Bottom Line Up Front
The day’s verdict: Expat Latin America tipped from waiting to deciding on Friday — Mexico’s government made its first real offer to end the World Cup standoff, Peru sealed itself shut for Sunday’s vote, and Costa Rica quietly created the region’s newest path to legal work.
Mexico City — first concrete pension offer on the table. After five days and three failed rounds, the government proposed strengthening the state pension fund and scrapping the USICAMM career body; the union’s assemblies are voting now, with no new meeting scheduled.
Costa Rica — two-year residency with full work rights, from September 1. Cubans, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans and Colombians with pending or rejected asylum claims get a renewable legal status; fees start around US$105.
