Hi all,

I did a search for Zihua, but nothing came up so my apologies if there is already a thread buried someplace on this.

I would like to find a job in Zihua, yes I know it is very small. Does anyone have any contacts for schools in Zihua?

I know there are schools there because I vacation there once a year.

Not much on the interweb about jobs there though..so I am hoping someone here might know something.

Thanks!

Jon

It sounds like you may well have more experience with this locale than most of us on this forum. Are you planning to vacation there again in the near future? If so, your best bet would be to investigate personally next time you go. Most jobs in Latin America are found by simply showing up, knocking on doors, and distributing your resume in person. Obviously, if you know who some of the major players are before you go, that makes it easier to contact prospective employers once you arrive. But in the case of a small town, that simply may not be possible.

Good luck! And keep us posted on how things go.

Note, however, that the immigration process has changed. One used to be able to arrive in Mexico on a tourist visa, get a job offer, and then change from a tourist card to a resident visa with work permission.

Now you have to apply for a resident visa at a Mexican consulate outside Mexico, then enter Mexico and finalize the visa within 30 days. So the sequence of events could be: visit Mexico, find a job, leave the country and apply for visa, return to Mexico and finalize visa.

The only exception to applying outside of Mexico is if you are sponsored by a family member who is a resident or national of Mexico, living in Mexico.

Nice little place though and beautiful beaches nearby, great fishing too Smile

Good luck on the job front, there might be some schools over in Ixtapa too.

Thanks for sharing this, notamiss! Immigration policies and residence visas are probably the one significant variable from one country to the next in Latin America that one must keep in mind.
