Frequently Asked Questions For Moving to San Miguel de Allende
Do I get charged a duty by the Mexican government for moving my household goods and furniture into Mexico?
Once you acquire a residency visa, you can obtain a Menaje de Casa—I can refer you to a source to assist you with this process—which then allows you to move down all your personal goods and furniture duty-free… if moved within the six months after obtaining your residency permits. However, if you’re only moving a small load with little furniture, most movers can “piggyback” your smaller load with another large load that might not have filled an 18-wheeler. Again, always check with a reputable moving company to confirm what options they feel might apply to your specific situation.
