What's the difference between temporary and permanent residency?

Temporary residency (residencia temporal) is typically granted for one to four years and can be renewed. Permanent residency (residencia permanente) is for those who intend to stay long-term and have met the qualifying period or criteria. We help you determine which path fits your situation.

Can I apply for residency while in Mexico on a tourist visa?

In many cases, yes — you can start the process from within Mexico, depending on your nationality and current status. We'll review your specific case and tell you the best route before you take any steps.

How long does the residency process take?

Timelines vary by INM office workload and how quickly you gather documents. We don't promise impossible speeds, but we do eliminate the delays caused by incomplete files and missed appointments.

Do you serve areas outside Cabo San Lucas?

Yes — we serve all of Baja California Sur including La Paz, Todos Santos, Los Barriles, Pescadero, and San José del Cabo. Many steps can be handled remotely with clear guidance.

What documents from my home country do I need?

It depends on your qualifying category. Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, and proof of income — often requiring apostille or legalization. We'll give you an exact list for your case.

How do I get a work visa for Mexico?

The standard route: your Mexican employer registers with INM (Constancia de Empleador) and submits a job offer; you receive an NUT reference number, then apply for a temporary resident visa with work authorization at a Mexican consulate, and finally finalize your resident card at the INM in Mexico. We handle employer registration and the full application process.
