A few years ago in Mexico City, I had to present my FM3 in order to be able to open an account at Santander. I don't know if this is still the case.Can one open a Mexico bank account as a tourist?
Really? I thought you needed a resident type Visa. All I would have is a tourist visa (max I think is 90 days). Which bank and what documentation? Remember, I would have no permanent address there.Yes.......and buy property ......
Why would you expect them to do that? If you run into a particular branch, with a fluent English speaker, count yourself as fortunate but be prepared for that person to be promoted and transferred, leaving you with the need for Spanish again. Yes, you will find such service in some places, where expats abound, but not everywhere. The official language of Mexico is Spanish. The USA does not have an official language. Surprised?What bank in Mexico provides investment advice in English for mutual funds? By telephone?
And that seems to be true in many countries, not just Mexico.We had really good support from Bancomer Preferred Client Unit for a couple of years. But it has eroded substantially over the last 3 years. Like RVGRINGO says, get with the program.
And if you want good advice on investing in mutual funds, it is to avoid them.
