Mexico offers temporary residency through routes such as economic solvency and a qualifying business investment. Filipino nationals can apply, normally starting at a Mexican consulate.
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 bar for Filipino applicants. Most applicants begin at a Mexican consulate, receive a visa, then convert it to a resident card at an INM office in Mexico, generally within thirty days of arrival.
Thresholds are set as multiples of a national reference unit and consulates can apply them differently, so confirm the figures with the consulate that will handle your case.
Two common routes are economic solvency, shown through savings or regular income, and a qualifying investment in a Mexican company or shares. The investor route is assessed against the value of the investment.
Temporary residency is usually granted for one year first and can be renewed toward up to four years, after which permanent residency may be possible. Confirm the current process and timing with INM and the consulate.
Costs include consulate visa fees, the resident card issue fee in Mexico, and your qualifying investment or proof of funds. Figures below are indicative and set in reference units, so verify the current amounts.
