Permanent Residency Visa

Regularization programs like RNE are designed to provide legal residency status to individuals who are already residing in Mexico but lack the proper documentation. You can also regularize your immigration status in Mexico through marriage to a Mexican citizen or a permanent resident; job offer or financial solvency.

Obtaining a Permanent Resident Card in Mexico involves several steps and requirements.
