Interest in purchasing or refinancing a residential property in Mexico
In Mexico, if a property is located in the restricted zone, a non-resident foreign national has to own their property through a Bank Trust or Fideicomiso. The restricted zone is any land located within 50km (about 30 miles) from the coastline or 100km (about 62 miles) of any of Mexico’s international borders. Property that is financed is held in a Guaranty Bank Trust.
