The Mexican government offers two temporary residence visa programs that enable foreign nationals to perform work-related activities in Mexico. The main difference between the two of them is that one of them allows the beneficiary to be in the payroll of the Mexican company and the other keeps the person in the foreign entity.
1. Temporary Residence Non-Remunerated Visa (AKA Digital Nomad Visa)
The visa for foreign nationals working in Mexico while remaining on their home country payroll. It is valid for one year and can be renewed for up to three years.
Key Considerations:
The visa application must be submitted outside of Mexico.
The beneficiary must attend an appointment at a Mexican consulate to have the visa stamped in their passport.
Eligibility may require specific financial earnings, which also comes with a tax rate that’s associated with the earning level.
The beneficiary travels to Mexico, where the process concludes with obtaining a Local ID Card.
Requirements of the company, the beneficiary and corresponding dependents will be applicable.
2. Temporary Residence Remunerated Visa
This visa is for foreign nationals working in Mexico and being remunerated by a Mexican company (i.e., included in the Mexican company’s payroll). It is valid for one year and can be renewed for up to three years.
Some considerations regarding the process:
The visa application is submitted in-country (Mexico).
The beneficiary will obtain a visa stamp in their passport at the Mexican consulate before traveling to Mexico.
Upon arriving in Mexico, the process concludes with beneficiary obtaining a Local ID Card, a Mexican Social Security number, and an RFC (Tax ID).
Requirements of the company, the beneficiary, and corresponding dependents will be applicable.
Other Residence Options:
Temporary residence for investments in Mexico.
Temporary residence for real estate acquisitions in Mexico.
