Immigration to mexico?

Question

tell me wht you know about that?..needs somoe facts and help=]]

pleaseeee?

Answer 1

theres about  3 or 4 different immgration status's. Im retired and an FM2 and had to prove at least a monthly income of $1200 usd. Easy paprework process and got my status in about a month USA could learn from this !!!!. In 2 years I think I automatically advance to some other status. If you want to work still some simple paperwork but also some from your boss. not to difficult . This is FM3 and automatically in about 2 years you move to FM2 - permant residence I think. Immigration office is pretty good and has done it a million times and got it down pretty good . USA could again learn a thing or 2 about how to process Immigration effeciently but thats a different story. You have 180 days to get to the immigration office and get the process started. Basically a paperwork thing ( simple and self explanitory ) and easy.

Copy ALL pages of your Passport and I mean ALL even blank. Need your tourist card and 1 copy and some other stuff. Its easy...........

Answer 2

You may live long-term in Mexico without becoming a citizen.  You may apply for and receive an FM3 visa if you have provable steady income from the U.S. of at least about $1200 a month...or one years' worth in the bank.  This visa must be renewed once a year with continued proof of income.  After 5 years, you may apply for a FM2 visa (step up) also with income requirements.  After 2 years, you may apply for citizenship..which takes about 2 years. You must reside in Mexico during these time periods with only short absences.   I believe if you are married to a citizen, this process can go a little faster, tho I know many American citizens married to Mexican citizens, who have not sought citizenship.  It is very difficult to get a work permit, however, if you have investment income you may start your own business...I know several foreign citizens who have. Some become Mexican citizens, some do not.  The majority of foreign citizens living in Mexico do not become citizens.  However, if you want to live in Mexico, you have several years to make that decision, no rush.

Answer 3

As the above post suggests, Mexico attempts to exercise a significant deal of control over immigration into its borders and will not let foreigners work in the country except in very particular cases. Do not assume that just because Mexico desires its northern neighbor to be very open to immigrant labor that it wishes to exercise this same level of openness itself. Actually, from what I gather its southern border with Guatemala is quite tightly controlled indeed and if I recall correctly illegal immigration into Mexico is labeled a felony. Furthermore, I believe that even naturalized citizens in Mexico face more lifetime restrictions on what jobs they can hold in the public sector than do naturalized citizens in the United States. Mexicans are very nationalistic and protective of their own culture--again do not mistake their desire for the United States to be multicultural and accepting of their immigrants' culture as an indication that they wish to do the same in the case of persons living in their homeland. Mexico does not have the legacy as a nation of immigrants that the United States does. Mexico is a wonderful country in many respects but it is not immune to much xenophobia and ethnocentrism.

I have little doubt that I will receive some "thumbs down" for writing this and may even run the risk of people believing me to be a "racist" simply for expressing a critical opinion. Bear in mind that my criticisms of Mexico do not make me any more "racist" than my criticisms of the United States make me "unpatriotic". Indeed, it is a mark of ethnocentrism itself to  refuse to accept the legitimacy of opposing points of view.

Answer 4

Look through Rolly Brook's website. He details how he moved to Mexico.

Answer 5

We have a lot of inmigrants especially from Central America, Cuba and Argentina.

In the 20th century we had a lot of spanish inmigration due to the Spanish civil war in 1936.

There's a lot of lebaneses too.

But the inmigration process in Mexico is too complicated and difficult though.

Answer 7

Well first thing you should know; Mexico is Beautiful. Laws are a bit stricter, but its an easy process to obtain legalization. You should go to Immigration offices right across the Mexico borders... good luck!
