Description

Become a resident in Mexico — based on financial solvency (Solvencia Económica)

Mexico allows high-income or high-net-worth individuals to obtain the Residencia Temporal — a temporary residence permit that also forms the first step toward a permanent residence permit (Residencia Permanente).

With the Residencia Temporal, you can also apply for a work permit if needed.

We personally and reliably guide you through the entire process — from the application at the Mexican diplomatic mission in Germany to the successful issuance of your residence card on the ground in Mexico.

Tip: For additional options, please contact us directly here — we will be happy to advise you.

The process — step by step to your Mexico residency
1. Application in Germany (Mexican consulate)

Before you travel to Mexico, you must submit your application for the Residencia Temporal at a Mexican consulate in your home country.

✔️ If the review is successful, you receive a visa valid for 180 days — your ticket to Mexico.

👉 Official information & requirements can be found here (section: temporary stay/“Residencia temporal”).

2. Entry into Mexico

When entering Mexico, you must make sure to present your visa and have it stamped correctly — this is crucial for the next steps.

📌 Without the correct stamp, you may not be able to apply for your residence card later.

3. Conversion into a residence permit (within 30 days)

After entry, you have 30 days to submit the application for your temporary residence card in Mexico.

No stress — we personally accompany you on the ground through the entire process and make sure everything runs smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Residency in Mexico

How do I get residency in Mexico?

The application is usually submitted through a Mexican consulate abroad. There, you must meet financial requirements, which can vary depending on the consulate.

After entering Mexico, the process is completed in Mexico and you receive your residence card.

What types of residence permits are available?

Mexico distinguishes between temporary and permanent residency.

Temporary residency is limited in time and can be renewed. After several years, switching to permanent residency is generally possible.

What requirements do I need for residency?

In most cases, you must prove financial solvency — either through income or assets. The exact requirements are set by the relevant country and consulate.

How long does Mexico residency take?

The consulate process usually takes a few weeks. After entering Mexico, the status must be finalized within 30 days at the immigration authority (INM) in Mexico.

Do I have to stay in Mexico for a certain amount of time?

There is no fixed minimum stay per year to maintain residency.

However, your actual time in the country can affect a later change to permanent residency.

Can I lose my residency?

Yes. If you fail to meet deadlines, renewals, or legal requirements, your residence status can lapse.

Entering Mexico without presenting your valid residence card can also cause problems.

Can I get residency even if I still live at home?

Yes. You can generally hold several residence permits alongside your home-country residence.

Mexico residency initially has no direct effect on your tax status in your home country.

How does the tax system in Mexico work?

Mexico does not have a territorial tax system. If you are tax resident there, your worldwide income is generally subject to taxation.

Whether you actually become taxable depends on your stay, your center of vital interests, and your overall structure.

When do I become tax resident in Mexico?

You are generally considered tax resident in Mexico if your center of vital interests is there or if you spend most of your time in the country, typically more than 183 days per year.

It may also matter whether your income has a connection to Mexico — for example through work in the country or a Mexican employer.

Other economic ties can also play a role. The overall situation is always decisive.

Is residency enough to become tax resident?

No. A residence permit does not automatically create tax residency.

The tax assessment is separate and is based on your actual stay and your center of vital interests.

Can I remain taxable in my home country?

Yes. Mexico residency initially has no direct effect on your tax status in your previous tax-residence country.

As long as you keep a residence, your center of vital interests, or relevant economic ties there, you will generally remain taxable there.

Can I do everything remotely?

No. The first step is completed through a consulate abroad; after that, entering Mexico is required to finalize the process.

Can I open a bank account with residency?

Yes, with a valid residence card, bank account opening is generally possible. Requirements vary by bank.

In some cases, there are also ways to open an account without residency. These options are more limited and depend heavily on the bank and your profile.

Can Mexico lead to a second passport?

Yes. After several years of lawful residence, naturalization is generally possible. The exact requirements and timelines can vary.

Is Mexico dangerous?

That depends heavily on the region and state. There are major differences within the country.

Choosing the right location and following basic safety rules can significantly reduce risk.

What are the disadvantages of residency in Mexico?

Mexico generally taxes worldwide income if you are tax resident there. Bureaucracy and administrative processes can also differ significantly from Europe.
