As Seen on CPS News: Thinking About Moving to Mexico in 2025?
By Dez | My Deztination: Mexicos Trusted Residency + Relocation Expert
Back in May, I sat down with Brent & Jessy from CPS News / TVMar 10.1 to talk about something a lot of people are thinking about right now:
“How do I actually move to Mexico in 2025… legally, safely, and without losing myself in the process?”
Spoiler: there’s more to it than just paperwork.

What We Covered on Air (And Why It Matters)
The segment covered a lot of ground in just 5 minutes — but these are the parts that truly matter if you're dreaming about building a new life in Mexico:
1. The End of the RNE Program
The Regularization for Humanitarian Residency (RNE) program is now cancelled. This change closed the door for many hoping to regularize their status from within Mexico.
If you’re starting fresh in 2025, financial solvency through a consulate is your best path forward (more on that below).
2. How to Qualify for Residency in 2025
There are two main ways to prove financial solvency:
Income Route: ~$4,700 USD/month for 12 months (verifiable deposits)
Savings Route: ~$72,000–$81,000 USD in savings held for 12+ months
And here’s the catch: not all consulates interpret the rules the same way.
On the show, I named some of the easiest and hardest consulates based on what my clients are experiencing in real time.
This is exactly why strategic consults matter—one consulate might deny you, while another will approve you the next day.
3.What Relocation Really Involves
Relocating isn’t just about paperwork.
It’s about building a new life from the ground up.
We talked about:
Getting private health insurance and knowing what it actually covers
Safety and support systems, especially for solo travelers or families
Emotional overwhelm and how to avoid culture shock burnout
This is where most relocation guides stop—and where I go deeper.
4. LGBTQ+ Safety & Belonging
We also touched on something deeply important to me:
As political tensions rise in other parts of the world, more LGBTQ+ individuals and families are looking to Puerto Vallarta for safety, freedom, and community.
PV hosts Latin America’s largest Pride
Zona Romántica is a vibrant, welcoming, rainbow-colored hub
You’re not just tolerated here — you’re seen and celebrated
Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or simply value living in an open-minded environment, this city makes space for you.
During the segment, I broke down the 3 most common profiles I’m seeing right now:
Remote workers looking for legal income paths and sustainable work/life balance
Retirees choosing quality of life, affordability, and better healthcare
Freedom seekers — often LGBTQ+ folks or those burned out from the U.S. system — craving more peace, purpose, and autonomy
If you're one of them: you're not alone.
What I Want You to Know
Relocation isn’t just about moving your stuff. It’s about moving your energy, your identity, your rhythm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the RNE program still available in 2025?
No. The RNE (Regularization for Humanitarian Residency) program has been cancelled. This option is no longer viable—but there are better, legal alternatives through the consulate system.
What is financial solvency and how do I qualify?
Financial solvency is currently the most common path to Mexican residency. You can qualify either through monthly income (~$4,700 USD/month for 12 months) or savings (~$72,000–$81,000 USD seasoned for 12+ months). I help clients choose the right strategy and identify which consulate is most likely to approve them.
Can I work remotely in Mexico legally?
Yes — but it depends on how you're set up. If you're working for a foreign company, you typically don’t need a Mexican work visa. But if you’re invoicing clients or building a business in Mexico, legal structures matter. I help you understand what’s allowed and connect you to vetted accountants and legal advisors.
What if I’m feeling overwhelmed or unsure about moving?
You’re not alone — relocation is more than logistics. It's a full identity shift. I guide clients through not just the paperwork, but the real-life planning that makes this transition sustainable: emotional prep, lifestyle design, community-building, and practical guidance every step of the way.
How do I know if I’m truly ready to move to Mexico?
If you're asking that question, you’re closer than you think. Start by exploring your vision: What kind of life do you want to build? What would make it feel grounded, legal, and aligned? That’s where I come in — I’ll help you turn that idea into a plan with real steps, realistic timelines, and clarity.
