FAMILY TIE WITH A MEXICAN
OR RESIDENT
Having a family tie, proven and
recognized, with a Mexican, or
a foreigner holding a temporary
or permanent residency allows
you to obtain a residence visa
in Mexico.
How do I request residency
under family unity?
A family member may apply in
Mexico, and the family member
or relatives will attend an
interview at the Mexican Con-
sulate out of the country, where
they will be given an interin
visa in order to enter Mexico
with the intention of requesting
temporary residence, before the
Migration Institute.
Does the Temporary
Residence include
permission to work?
No; only for those who
have a job offer.
What happens if I do not
have an offer of employ-
ment and my residence was
processed through family
unity or as a student visa?
You may apply for a work
permit once you have a job
offer either as an employee, a
freelancer or by opening a
business and your company
may then hire you.
