Only if a person is interested in getting mexican citizen ship then for a period of five years or two years the person is only aloud to be no longer than 4 months a year out of Mexico.
An the only way to lose a permanent resident is if a person getts a tourist visa to enter to Mexico, So the person must always enter as a residente permanente, because if a residente permanente getts a tourist visa automatically the residente permanente is cancel, why?
Because the immigration law in Mexico do not allow a foreigner to have to immigration documents.
About the income since the immigration department of Mexico was created until today there is always to prove income in order to get a permit to stay in Mexico more than 180 days.

Yes, you can buy good clothes in Portugal.
I’m tall, so when I first came to Portugal many years ago, I couldn’t find anything to fit me, so I ended up having to go to a dressmaker. Now you don’t need to do that at all because you can get practically everything like you can get in the States or in England. And now that the Chinese are doing business here in Portugal, there are massive, great department stores as well.

And so if you want “cheap and cheerful” you’ve got “cheap and cheerful.” If you want to spend a lot, there are plenty of places to do that. Clothes are easy to get here. Shoes are easy. In fact, Portugal has become the second country next to Italy to produce the best shoes.

Will Nicaragua make me pay income tax on money I earn outside of Nicaragua?
Mario Robleto - SAENICSA Accounting and Tax Services
One of the beautiful things about Nicaragua is that it is nothing like the US relative to having to pay taxes on money you earned outside of the country.
If you live in Nicaragua but your income is earned outside of Nicaragua, let's say from your business on the internet or something similar, and the person who pays you is outside of Nicaragua, you should file and you should have a company and work under that company and report that income but, that income is not taxed by...

What's the language most often spoken in Corozal? Can I get by if I just speak English?
Tony and Beth McClure
You can absolutely get by just speaking English in Corozal. English is the official language of Belize. We have met tour guides all over other countries in the Caribbean whose parents sent them to school in Belize so that they could learn English. It’s a pretty common practice.
Given that English is the official language of Belize, all your documents are in English, all your menus are in English, and everyone speaks English. The locals may speak...

Given that English is the official language of Belize, all your documents are in English, all your menus are in English, and everyone speaks English. The locals may speak Creole or Spanish to each other, but they can speak English and you can communicate quite well if you have no understanding of Spanish whatsoever. The only caution that I would point out is if you do go across the border to Guatemala and you’re not fluent in Spanish, you’re going to have some problems. You need to probably take an interpreter with you if you can’t speak Spanish. Once you cross that border from Belize into Guatemala, English just goes away.

The best place to retire depends on the person, and what they’re looking for. In order to do this, you need to establish the reason you’re moving before you pick a place. The best place for another person may not be the best place for you. You need to get clarity on why you’re moving, what you want to accomplish, and what you want your daily life to be like.

The best place for another person may not be the best place for you. You need to get clarity on why you’re moving, what you want to accomplish, and what you want your daily life to be like.
Write out your ideal day. When you wake up, who do you see around you? What do you see around you? Is it mountains? Is it a beach? Is it farmland? A valley? Skyscrapers? Then, go from there. What do you eat for breakfast? Would you want some tropical fruit? That tropical fruit could be falling off the trees in Nicaragua, where there could be mangoes in the road, pineapples and watermelons growing on the side of the road. Or, perhaps you would prefer a baguette and an espresso. There are no espresso machines in a lot of places in Nicaragua and Ecuador, for example, unless you have it at your house. There’s no cappuccino.

What would you like to do in your normal day? This is something that, otherwise, we don’t generally get to choose. All the way from being a five year old in kindergarten through school and then work, most of us don’t get to define our day. What would you do if you could do whatever you wanted? Would you like to go whitewater rafting, would you like to go hiking, would you want to sit at a café in a city and sip your coffee and read a book? What is your ideal day? Maybe you don’t want to see any people. Maybe you want to live on the top of a mountain only surrounded by nature.
Once you have a clear idea of what your day would be like, then move to the finances. How much money do you have to live on each month? Most of us aren’t going to be living in a chateau in Switzerland, which is one of the most expensive countries in the world. Of course, the more you have to live on each month, the more flexibility you’ll have in choosing your best place to live.
After you’ve defined what you want your typical day to be like and you’ve come to terms with your budget, you need to do your research. This is the point where it’s really good to have someone to help you, even for an hour or so to get a real perspective from someone who’s worked in the place you’re considering or lived there.

Jet Metier has noticed there are three things you can do after reading a person’s reason for moving to Panama. You can 1) learn from them; 2) laugh with them; or 3) interview them to learn and laugh some more with them.

Unlike the Panama Canal, Casco Viejo, the Amador Causeway, and Panama Viejo, the name Juan Diaz does not attract much attention from visitors to Panama City. Yet the township of Juan Diaz has become equally important to the Republic of Panama, economically, commercially, and educationally.
The origins of this region go back to the days of Spanish colonization. It is believed that Juan Diaz was a Spanish soldier who settled in this same area. In the year 1875 one of...
