Directory, not a guide

Local Vendors

Named providers, grouped by when you'd need them. This section is in progress — names are being vetted before they go live.

Planning your travel

Things that start before you even land — arranging a move remotely, or getting paperwork moving in advance.

Realtors & housing helpPeople finding a place to live start this before arrival — cross-linked from Move to CDMX.
Legal, notary & immigration helpNamed lawyers and notaries — Move to CDMX explains the process, this page says who does it.

Support on your vacation

For anyone here short-term, visitor or not — needs that come up mid-trip, not planned in advance.

English-speaking doctors, dentists & specialistsNamed providers — whether you're here for a week or a year.
Regular drivers & car servicesFor people who want a known driver for a few days, not just app-hailing every time.

For the extended stay

Ongoing needs that only come up once you're living here, not just visiting.

Movers & storageFor people relocating, not just visiting.
Water & home filtrationBottled water gets expensive and wasteful fast for anyone staying more than a couple of weeks. A few install services, including Water Filters CDMX (my own company), handle this without a long contract.
Home cleaningRecurring service, not a one-off.
Handyman & home repairWho to call when something breaks.
Pet care & import helpVets, sitters, and the paperwork for bringing a pet into Mexico.
Spanish tutors & language exchangeOne-on-one and group options, for people building this into a routine rather than cramming before a trip.

In the meantime, these cover some of the same ground
