Common questions
How do I get a work visa for Mexico? +
The standard route: your Mexican employer registers with INM (Constancia de Empleador) and submits a job offer; you receive an NUT reference number, then apply for a temporary resident visa with work authorization at a Mexican consulate, and finally finalize your resident card at the INM in Mexico. We handle employer registration and the full application process.
Can I work remotely for a foreign company while living in Mexico? +
Working for a foreign employer while residing in Mexico is a legal gray area that Mexican immigration law has not fully addressed — many people do it on temporary residency obtained via economic solvency, but it is not explicitly authorized. Working for a Mexican entity always requires INM work permission. We recommend consulting both an immigration and a tax professional for your specific situation.
How much is a work permit in Mexico in 2026? +
The INM work-permission endorsement fee for a temporary resident is approximately $4,341 MXN (2026 government tariff). Employer registration (Constancia de Empleador) involves separate INM fees. Total costs vary by case — book a free consultation for a precise estimate.
Does my employer need to do anything to get me a work visa? +
Yes — your employer must be registered with INM as an authorized employer (Constancia de Empleador) and must provide corporate documents and a formal job offer. We guide employers through the full registration process and coordinate both sides of the application.
Can I work in Mexico on a tourist visa? +
No. Working while on a tourist permit (FMM) is not permitted and can result in INM sanctions for both you and your employer. You need proper work authorization in place before starting work.
Does my employer need to register with INM? +
Yes — any Mexican company hiring foreign workers must hold a valid Constancia de Empleador from INM. Without it, INM will not process work permit applications. We help businesses obtain and maintain this registration.
How is a work permit different from residency? +
A work permit (or work-permission endorsement) authorizes you to work for a specific employer in Mexico. Residency is your legal status to live in the country. Most foreign workers need both, and the processes are linked — we coordinate the full picture so nothing is missed.
