About Mexico Citizenship and Residency

Foreign nationals and their families who wish to settle in Mexico may apply for a Temporary Resident visa. This visa comprises several categories such as Scientific Research, Economic Solvency, Real Estate Investment, Education, and Marriage, among others.

The permit is usually issued for 1 year, but it is renewable annually for a further 3 years (3+1), provided that requirements are still met. Prior to its expiration, a temporary resident may apply for a permanent residence permit if he or she has continuously resided in the country for 4 years (i.e. has paid Mexican income taxes).

After 5 years of legal residency, a resident may be eligible for naturalization. To obtain citizenship they must have Spanish language skills and pass a test and interview about Mexican history, culture, and values. Nationals of Iberia (Spain and Portugal) or Latin American countries may be eligible for citizenship after 2 years of legal residency.

Temporary Resident Visas:

This visa is designed for foreigners who intend to stay in the country for more than 180 days and up to four years. The temporary resident card will only be granted for one year. After the first year, temporary residents can apply for a one, two, or three years renewal of the temporary resident card.

Temporary Residency allows the holder to get a registration number called CURP ( Clave Unica de Registro de Poblacion). CURP holders are permitted to open bank accounts, legally register a car, and possibly avoid paying capital gains tax on the future sale of a Mexican home, plus other benefits.

While your visa is in process and you enter Mexico with pre-authorized visa, you need to remain in the country for a minimum of seven business days before requesting permission to travel. Leaving without permission will cancel your visa.
