Tips and Advice on Mexico from Your Fellow South African Expats

Obviously, expat life in Mexico goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow South Africans is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Mexican mentality and way of life. South Africans in Mexico are a part of our community, calling cities such as Guadalajara, Monterrey, Mexico City, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow South Africans in Mexico City, for example.

Wondering where to shop for South African delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Mexican InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from South Africa.
  • On the Mexico Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get bobotie in Mexico City, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Mexico has information on the nearest South African embassy and many other institutions.
