Planning systems and printable versions
Use these when you want the topic connected to the wider move plan or a printable execution layer.
What makes these different
They’re built like operations manuals, not ebooks that drift around the point.
Every guide is official-source-first, practical, printable, and deliberately structured around real execution. Not dreamy relocation content. Not vague “what to expect” fluff. The useful stuff.
Official rules first
Every guide is grounded in the government sources behind the process: SRE and INM for residency, SAT and IMSS for admin setup, ANAM, SAT/Aduanas, Banjercito, and SENASICA for logistics.
Real sequencing second
The value isn’t just “here are the documents.” It’s “here’s the order so you stop getting bounced between systems.” That distinction matters more than people expect.
Built to be printable
These guides are designed to feel like field manuals you can carry into the process, not endless screens you keep re-reading at 11pm.
The ecosystem
Each guide owns a different stage of the move.
You can absolutely buy one guide if one stage is your real blocker. But if you’re planning the whole move, the overlap between stages is exactly why the bundle exists.
| Guide | What it solves | Current stack | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mexico Residency Playbook | Residency path, consulate prep, solvency, canje, and the jump from approval to resident card. | 34 pages. | Anyone who needs the legal-stay process untangled before they can move confidently. |
| First 90 Days Admin Setup Kit | CURP, RFC, e.firma, CSF, banking, NSS, and IMSS in the right order. | 23 pages. | New residents who want the first-three-month admin chain made painfully clear — in a good way. |
| Move Logistics Guide | Menaje de casa, vehicle import permits, pets, and move-day paperwork windows. | 26 pages. | People moving household goods, driving in, crossing with pets, or doing all three at once. |
| Mexico Expat Bundle | All three guides in one sequence, so the stages stop competing for your attention. | 83 pages across the current full bundle. | Serious movers who want the whole system instead of one isolated slice. |
Why the bundle comes first
Because the move doesn’t happen in neat little silos, even when websites try to pretend it does.
Residency affects your first 30 days. Your first 30 days affect tax setup and banking. Logistics can create deadlines before or after arrival. Healthcare and city choice shape what “ready” even means. The bundle is the default offer because that’s how real moves behave. Messy at the edges. Interconnected underneath.
If you’re planning a full move, start here
The bundle is for people who don’t just need one answer — they need the whole move to stop feeling fragmented. That’s the difference. One guide solves one stage. The bundle gives the stages context.
What the bundle prevents
- Buying only residency help, then realizing the admin setup is the next bottleneck.
- Planning logistics without understanding how status and arrival timing affect the rest of the move.
- Repeating the same research loop in three different topic areas because nobody laid out the full path cleanly the first time.
Still not sure? Use this rule of thumb
- If you haven’t finished the consulate stage yet, the Residency Playbook is the obvious entry point.
- If you’re already in Mexico or landing soon, the Admin Setup Kit becomes urgent very quickly.
- If your move includes a car, pets, or household goods, the Logistics Guide deserves way more attention than most people give it.
- If you’re doing the whole move, just get the bundle and stop piecing together a system from fragments.
Choose by blocker
If one part of the move is the thing that’s keeping you stuck, start there.
This is the other honest answer. Sometimes you don’t need everything today. Sometimes you just need the one module that lets you keep moving.
