Mexico Temporary Resident visa for remote workers
How US-timezone remote workers use Mexico Temporary Resident status.
Mexico does not have a branded digital nomad visa, but the Temporary Resident visa serves the same purpose and is widely used by US-based remote tech workers.
## Eligibility
Demonstrate monthly income above approximately 4 500 USD or savings of approximately 75 000 USD. Both must be sustained over the preceding six to twelve months on bank statements.
## Process
Apply at a Mexican consulate outside Mexico. Approval typically within two to four weeks. Within 30 days of arrival, exchange for the residency card.
## Tax
The Temporary Resident visa does not by itself create tax residency. Tax residency requires spending more than 183 days per year in Mexico.
