My name is Gene and I have plans to move to Mexico. From the research I have done so far, Lake Chapala looks like a good place to stay. If someone would be so kind, I have a need for quite a bit of information. I know that most of it could probably be found somewhere on the ExpatForum, but I thought it would be easier to get it all in one place. Thank you for any information you might be able to give on;
1)Best route to take from Alabama to Lake Chapala.
2)Best place to cross the border.
3)Nearest consulate for FM3 visa(I meet requirements)
4)Process for driving into and out of Mexico, is there a limit.
5)Should I sell the car and buy one in Mexico.
6)Reasonable place to stay while I look for something long term.
7)Best place to look for long term rental. Not in the high rent district nor the corn shed.
8)I'm a single 35 year old man trapped in a 60 year old body. Are the social events geared more toward couples or are there opportunities for singles to meet other singles. Some one for the inner man or possibly for the outer man.
That's probably enough for now. Any additional information you think will be helpful would be appreciated.
