Mexican temporary residency through economic solvency is open to foreign nationals, and there is no nationality bar reported for Turkish applicants.
The application normally begins at a Mexican consulate abroad, which assesses your finances and issues the entry visa, after which you complete the process at an immigration office in Mexico within the first months. Confirm the serving consulate and its document rules with the official authority.
The economic solvency route lets you qualify on either regular monthly income or a balance of savings and investments. As an indication for 2026, consulates have asked for monthly income in the region of 4,400 US dollars, or savings of roughly 74,000 US dollars, but each consulate sets and interprets the figure and the amounts move with the Mexican reference unit. Other routes exist, including family ties. Confirm the current figure with the consulate and the official authority.
A consular visa is often issued within weeks of a complete application, and the residency card is then issued in Mexico. Treat timelines as indicative and confirm with the official authority.
The figures below are indicative only and are set by each consulate. Confirm the amounts that apply to you with the official authority.
Temporary residency lets you live in Mexico and is generally granted in stages up to four years, after which permanent residency may be possible. Confirm the current path with the official authority.
