Temporary Resident Visa (Work): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how foreign executives can secure a Temporary Resident Visa for work in Mexico through company sponsorship.
This visa allows foreign executives to live in Mexico for a set period to fulfill specific professional roles within a local company.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for foreign executives who have been hired by companies operating in Mexico.
What you get
This visa grants you legal residency for work purposes. To obtain it, you must have a formal labor offer and a sponsoring company in Mexico.
What it costs you
The specific fees are not listed here, so you should check with the relevant authorities for the current costs. You will need to provide documentation proving your employment and your identity.
The catch to know
The application is not a single event. It involves a two-step approval process: first, you must obtain approval at a consulate in your home country, and then you must complete the process once you arrive in Mexico.
How to apply
- Secure a formal job offer from a Mexican company.
- Ensure your employer has the necessary registration to hire foreign workers.
- Apply for approval through a consulate.
- Complete the final steps of the process after traveling to Mexico.
