Mexico grants temporary residency to foreign nationals who show economic solvency or a qualifying investment. There is no nationality bar that excludes Bangladeshi applicants as of June 2026. This page explains the routes, the timeline and where to confirm the current figures.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
There is no nationality rule that excludes Bangladeshi applicants. Bangladesh is a visa required country for Mexico, so most applicants begin at a Mexican consulate abroad rather than on arrival. Applicants must show the legal source of their funds and meet the financial thresholds the consulate applies.
Approval rests with the official authority and is partly discretionary. Meeting a financial figure does not guarantee a grant. Confirm the current eligibility and document rules with the official authority before you commit.
The common route is economic solvency, shown through a track record of monthly income or a held savings or investment balance over the period the consulate sets. A separate route is based on a qualifying investment, such as ownership of Mexican company shares or real estate above the published thresholds.
Consulates increasingly calculate the thresholds using the Unidad de Medida y Actualizacion (UMA) rather than the minimum wage. Because the multiplier and the UMA value both move, confirm the exact current figure with the consulate that will handle your file.
The first temporary resident card is issued for one year. Renewals can be granted for one, two or three years at a time, up to a total of four years, after which permanent residency may be available. You exchange the consular visa for the resident card at the Instituto Nacional de Migracion inside Mexico within the window stamped in the visa.
Processing times vary by consulate and by INM office. Confirm current processing times with the official authority.
The main cost is meeting the solvency or investment threshold itself. On top of that sit the consular visa fee and the INM card issuance fee, which scale with the length of the card. Use the table as a checklist and confirm each figure with the official authority, since fees are set in pesos and adjust each year.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Economic solvency threshold | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Set in UMA, varies by consulate |
| Investment route threshold | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Company shares or real estate |
| Consular visa fee | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Paid to the Mexican consulate |
| INM card issuance fee | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Scales with card length |

Yes. As of June 2026 there is no nationality bar. Bangladesh is a visa required country, so applicants usually start at a Mexican consulate and must show legal source of funds. Confirm with the official authority.
Either can work. Economic solvency through income or savings is the common route, and a qualifying investment in shares or real estate is an alternative. Confirm the current thresholds with the official authority.
Temporary residency can lead to permanent residency and, in time, to naturalisation, subject to separate rules and residence periods. Confirm the current path with the official authority.
