Since 1974, the General Population Law was the regulatory basis for migration in Mexico. However, this law was extremely complicated and restrictive towards foreigners in Mexico.

Fortunately, between 2011 and 2012, important immigration reforms were enacted and several legislative modifications were made. Since in Mexico we have a constant influx of South American immigrants in transit to the United States of America, there were constant violations of human rights and the lack of protection of their individual guarantees and compliance by the Mexican government with international treaties and agreements. regarding the human rights of migrants, which led to the promulgation of the current Mexican Migration Law on May 25, 2011.

Visas, work permits and residences

The Migration Law establishes three main immigration categories, so-called conditions of stay to replace the more than 30 immigration categories and the modalities provided for in the previous General Population Law.

The condition of stay is assigned by the authorities of the National Migration Institute to a foreigner based on their “intention to reside” as follows:

  • Visitors
  • Temporary Residence
  • Permanent residence
Visitors

Visitor status allows short-term entry into Mexico for various purposes, such as passenger cars, business, transit, among others.

A business visitor may engage in limited short-term activities as authorized by Mexican immigration authorities for up to 180 calendar days (or 6 months).

A visitor visa for Mexico can be obtained at the Mexican consulate abroad. Some countries do not require a visa to enter Mexico. In addition, some people can exempt the visa requirement under programs that allow entry to national territory, such as:

  • Valid US visa
  • Proof of permanent residence in Canada, Japan, Great Britain and the countries of the Schengen area.
  • APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC) approved by Mexico
  • Certificate that certifies that the foreigner is a member of the crew of any aircraft or maritime transport that arrives in the country.

Business visitors only need to fill out the FMM (Formato Multiple Migratorio) form that is provided either during their flight to Mexico or at the port of entry; The immigration officer may request evidence that demonstrates the purpose of the trip at his discretion, such as hotel reservations, return tickets to the country of origin, letter from the employer, letter of invitation from the Mexican entity they visit or any other supporting documentation. which may be requested by the immigration authorities.

Temporary residence

This condition of immigration stay replaces most of the old FM3 and FM2 visa categories and is appropriate for students, foreigners with a job offer issued by a Mexican company, Mexican wife or husband, among other cases.

The foreigner is authorized to remain within Mexican territory for more than 180 days for a maximum period of 4 years, provided that he or she demonstrates that he or she meets some of the established qualification criteria, such as:

  1. Demonstrate financial solvency
  2. Take part in a research project or scientific sample collection within Mexican territory.
  3. Have family ties in Mexico
  4. Receive an invitation offered by a public or private entity to participate in an economic or non-economic activity within Mexican territory

Foreigners with permanent residence can remain indefinitely in Mexico and that legal status allows foreigners to participate in lucrative activities in the country.

Permanent residence can be acquired after a period of 4 years under a temporary residence status, among other cases provided for in the Immigration Law.

Permanent residence can also be obtained by other means:

  • Point systems: In order to bring in specialized professionals and technicians and develop training and growth in different areas, a point system is established through which foreigners can acquire the characteristic of Permanent Resident (with the right to enter and leave the country and perform all types of lucrative activities) compliance with a scoring system in education and work experience.
  • Single family: The foreigner contracts family ties with a Mexican. The entry and stay of people with family ties to Mexicans is allowed and the issuance of the status of temporary and permanent resident stay is facilitated.

  • Naturalization is the process by which a citizen of a foreign country acquires the nationality of another, acquiring ties that require him to remain legally in the country.

Some have renounced their former citizenship and others maintain a dual binational identity.
