We invited Mariana (Mari) from MaxLife Yucatan onto the show — and if you're thinking about moving to Mexico, this episode might be the most useful 35 minutes you spend this week.

Mari is a Mérida-born immigration lawyer who has spent 6+ years guiding expats through Mexico's residency process. She's seen it all: people who show up to immigration with one day to spare, couples who accidentally let their residency expire because the date format is flipped, and buyers who didn't realize they had zero representation in their property deal.

We cover it all — the consulate-to-canje process, what obligations you have as a resident (most people have no idea), the real estate landscape in Yucatán, and who actually thrives in Mexico long-term.

Funny, practical, and a little humbling. This one's worth saving.
