I'm down in Mexico set up on stars and i'm looking to access my Merge money, so the steps would look like this. Get merge account changed to Mexico address, cashout from merge to skrill, transfer from skrill to mexico bank account, withdraw from bank account?
Yes.

I read in boliver's gdoc that Santander has a deposit limit of 5k a month, can anyone confirm this? Would this be the easiest bank for this?
I use Santander and have been very happy with their service. You can certainly cashout more than 5k per month via moneybookers. I am unaware of deposit limits at all but could see them limiting cash deposits to 5k per month to combat money laundering.
Santander and Bancomer seem to be the most widely used banks by poker players and people seem to have positive experiences with both. I know some Bancomer Preferred Client offices have English speaking employees which could make the process easier for you.

Also if I just have my bank account set up in peso's is that an issue? I can transfer from skrill usd, and withdraw from mexi bank in peso's and convert them somewhere?
Not an Issue. If you are near the border you should look into getting a usd account. If your plan is to just cashout and convert to dollars and go back to the US just send the money in a bank wire to your US bank. Your bank will most likely give you a better exchange rate and depending on the size of the transfer you will prob end up saving enough to cover the cost of the wire. If you are living in Mexico, keep enough pesos to live and send the rest back the US.

Also if anyone has any in site on the time frame this would take and could let me know that would be wonderful as well as any other info about this.
Once everything is set up and if Merge is processing your MB cashout quickly you can generally get money from poker sites to your Mexican bank acount within a 24 hour working period. It all depends on how long the verificaiton process takes you which can vary a little bit. On average I would estimate if you start today setting up all of your accounts and getting them verified you could have cash in your hand in about 2 weeks.
