One of the most rewarding parts of our work is helping foreign nationals who once worked in Mexico recover the money that rightfully belongs to them.
At Vega, Guerrero & Asociados, we’ve successfully represented dozens of foreigners—both those who already left Mexico and those about to leave—who trusted us to help recover their AFORE and Infonavit funds.
Today, we want to share a few real stories that prove this process is possible, even from abroad.
“I had no idea I had money there” — Mark, Canadian citizen
Mark worked for three years at an automotive company in Querétaro. When he returned to Canada, he had no idea that both he and his employer had contributed to an AFORE account on his behalf.
After contacting us through a referral, we found out he had over 450,000 Mexican pesos saved across retirement and housing accounts. We started the process, and in less than 9 months, Mark had the funds deposited directly into his Canadian bank account.
“I thought I lost that money when I left Mexico” — Claire, French citizen
Claire worked in the food industry in Monterrey but never used her Infonavit housing credit. She believed that, since she no longer lived in Mexico, she had forfeited any right to those funds.
We advised her legally and successfully recovered her housing subaccount, including all earned interest. Claire no longer had a Mexican bank account, but we were still able to enforce the court ruling and transfer her funds to France.
“Everything was clear, professional—and done from Japan” — Hiroshi, Japanese citizen
Hiroshi lived in Mexico from 2015 to 2018. From Tokyo, he sought legal guidance to check if he had any savings in Mexico’s social security system.
With his CURP and a few basic documents, we confirmed he had an active AFORE account. He never had to travel or sign anything in person—everything was handled legally from Mexico, and he recovered his money with ease.
Could you also have forgotten funds in Mexico?
If you worked formally in Mexico and were registered with the IMSS, there’s a strong chance you have an AFORE account with accumulated funds that you can legally reclaim.
It doesn’t matter if you no longer live in the country, we can help you safely, clearly, and with no upfront cost.
