How do I get a residence permit in Mexico when I buy a flat in Playa del Carmen?

The wise decision of buying an apartment in Playa Del Carmen allows you to have a residence permit which is called a temporary resident visa. To get it, you need to buy a flat worth at least $490,745.

The process of obtaining a visa consists of several steps.

  1. Prepare the necessary paperwork:
    • the original and a photocopy of your passport;
    • an application for a visa;
    • a colour photo in passport dimensions (recent within 30 days);
    • the original and a duplicate of a document proving lawful presence in the nation (entry visa or residency card). Spanish citizens are not subject to this requirement;
    • the original and copy of the document that confirms that the foreigner is the owner of real estate worth at least $490,745.
  2. Apply for a visa at the Mexican consulate through the MiConsulate electronic system and then go for an interview. This can be done in any country other than Mexico itself.
  3. If the consular officer is completely satisfied with the documents and the results of the interview, the visa will be issued the same day. If additional checks are needed, the visa will be ready during 10 working days.
  4. During a 30-day period from your entry into Mexico, convert your visa into a temporary residency card at the National Migration Institute.

The visa is granted for a period of four years. Then you may obtain a permanent residency visa. And after another year — Mexican citizenship. A Mexican passport allows you to travel without a visa to 162 countries, including the European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom. The Mexican Constitution permits you to have dual citizenship.
