In this episode, Vance from My Latin Life sits down with libertarian host Mark Edge to break down how straightforward it is to get Mexican residency—and why it stands out as one of the strongest Plan B options available right now. 

They cover temporary vs. permanent residency, costs, income requirements, and the big advantage that Mexican permanent residency requires zero physical presence to maintain. Vance also shares what his clients are exploring in Panama, Paraguay, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and why the Southern Cone is looking especially interesting for building a residency and passport portfolio. 

Practical, no-fluff talk for anyone serious about geographic freedom and having options outside the system. Use code MARKEDGE at MyLatinLife.com for a discount on residency services.

Jethro shares practical insights on self-custody, the real opportunities (and challenges) of living in El Salvador, regenerative projects, AI + tech growth, and why more people are choosing sovereignty over the old system.

Born in Scotland and raised in West Africa, he has lived abroad since the mid-1980s and has made his home in twelve countries across Africa, Europe, North America, Central America, and the Indian Ocean.
