Originally from canada. Expat in mexico.
Default Working Visa for Mexico, and job situation

Hi everyone,

Since the response was so helpful with my last question I thought I'd try again! I'm coming to Mexico (Puebla) soonish from Canada to join my boyfriend. He had no problem as he had a job offer; however, I would be looking for work once I'm already there. The Mexican consulate webpage was a bit ambiguous on whether I would need a work visa prior to entering, or if I could come in as a tourist, find a job while there and then apply for one...

I am qualified to teach English, but would rather not; therefore I'd prefer try and find a job there in something else, but don't want to arrive and discover it's impossible without the visa, etc.

Can anyone help me with this. I assume it's a similar situation for Canadians and Americans under NAFTA.

Thanks,
Caitlin
