Residence Permit, Permanent Residency and Citizenship in Mexico/strong>
Mexico is one of the most accessible and straightforward routes to residency in Latin America.
It is the 15th largest economy in the world, an active party to international trade agreements, and a country with a developed infrastructure for life, business and remote work.
A Mexican residence permit (temporary residence, Residencia Temporal) grants the right to legally live, work, study and run a business in the country. You gain access to the banking system, healthcare and government services.
Eligibility can be confirmed in several ways: through income, savings, real estate investment or the birth of a child on Mexican territory.
Permanent residency in Mexico (Residencia Permanente) becomes available in 2 to 4 years, depending on the chosen program. It grants the unlimited right to live and work with no need for renewal.
For those with savings from USD 352,000 or a pension from USD 8,800 per month, permanent residency can be obtained at once, bypassing the temporary stage.
Mexican citizenship opens a passport with visa-free access to 159 countries. You can apply for naturalization in 5 years under the standard procedure, or in 2 years under the accelerated family program.
Dual citizenship is allowed: you do not need to renounce your current passport.

The Residence Permit Procedure
Important Details of the Procedur
- Document apostille: If you submit documents to the Mexican embassy in your country, an apostille is usually not required. However, if documents are issued in one country while submission takes place at the consulate of another (for example, a certificate from a Turkish employer submitted at the Moscow consulate), an apostille and a notarized translation are required.
- Residence-permit renewal: Renewal is done a month before the current visa term ends. In most cases the residence permit is renewed for 3 years, though sometimes for 2 or 1 year depending on the migration service’s assessment.
- Dependent applicants: Once the main applicant obtains a Mexican residence permit, dependent family members can be added: spouse, minor children and parents. The procedure is the same: either through the consulate in the country of residence, or while already in Mexico through the local migration office.
