Why Work With an Immigration Lawyer in Mexico?

Navigating Mexican immigration laws can be tricky. The rules change, the paperwork can be confusing, and mistakes can cause delays—or even rejection. That’s why working with a Mexican immigration lawyer is the best way to ensure a smooth process. They handle everything from visas to citizenship applications and make sure you’re in full compliance with the law.


We only work with verified, experienced immigration attorneys in Mexico who know the system inside and out. So, whether you're applying for a temporary resident visa, permanent residency, or Mexican citizenship, you’ll have expert guidance every step of the way.


Your Immigration Options in Mexico

1. Tourist Visa (FMM - Forma Migratoria Múltiple)

Most visitors enter Mexico with an FMM (also called a tourist permit), which allows you to stay for up to 180 days. However, this isn’t a residency status—it’s just a temporary permit. If you plan to stay longer, you need a residency visa.


2. Temporary Resident Visa (Residente Temporal)

If you plan to stay in Mexico for more than 180 days but less than four years, this is the visa for you. It’s ideal for retirees, remote workers, students, and business owners. After four years, you can apply for permanent residency. Requirements typically include proof of financial stability or ties to Mexico, such as employment or property ownership.


3. Permanent Resident Visa (Residente Permanente)

Thinking of making Mexico your forever home? A permanent resident visa allows you to live in Mexico indefinitely. You don’t need to renew it, and you even get benefits like being able to work without additional permits. This is a great option if you’re retiring in Mexico or have lived here for several years as a temporary resident.


4. Mexican Citizenship

Want to take the next step and become a Mexican citizen? After five years of residency, you can apply for citizenship, which grants you a Mexican passport and full legal rights. If you're married to a Mexican citizen, you might qualify in just two years.
