Immigration Consultant in Mexico City — Residency & Permits for Expats 

Planning to Move to Mexico City?

Immigration paperwork is just the first step. Once your visa or residency is sorted, there's still a lot to navigate — finding the right neighbourhood, opening a bank account as a foreigner, registering your CURP and RFC, and understanding how daily life actually works in CDMX.

That's why I also offer dedicated relocation support for expats and digital nomads settling in Mexico City — practical, hands-on guidance to help you feel at home faster.

Why Work With Me

• English and Spanish support throughout

• Deep knowledge of INM Polanco — the main office serving most expat cases in CDMX

• Transparent fees, no hidden costs

• Remote or in-person, depending on your situation

How long does the temporary residency process take? It varies depending on the consulate and INM workload, but most cases are completed within a few weeks once all documents are in order.

Can I work in Mexico with a temporary resident card? Not automatically. You need a work permit from the INM to engage in paid activities legally.

Can I apply for residency without leaving Mexico? In some cases, yes — for example, if you're changing status from visitor to temporary resident. It depends on your specific situation. Contact me and I'll evaluate your case.

What's the difference between temporary and permanent residency? Temporary residency is valid for 1–4 years and requires renewal. Permanent residency has no expiration date and is available after 4 consecutive years as a temporary resident, among other qualifying conditions.

How much does the full process cost, including government fees? Government fees vary by procedure and are set by the Mexican government. I always provide a full cost breakdown — my fee plus estimated government fees — before you commit to anything.

Do you offer remote assistance? Yes. Many steps can be handled digitally, and I guide you through the entire process regardless of where you're starting from.

Is this legal representation? I provide immigration advisory and procedural assistance based on official INM requirements. I do not offer legal defence services.
