Happy to help anyone with any moving or housing questions about Playa or Mexico in general, I went to school there and speak Spanish, I just don't know what I need to setup in advance to play online.
If you don't have a Stars/Party/888 account setup outside of the US it will definitely take some time to get everything verified. Probably around 2-4 weeks to complete verification process. If you are staying in an AirBNB just send them a copy of the receipt that is emailed to you and they accept that as proof of residency.
But MOST IMPORTANTLY, every American bank does NOT allow online gambling transactions. I'd highly recommend setting up a bank account in Mexico the first day you arrive. Any American based credit/debit card will be declined on any transaction you make on any poker site. I cannot stress this enough that an international bank account be setup first. I'd recommend getting an account with BBVA Bancomer, HSBC or Santander.
