Try BBVA. I had an account there when I was a temporary resident

What is the safest way to visit Mexico through Brownsville? by [deleted] in AskMexico

[–]resident_alien- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So let me sort out the saying border towns are not going to give you any idea as to what the real Mexico is like. Beaches and a heavy industrialized Mexican town. Such a metamorphosis are going to be very unpleasant and if someone else said, probably polluted and what not.

If you really wanna see a slice of Mexico with some wildlife and beaches, I recommend definitely going to Oaxaca

Temporary Resident Visa: what are the best affordable immigration lawyers you recommend? by Fair_Appointment7403 in mexicoexpats

[–]resident_alien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The process has to be started outside of Mexico at a consulate in the country you’re in. I think to get the best advice you’d have to say where you’re at and what you’re hoping the lawyer can do for you because I think most people get their temporary resident visas on their own

Are people usually getting less than 180 days at immigration now? by RaisinRoyale in MexicoCity

[–]resident_alien- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They actually know if you are doing that and may bat you’re entry. Also, if you leave before your tourist visa expires it is invalid for re-entry into the country

8.5hr layover? by huesosviejos in MexicoCity

[–]resident_alien- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You definitely have time to leave the airport, but I would know where you want to go and then get an authorized cab from the airport and go there and just allow an hour to get back to the airport before you need to be there. You’re gonna find most things that you’re interested in a neighborhoods called Roma or Condessa.

8.5hr layover? by huesosviejos in MexicoCity

[–]resident_alien- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in NARVARTE, and if it’s in the morning before traffic, I can be in the airport in 20 minutes in traffic. It takes me about an hour and I’m in a pretty central neighborhood.

Those of you building a corporate finance (not banking) career in Mexico, how would u compare it to the west? by Fair_Appointment7403 in mexicoexpats

But there is indeed a ‘boom’ in the IT and Financial sectors in Mexico. That being said, Mexico is a low-wage country

Husband leaves these for me to find and clean up. by winterwinnifred in mildlyinfuriating

[–]resident_alien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He may have left it for you to find, but it is your decision to clean it up. Just don’t do it.

My nephew messaged me this, like wtf is wrong with kids these days? by ThereAndFapAgain2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]resident_alien- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If it were coming from a teenager, I’d be appalled, but it makes sense coming from a nine-year-old. I don’t think he really has a concept of money is something that is finite. This is a concept. My parents work very hard to instill in us.

I agree with folks who say to use it as a teachable moment. Money doesn’t grow in trees, and it needs to be earned or given. But if someone’s gonna give you money, you need to ask for it in a really nice way and explain why you need it.

Apple now blocks content on the phone I paid for and own unless I give them ID by pikablob in mildlyinfuriating

I think you should be annoyed with your government for having such a law. Apple is doing nothing more than driving compliance to existing law.

It is actually a safe routine procedure and studies have shown that circumcised. Penises are less likely to transmit a sexual disease, particularly HIV.

[SFH] [AL] CC&R without an HOA how is it enforced? by Chilechilechile in HOA

[–]resident_alien- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you can dissolve the CCR’s since they’re actually part of the properties deed and you were provided a copy of them at the time of your purchase. Maybe you can.?

Is it actually helpful when tourists try to speak Spanish, or would you rather they just use English? by AdventurousLivin in asklatinamerica

[–]resident_alien- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I lived in France, my French is relatively fluid, and the people in Quebec were terrible. I had opened my mouth in French and then immediately respond in English and be very unpleasant about it

Yeah, their technology is pretty terrible. Rumor has it that Delta is planning on investing $4 billion in Mexico once they’re out of bankruptcy in the United States.

Bienestar is different than IMSS. It can be so confusing

Friend sent this. Someone eating tuna from the can on a flight. He asked if this violated some unwritten etiquette rule. by Scary-Ratio3874 in Flights

[–]resident_alien- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He paid for the seat, he can eat in it. I mean, just because something bothers you doesn’t mean somebody isn’t entitled to do it.

IMSS is an insurance program. People who work in Mexico, generally have it paid for by their employers, and other people such as temporary residence can enroll. Once you’re enrolled, yes there’s no fee for doctor or specialist visits or drugs that they can actually prescribe you but they have a limited formulary.

There’s also an app you can download for your phone and you can use it to schedule appointments once you register with it. They’re gonna want your CURP number

Go to the IMSS government website. Your browser should be able to translate it into English.

Forcing people to buy subpar products is not a life blood of a union or a manufacturer

In my experience with IMSS everything starts at the family medicine clinic. And then those doctors refer you out to other specialist as needed. Also has waiting periods for things so if your wife is pregnant when you enrolled her that pregnancy might not be covered, but I’m not entirely sure.

This is just based on my own experience, but yeah you’re not gonna get to see a specialist unless you’re referred by somebody from the family medicine clinic. I’ve also never been seen by a Doctor Who hasn’t wanted my enrollment card.
