Start looking in your local newspaper! Place an add in the local newspaper with your qualifications! Improvise!....make up your own business, like mowing lawns. Call around! and ask friends for work! Keep searching! don't give up. P.S. - If there is no work down in Mexico you could always hop over here! Everyone does it!

Since most of the people in this forum don't live in Mexico; much less Veracruz...it's kind of hard to give suggestions. Isn't it somewhat of a tourist area? Think of things to do for the visitors: you could be a tour guide for shoppers by helping them to find certain things or types of stores. Maybe you could charge a nominal fee to people to take them on local tours...$5.00 or $10.00 per hour or whatever rate the economy and demand will bring.

I'm not familiar with Veracruz, but if there are any tourists in your area I may have an idea. I know I would love some authentic homecooked mexican food so if you were to set up like a roadside stand or a small booth (a table, really) in town you may find you have all sorts of customers. Take care!

Sounds ike you are not a Mexican citizen...which means you need an FM3 visa with a work permit. You can only get one of those if you find an employer who will write a letter to immigration stating he is hiring you for a job he cannot find a mexican citizen for...and he sponsors your work permit. Unless you can find a foreign employer or you have a very special work skill, getting a work permit is nearly impossible. if you have enough money to start your own small business you could do that. If you could make contact with other foreigners living in Veracruz, they may have ideas.

Charlie like usual gave another good answer to a commonly asked question. Is your wife mexican? If you live in Mexico long enough, you can be eligible for permanent residency or even mexican citizenship. New laws enable you to keep your birthright citizenship so you could become a dual citizen just like me. Permanent residency is the second best thing to being an actual citizen. You can get any job you feel like without the FM3 visa, the requirements to keeping the residency status are very reasonable and you can always choose to get full citizenship whenever you want. The only thing you won't be able to do is vote, only as a naturalized citizen will you be able to do that. Ask local authorities in Veracruz what are the requirements, if you have been married long enough, you could be eligible today. Getting permanent residency will be far easier than getting the FM3 visa. I do highly suggest that if you don't speak spanish now, that you learn the language. You need to be decently fluent to get citizenship. If you have the money, you could open your own business with your wife as the official owner. However, Mexico is famous for it's endless tramitations to legally create a new business, it's crazy. What kind of business could work? If you live in a village, think what common usage stores aren't available yet. Are there tienditas? Bread stores? Tortillas stores? Comida corrida stores? You'd probably need at least 5000 dollars to open your own business so it's a very risky proposal.
