Live and work from Mexico without cycling tourist permits.
Mexico does not have a digital nomad visa. What remote workers use is temporary residency, granted on income or savings, and it puts you on a legal footing rather than leaving you at the mercy of whatever an immigration officer writes on your permit. We handle the application and everything that follows.
What we handle.
Residency and tax
We prepare and run your temporary residency application, then introduce you to accountants who can set your tax position up properly from the start.
Somewhere to live
We find apartments that suit how you actually work, handle the guarantor requirement, and check the lease before you sign anything.
Banking
We coordinate opening a Mexican account, which is harder than it sounds for a foreigner, along with the RFC registration it depends on.
Where you work
Introductions to the co-working spaces and members clubs that fit how you work and where you are living, including the ones that are not advertised.
Landing setup
Mexican SIM and number, internet, utilities and an orientation of the neighbourhood, so the first week goes on working rather than queuing.
Meeting people
Introductions to the community already here, which is the part most people underestimate and the hardest thing to arrange on your own.
-
No, and anyone telling you otherwise is describing something else. Mexico has no dedicated remote-worker visa. What people in your position actually apply for is temporary residency, granted at a consulate on the basis of income or savings, and it lasts up to four years before you can convert it to permanent.
-
People do, and it works until it does not. The length of stay you are granted is at the officer's discretion rather than automatic, so the assumption that you always get 180 days is not reliable, and repeated entries invite more questions each time. Residency removes the problem rather than managing it, and it is what lets you open a bank account and sign a lease in your own name.
-
All of it. Mexico City, Guadalajara, Playa del Carmen, Oaxaca, Mérida, Puerto Escondido and the smaller places people end up in once they have been here a while. We work through a partner network we appoint and manage ourselves, so the service does not thin out because you picked somewhere less obvious. If you have not decided where yet, that is a useful conversation to have early, since the city shapes your costs, your internet and whether you need a car.
-
Possibly, and it depends on more than how many days you spend here. Residency status and tax residency are separate things, and the answer turns on where your economic life is centred rather than a simple day count. It is worth getting an accountant to look at it before you arrive rather than after, and we make that introduction as part of the setup.
-
Every setup is different, so we give you a tailored proposal after the first call rather than an off-the-shelf price. Fees are quoted in USD.
