The process for obtaining an investor visa in Mexico can vary depending on the nationality and specific situation of the applicant, but in general, there are certain common steps and requirements that you must follow. Below is a general guide to obtaining an investor visa in Mexico:
Identify the Type of Visa:
Mexico offers different types of investor visas, such as the Temporary Resident Visa for Business Reasons or the Permanent Resident Visa for Business Reasons. Do your research and choose the type of visa that best suits your situation and needs.
Make a Sufficient Investment:
One of the fundamental requirements to obtain an investor visa is to make a sufficient investment in Mexico. The amount required may vary and depends on the type of investment you are making. It is important to verify the specific requirements updated at the National Institute of Migration (INM) in Mexico.
Prepare Documentation:
- Gather all necessary documents, which may include:
- Proof of the investment made in Mexico.
- Documents proving the existence and legality of the company you are investing in.
- Official identification.
- Proof of address.
- Bank statement.
- Other documents that demonstrate the source of the funds to be invested.

Apply for a Visa at a Mexican Consulate:
Go to the nearest Mexican consulate in your home country to submit your visa application. It is important to bring all necessary documents and complete the required forms. The consulate will review your application and documents before issuing the visa.
Performing the Process in Mexico:
Once you obtain the visa in your home country, you will have a deadline to enter Mexico. Once in Mexico, you must go to the office of the National Immigration Institute (INM) to complete the temporary or permanent residency process, depending on the type of visa you have obtained. This involves providing more documents and completing additional paperwork.
Comply with Residency Obligations:
After obtaining temporary or permanent residency, make sure to comply with all obligations established by the INM, such as renewing the visa when necessary and complying with tax and immigration requirements during your stay in Mexico.
It is important to keep in mind that the requirements and process may change, so I recommend that you consult the official website of the National Immigration Institute of Mexico or contact the Mexican embassy or consulate in your country for updated and specific information on how to obtain the investor visa in Mexico.
