Emigrating to Mexico

The United Mexican States, often simply called Mexico, is a federal presidential republic consisting of 32 states. For people wishing to emigrate to Mexico, the country offers a stable legal basis, as the 1917 constitution guarantees modern fundamental rights and a democratic constitutional state.

Mexico's political system is diverse: the parliament consists of two chambers - the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies - in which seven parties are currently represented. Despite political pressure on the independence of the judiciary and other control mechanisms, the constitutional requirements continue to be observed. This legal stability can be an important factor for people planning to emigrate to Mexico, whether for professional reasons, for retirement in a diverse country or for new life prospects.

With its rich culture, diverse landscapes and strong legal framework, Mexico remains an attractive option for emigrants from all over the world.

Mexico has an impressive and efficient healthcare system that includes both public and private health insurance. For people emigrating to Mexico, participation in public health insurance is mandatory if they are employed there. The contributions are paid proportionally by the salary, the employer and the state. This system provides a solid foundation for expats who are making a new start in Mexico.

Most Mexican hospitals are excellently equipped and have well-trained doctors, many of whom speak English. However, English-speaking nursing staff are not always available, which should be taken into account when planning for those emigrating to Mexico.

Mexico has achieved universal healthcare, which makes the country particularly attractive to expats. At the same time, the private healthcare sector is growing rapidly, driven by rising incomes, growing medical tourism and access to quality healthcare services. For expats who value personalized care, the private healthcare system is an excellent alternative. This dual healthcare system offers flexibility and security for people who want to find a new home in Mexico.

Día de Muertos, the Day of the Dead, is not a Mexican version of Halloween. Although the two celebrations are related, they differ greatly in their traditions and atmosphere. Halloween is traditionally seen as a dark night of terror and doom, while Día de los Muertos spans three days and is characterized by an explosion of color and life-affirming joy. Although the theme of death is present, Día de Muertos is about showing love and respect for deceased family members. In villages and towns across Mexico, celebrants wear colorful costumes and makeup, hold parades and parties, sing, dance and make offerings to the deceased loved ones.
