What are the visa & residency requirements in Mexico?
We asked people about the visa & residency requirements in Mexico, they wrote...
"The main thing to know is that you must start your residency request outside of Mexico, at a Mexican consulate. Then you have 30 days to present yourself to the Mexico immigrations. There are professional groups that will do all of this for you, for a fee, of course," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Merida, Mexico.
"This should be addressed at the immigration office here in Playa. Many come in on a Tourist Visa that is generally given for 180 days. After that, the person has to leave the country and return to hopefully get another Tourist Visa. However, their requirements for getting a Temporary or Permanent Visa are online and are affordable," commented one expat who made the move to Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
