While I don’t have any idea of the legal ramifications of an expat practicing dentistry in Yucatan (you will need a work visa, at the very least), I will say that within Merida there are several excellent dentists who provide excellent services for very reasonable (low) prices. It would be very difficult to charge “US-type” prices for dental work in Mexico. Many of these dentists were educated in the USA and practiced in the USA previously, but returned to their hometown of Merida. Mine went to UCLA.

The outlying cities and villages have much greater need of competent dentists, but the local people could only afford to pay very, very little. They may be living on as little as $100 per household per week and some of those are considered the lucky ones. Perhaps you could provide volunteer services as a charitable project?

Maybe not the answer you were looking for, but that’s the way I see it.

Bienvenidos! We suggest you read the YucatanYes.com and YucatanLiving.com websites thoroughly… that is a good start. You can also download the Immigration Guide at the YucatanYes.com website which will tell you everything you need to know (and a lot of things you probably do not…) about immigrating to Mexico. I know… I edited it. It is very thorough. Once you have read that, then call YES and they will help you through the process.

hello everyone, my wife and I are contemplating relocating to Merida in 3 yrs, we now live in southern CA. and I will be retiring in the next 3 yrs from my job (LAPD). So my question is, and this is to anyone living in Merida that can offer some info where would be the best area to buy a small home that is near shops,hosp. and restaurants, and still be a safe area to live for us. We are both mexican born american citizens..and have lived most of our lives in the U.S. so obviously are not up to date with mexican ways and mexican laws, we would also like to know the name of the forms needed to relocate to another country in this case Mexico. and fees and more importantly, the cost of moving to Merida…
