Financial requirements to obtain Residency in Mexico going up drastically in 2022?

There has been a lot of talk lately about the financial solvency requirements for residency going up drastically in 2022. This along with people facing immigration issues getting 180 day tourist permits, has left people flooding Mexican consulates to apply for residency. People are facing increased issues getting appointments at Mexican Consulates and some even are booked solid for several months. There is also confusion as to what financial requirements they must meet because they sometimes vary from consulate to consulate.

On another note some popular Mexico Blogs have implied that the financial solvency requirements have gone down from past years due to the adoption of a new formula. Actually, I did a previous video explaining this new formula and how it works. This has caused a lot of confusion. So which one is it? Are they going up or are they going down? It all comes down to my famous answer of “It Depends”. Today, I am going to try to sort through this confusion and answer this question as best I can because truth is that there is no black and white answer. I am also going to try to dispel some misconceptions people may have about the financial solvency requirements here in Mexico.

Mexican Immigration Trends 2022. What you need to know!

was the first YouTube Channel to cover the emerging immigration situation in several videos since it started almost a year ago. I started by covering the current immigration computer upgrades and plans to curb individuals abusing the Mexican Immigration system by overstaying their visa with little to no recourse and gaining back to back 180 day tourist permits. I know that this met a lot of resistance amongst the YouTube and Facebook community, but I felt it was important to bring this relevant information to the Expat community no matter how unpopular it may have seemed at the time.

Now individuals are facing increased issues when trying to obtain tourist permits when arriving at several airports in Mexico. People are consistently posting their experience of not getting the time they requested or 180 days as expected which a normal practice in the past.

So what can we expect to see from Mexican Immigration in this coming year? In today’s videos I am going to try and break down future immigration trends here in Mexico. I am also going to try to give possible explanations of why this is happening and dispel some myths floating around on social media.
