We’re planning to stay for at least a year.
Do I need any special permits to live long‑term in Puente de Ixtla as a foreigner?
1 Answer
Foreign residents who intend to stay longer than 180 days must obtain a temporary resident visa, which can be applied for at a Mexican consulate abroad. Once you have the visa, you register it at the local immigration office in the state capital, where you’ll receive a resident card. This card allows you to work, open bank accounts, and enroll children in school. The process requires proof of income or savings, a valid passport, and recent photographs. For the most current requirements and forms, consult the official website of Mexico’s immigration institute or contact the nearest consulate.
