Hi

I have some questions I would be very greatful if some of you could help me.

I currently live in London but I am in love with Mexico and the culture, I have many friends there and would love to live there for some time.

I work for a company based in London doing online marketing.

My question is.

If I wanted to move to live in Mexico, but still work for this company, how could I do that?

I mean would it be easy for the company to still pay me etc? What about taxes etc? Would it be easy for me to get a visa to move to Mexico this way?

All I need to do my work is access to a laptop, so I would love to be in Mexico while also doing my work but I am not sure of how easy that would be?

Any advice and help from you guys would mean a lot.

Many thanks!

You get a 6 month tourist visa on arrival. If you will continue to work for a UK company, there is no reason to pay Mexican taxes. When you go through immigration, just say you are visiting. When your six months is up, cross the border and when you come back you will get another visa! Yes it is that easy.
Your company can keep paying you with direct deposits and you can use your ATM card to get money here.

Hope that helps.
