How it works in Mexico
Immigration matters are handled by the INM. The key fork in the road: temporary residency almost always begins not in Mexico but at a consulate abroad r abroad — a visa is issued there, and entry follows with it. Inside the country it exchanged for a resident card, which is a separate procedure at the local INM office at your place of residence.
What we need from you to get started
- International passport and clarity on where you are right now — in Mexico or not yet
- Grounds: income, savings, employment, marriage, or study
- Proof of income or account balances for the past several months
- Birth and marriage certificates with apostille, if the family is relocating
Where things most often go wrong
- —You entered as a tourist expecting to change status in-country: on a tourist cards for temporary residence from within the country are not issued in the general case
- —Not exchanging the visa for a residency card (canje) immediately after entry — the window is short and is counted from the stamp date; miss it and the visa expires
- —Translation done by a regular translator rather than a perito traductor registered with the state court
- —Apostille placed on a copy, not on the original document
Unlike Georgia, where status is handled in a single window on the spot, in Mexico the order is reversed: first the consulate abroad, then the Mexican office. That is why the question ’are you already in the country?’ changes the entire plan.
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
