Temporary residence
Mexico temporary residence through economic solvency
Mexico’s temporary-residence economic-solvency route has a consular visa stage and a separate INM residence-card exchange after entry. This guide uses the San Diego 2026 financial checklist as a named example; other consulates can require different amounts and evidence.
Income, funds or investment
San Diego 2026: savings average USD 75,950 over 12 months OR employment/pension income USD 4,510 monthly over six months. USD 56 consular processing is separate from INM card charges.
San Diego requires the visa form, original passport and copies, lawful-US-status evidence, a recent photo and original bank-certified solvency evidence. Employment cases need a signed employer letter explicitly agreeing to residence and remote work in Mexico. Confirm the authorised consular district and financial branch before assembling the file.
