Puerto Vallarta Long Stay from Canada

Mexico’s snowbird capital — winter on Banderas Bay, flights + condo in one CAD price.

Puerto Vallarta Long Stay from Canada

Puerto Vallarta is the snowbird capital of Mexico for Canadians — a genuine, walkable town on the golden sand of Banderas Bay, with a huge choice of condos and resorts, a warm expat community, wonderful food and easy direct flights from home. Add a tourist permit that allows a long stay and it’s the natural place to spend the winter. Fond Travels, an IATA-accredited Calgary travel agency, pairs your flights with the right condo or resort and books it all in one call, in Canadian Dollars, with our best unpublished long-stay rates by phone.

Call our specialists at +1 (587) 287 1191 and we’ll build your Vallarta winter around your dates and budget — a month in the Old Town or a whole season on the bay, 8 AM–9 PM, 7 days.

Best bases for a Puerto Vallarta long stay

  • Zona Romántica (Old Town) — cobblestone streets, cafes and the most walkable base.
  • Hotel Zone & Marina — modern condos, services and an easy airport hop.
  • Nuevo Vallarta & Bucerías — quieter, resort-lined stretches just north on the bay.
  • Day trips — Yelapa, the Marietas Islands, whale watching and jungle tours.

Know before you go

  • Length of stay: visa-free tourist permit (FMM), historically up to 180 days — days now set by the officer, so ask for the full period.
  • Best season: November to April for warm, dry, sunny snowbird weather.
  • Getting there: direct flights to Puerto Vallarta (PVR) from many Canadian cities.
  • Insurance: a long-stay travel medical plan that covers your full trip.

Puerto Vallarta long stay — FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Puerto Vallarta (PVR) has direct flights from Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton and Winnipeg, especially through the winter season, on Air Canada, WestJet and Sunwing. We book the best flight from your gateway as part of your long-stay package — call +1 (587) 287 1191.

Canadians travel to Mexico visa-free and are issued a tourist permit (FMM) on entry; historically this allowed a stay of up to 180 days, though the exact number of days is now set by the immigration officer at arrival, so ask for the full period you need and keep the permit. That flexibility is why Puerto Vallarta is Canada’s favourite Mexican snowbird base. Confirm current rules before you travel.

It combines a real, walkable Mexican town — the Malecón and the cobblestone Zona Romántica — with a huge choice of condos and resorts on Banderas Bay, a big, friendly expat community, great food and easy direct flights. It is warm, safe-feeling and set up for long winter stays.

The Zona Romántica (Old Town) for walkable charm, the Hotel Zone and Marina for modern condos and services, or quieter Nuevo Vallarta and Bucerías just north on the bay. We match the area and condo or resort to your budget and how you like to live.

A condo with a kitchen gives you independence and the best monthly value for a long winter, while a long-stay all-inclusive keeps meals and everything simple. Many snowbirds mix the two. Call +1 (587) 287 1191 and we’ll find the right fit.
