|
|
I've been 30 years in tertiary education and considering Mexico as my next location. Are there any age limitations or restrictions in acquiring a work permit or in signing up for national health insurance?
Thank you. |

Yes, in signing up for the national health service. And in some places that will be a job requirement. In other places you can work as a contractor and then it is not an issue.
The national health services has deteriorated tremendously in the last 6 years, I used to recommend it and used it a lot myself. That is no longer true. |

What, then, is the age limit on national health insurance? 60? 65? 70? |

60.
I've had a lot of trouble replying lately is continually says invalid session. So if anyone is wondering why their post has views but no replies I image most people give up after three tries. |

As I understand, enrollment in Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) is a condition of legal employment. Does that mean no one past 60 is ever offered employment? |

Like everything is Mexico, it's not black and white.
If you are over 60 but have previously been enrolled in IMSS, you can get a new job.
It is not a requirement if you agree to be paid via the "reciebo de honorarios" system, which would be the USA equivalent of being a contractor rather than an employee.
and Finally, not all employment in Mexico is entirely legal, there are degrees of legality. |

I've seen this used as an excuse among schools quite often to not hire people over 60... |
