Buying Real Estate in Mexico for Expats: The SRE Permit

_{Article by Jeff Kimmel, Kimmel Realty Group}

You can buy property anywhere in Mexico (excluding the Restricted Zones) even if your immigration status is that of a tourist. Regardless of your immigration status, all expats must obtain a SRE permit issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before the property’s deed can be put in your name.

When an offer is made and accepted, applying for your SRE permit is one of the first things that you will need to do.

Your attorney or your agent can seek the permit for you, but the application will require your signature.

The SRE permit words are actually written into the deed. The reason for this is that you as a foreign buyer of property must agree to be treated the same as a Mexican citizen with respect to your ownership of the property.

In doing this (related only to your ownership of the property you are buying), you agree not to invoke the protection of your government (e.g. USA or Canada) with regard to the property and your ownership of the property.

If you breach this agreement, you can lose your ownership rights to the property in favor of the Mexican government.
