Do I need a Work Permit or Visa to work in Mexico?
Whilst Agility EOR does not generally “sponsor” Work Permits (this practice is not always compatible with the EOR/PEO model), we can generally support candidates needing a work visa in Mexico.
Working in Mexico for longer than six months requires a temporary resident visa with work authorization. Employers must apply for this visa at the Mexican Institute of Immigration. If authorised, the employee must apply for the visa at the Mexican consulate in the applicant’s resident country.
The employee must visit the consulate within 15 days after receiving notification that the visa application was accepted. This process grants employees a 180-day temporary resident visa and work authorization.
Employees have 30 days to register with their local immigration office and acquire a four-year temporary residence card after arriving in Mexico. After the card expires, the employee will be able to apply for a permanent resident visa.
Other types of work visa are available, and our specialist onboarding team will be able to advise on the available options.
