TEMPORARY MEXICO RESIDENCY ASSISTANCE
Guide to Obtaining a Temporary Mexico Residency Card
Step-by-Step Process
1. Begin at a Mexican Consulate in the USA
To start the process, you must apply for a Temporary Residency Visa at a Mexican Consulate in the USA. Once your application is approved, the consulate will issue a TR Mexico Visa valid for six months.
2. Exchange Visa for Residency Card
After arriving in Mexico, the next crucial step is to exchange your TR Mexico Visa for a TR Mexico Card. This must be done at the nearest INM Immigration office where you plan to reside.

Applying Through a Mexican Spouse or Temporary Resident Card Holder
At a Mexican Consulate in the US
If you are married to a Mexican citizen or a Temporary Resident Card Holder, you can apply for Temporary Residency at any Mexican Consulate in the US. You will receive a one-year residency.
