APPLYING FOR A JOB OFFER VISA?
If you are a foreigner and have received a job
offer in Mexico, or you are a foreigner with a
business in Mexico and plan on working in
this country, you will need permission to work.
The official name is “Visa por oferta de empleo“
(Job Offer Visa). This procedure allows you to
live and work in Mexico.
The process consists of two steps which
are completed in Mexico and one step to be
completed outside the country at a Mexican
consulate.
It requires a job offer from a Mexican company;
this company should have “Constancia de
empleador“. That is to say, it must be registered
at the Immigration Institute (INM) and be
permitted to hire foreigners.
CREATE YOUR JOB AS A BUSINESS
OWNER IN MEXICO
Foreigners looking to invest and do business
in Mexico will do so through the incorporation
of a Mexican company. If you are ready to
relocate to Mexico but not quite ready to retire,
creating a Mexican Corporation may be the
right choice for your investment.
RESIDENCY BY INVESTING IN REAL
ESTATE
Consult with an immigration specialist about
qualifying for residency through real estate
investment in Mexico. Depending on the value
of your property you may be eligible for a
temporary or permanent visa. The requirements
vary depending on which consulate you visit
to initiate your procedure.
