Hi Jenny, did you read the information posted above, lots of your questions are answered there. For the ones that aren't answered above, since you're planning on marrying your boyfriend you should start off on the right foot and give your husband to be a proverbial kick up the backside Tell him to get his ass down to the Registry Civil by Parque Las Palapas and find out the information you both need. 5) You can stay in Mexico for up to 6 months as a tourist before having to think about the next stage. You wont be allowed to work though if you're here as a tourist. 6) If you want to work then you'll need to get an FM3 before you start any job. Sometimes employers will help you do this, sometimes they wont. I'll warn you it can lead to a catch 22 situation - you cant get an FM3 because you dont have a job to go to and you cant get a job because you dont have an FM3. No, you don't *need* any Spanish but it certainly does help, and not knowing Spanish will limit the number of jobs you are qualified for by quite some way. Have you researched what kind of work might be available and how much the pay is? It's not all sweetness and light, I'm afraid.
