration authorities offer a rentista visa for foreign retirees aged 51 or over. Applications for rentista status must be accompanied by a letter from a bank, social security agency or financial institution, certifying that the applicant receives a certain minimum monthly income.

Foreign retirees can also sign up for the medical IMSS plan (Mexican Social Security). It costs approximately US$300 a year and covers medical, dental and vision care.

Living in Monterrey

Bustling and booming at the feet of the breathtaking Sierra Madre mountains, Monterrey stands as a city apart in Mexico. Its wealth and industry has made it the shining star of the Mexican economy and has given its people the reputation of being a hard-working, industrious lot.

 

Monterrey Real Estate

In terms of Monterrey real estate, this rich market is equally attractive to foreign investment as well as second-home buyers. It has the highest GDP per capita in Mexico, boasts a much lower crime-rate compared to Guadalajara and Mexico City, and lies 139 miles or 224 kilometers from Laredo, Texas, which is a three-hour journey on its modern and well-maintained highways.



 

Working in Monterrey

Most expatriates either arrive in Mexico to work for a multinational company or with the idea of trying to find a job here. The latter has limited opportunities due to Mexico's fairly rigid labor laws. To get work in Mexico, a foreigner has to prove to the immigration authorities that he or she is capable of doing a job that a Mexican national isn't qualified to do.



Vacation Activities in Monterrey

There are quite a few things to do in Monterrey. Chipinque National Park, which borders Garza Garcia, is one such diversion, offering much cooler temperatures than in Monterrey, especially during the scorching summer months.
