Mexican Permanent Residency
Permanent residency offers a settled, long-term basis for living in Mexico. For many international families and individuals, it is a natural step towards putting down roots — explored with careful assessment of your circumstances.
Overview
A settled, long-term base.
Overview
Permanent residency provides a more settled, long-term right to live in Mexico than temporary residency, without in itself conferring nationality.
It suits those whose plans in Mexico are lasting rather than time-limited. Eligibility depends on individual circumstances and the applicable Mexican rules, so it is best assessed case by case.
