For foreigners in Mexico, immigration regularization is an essential procedure to obtain legal security, tranquility and stability. Therefore, your immigration regularization process is one of our priorities. With this procedure you can normalize your situation and become a temporary resident of our country.
The Government of Mexico together with the National Institute of Migration offers a Temporary Program for Immigration Regularization (PTRM) that benefits those foreigners who have entered the country and have not yet been able to normalize their situation. This temporary initiative is mainly related to the fact that our country -unlike most of the region- did not close its borders in recent times.
Among the legal administrative services that we offer in Extranjería México, we can manage your regularization through this temporary program in a safe, transparent and reliable way.
