Frequently Asked Questions About Relocating to Mexico
What does My Deztination actually do?
My Deztination is a full-service Mexico relocation concierge founded by Dez, a long-term Mexico City resident. We guide Americans and Canadians through every stage of relocating to Mexico — from choosing the right city and navigating residency requirements, to finding housing, setting up banking, enrolling children in schools, and coordinating pet relocation. We serve as the single point of leadership throughout your entire move.
Who is Dez?
Dez is the founder of My Deztination and one of the most trusted Mexico relocation experts online. She has lived in Mexico for many years and built My Deztination after a viral YouTube video about her $300 Mexico City apartment sparked thousands of enquiries from Americans and Canadians wanting to make the same move. She is known for honest, practical advice that reflects how relocation actually works — not how it looks in a brochure.
Which cities in Mexico do you cover?
My Deztination covers more than 20 destination cities across Mexico, including Puerto Vallarta, Mexico City, Mérida, Lake Chapala, Ajijic, San Miguel de Allende, Querétaro, Mazatlán, Oaxaca, Guadalajara, La Paz, Cabo San Lucas, and more. If you're unsure which city suits your lifestyle and budget, our free Mexico Match Quiz can help.
Do I need to know which city I want before booking?
No. Many clients come to My Deztination before they've decided on a destination. Our Mexico Match Quiz, VIP scouting tours, and consultation services are specifically designed to help you make that decision with confidence.
What is the difference between the relocation packages?
The Essentials Experience is designed for movers with a destination in mind who want expert on-the-ground support. The Ultimate Experience adds housing search, airport pickup, and full residency guidance. The VIP Experience is My Deztination's highest-touch offering — Dez and the team manage the entire relocation from pre-move planning through post-arrival integration, serving as your single point of leadership throughout.
Can I help with residency if I'm moving with my family?
Yes. My Deztination provides residency guidance for individuals, couples, and families, including coordination for dependents under the primary applicant framework used by Mexican immigration authorities. We work with trusted licensed immigration attorneys as part of our service.
What if I'm not ready to move yet?
All My Deztination relocation packages and services are valid indefinitely. You can book now and begin when you're ready — there's no expiry pressure. If you're still in the research phase, the free relocation checklist and Mexico Match Quiz are the best places to start.
