An FM3 is just one method for staying in the county - canadian or from the USA or england or whatever. There are no real disadvatages to an FM3. Used to be that if you came down in a car on a regular FMT that they didnt log it into the computer so without an FM3 you could get multiple cars here. No ...

If you find yourself north in Bucerias, the view from Roga's is exceptional. Its right off the highway on the mountain side of the road. excellent seafood and has its own tequila celler with free samples. I like the seafood paella. If you venture further north to Litibu, there is a new mexican resta...

No problems with the water. Even north in la cruz and bucerias the water is pretty good. I drank the water from the tap for 2 years and never once had a problem. I do not recommend this however ! The water is purified as is the ice in most any professional restaurant. Som of my friends have had prob...

FM3 versus FM2 is not the issue - its the type of each you get thats important. You can get work privileges with both. Most people get and FM3 that is merely "rentista" which just gives permission to be here on a more extended basis than an FMT and can make it easier to purchase property. So if you ...

There are dishwashers here - they are more expensive. also depending on where you are building watch your water pressure -- city pressure can be quite low -- but your own compressor can be installed as well to maintain pressure - helps alot with wahsing machines as well. Also the water can be quite ...

Beware of appliances from Sams. I have had many problems with them. Walmart (oddly enough) has been fine. I bought two power generators that ended up being nothing put $600 paperweights. An LG mini-split that upon closer inspection was not an LG but just had the label and also self-destructed. A was...

I thought Pelicanos was in la Cruz de Huanacaxtle - unless there is another in vallarta. If so you will be about 30 minutes from vallarta. Locally in La Cruz there are 2 excellent restaurants. (1) La Cascada -- Amazing fall off the bone ribs, homemade cheesecake and peach cobbler, filet mignon, sea ...

An alternative lifestyles section is an excellent idea. A dedicated section lets the lesbigay community know that they are welcome to post and ask questions. When there is no section a person needs to worry about whether a gay post will be welcome or perhaps even rejected outright. There is even a r...

Palladium is way north of Nuevo Vallarta (mid way between la cruz and Punta de Mita). I have not heard anything about the Palladium one way or the other with regard to "gay friendly" or not. One consideration is that it is so far from Vallarta and the gay scene (over an hour's drive). The only gay e...

I guess I have a different opinion on the matter. I dont see why its needs to be difficult at all. You can run the business as a sole propriotor. To do so you need to get an FM3 with work privileges. Pay a good lawer to do the running and its not a big deal You can form a corp as well. This costs ab...
