It is possible. Just look at the popularity of the passport bro movement.

Now that’s a hot take to post în this subreddit

Mexico City. $700 USD for a large studio.

I enjoy when people ask me how I’m able to do it because then I can explain to them that I spend less per month being a digital nomad in Latin America than I would ON RENT ALONE back home.

When I landed at Cancun airport from Canada at the start of this month, I was able to use the automatic passport scanner to go through immigration. It gave me 180 days and I didn’t have to talk to anyone. I don’t remember what terminal I landed at though, not sure if that makes a difference.

Neither, hop on a flight to Mexico City instead

I don’t spend more than 5 days in a city.

I don’t know how you do that as a DN and don’t get burnt out.

Regardless, just contact the place you’re staying at 15 days from now and ask them if they are willing to receive and hold a package under your name until you arrive.

I’ve done it before no problem.

Yep, I did it during the pandemic. Explored Canada and the US this way.

Tello or US Mobile. $5 a month non-VoIP eSIM that can receive 2FA texts while abroad.

A lot of DNs in Cape Town

Why do people get such a hard-on claiming that Mexico is unsafe? They always go out of their way to say something about it and it’s always the ones who have never actually been to Mexico lol

Montreal & Quebec City are the closest you’ll get to 2) in Canada and the US and actually, also 1), comparatively.

Um, the cost, that’s why

Go for Tello or US Mobile instead and save yourself $10 a month

If you’re looking to have data + an actual phone number (VoIP though so no 2FA) with calls and texts included in the countries you’re in, then Fonus Mobile is what you’re looking for.

P.S. Avoid Airalo even if all you need is data, waste of money. Plenty of other data eSIM providers out there that offer much better value for your money.

US Mobile or Tello are your solution if all you need is 2FA SMS codes. Both are eSIMs that are real phone numbers (no VoIP) and only $5 a month with unlimited incoming texts. Tello only works on WiFi/data while outside the US, but US Mobile includes roaming AFAIK.
