What do I need to know before retiring in Lake Chapala?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Lake Chapala, they said...

"Don't let the media scare you away. If you are not involved in the drug business, you most likely will not be in trouble. There is a presence of police and military here, but we're also hosting the Pan Am games this year," remarked another expat who made the move to Lake Chapala, Mexico.

"Before retiring in Lake Chapala, expats should understand the local culture, including language and customs. They should also research what medical facilities, banks and other services are available, and look into immigration matters to ensure that they have the appropriate documents. It is also important to make sure that their possessions are secure and learn how to handle any emergency situation. Additionally, it may be a good idea to budget for the cost of living in the area, as well as build a network of contacts in the community," explained one expat living in Lake Chapala, Mexico.
