Mexico temporary residency by economic solvency is open to applicants of many nationalities, including Vietnamese nationals. The application normally starts at a Mexican consulate abroad.
This is a residency route, not citizenship, so it does not affect Vietnamese nationality. You can qualify by showing either sufficient regular income or a sufficient savings balance, but you cannot mix the two.
The economic solvency route lets you show qualifying monthly income over a recent period, or a qualifying savings and investment balance over a longer period. Each consulate sets the exact documents and the amount it will accept.
After the consulate issues the entry visa, you complete the residency process in Mexico through the National Migration Institute within the deadline given to you.
The consulate stage and the in country stage each have their own steps. Confirm the current expected timeline with the consulate and the National Migration Institute rather than relying on intermediary figures.
Income and savings thresholds are set in multiples of an official Mexican index and were rebased upward from 2025. The amount varies by consulate, so confirm the figure that applies to you before you apply.
| Item | Indicative amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Qualifying monthly income | Confirm the current figure with the consulate | Set in multiples of the official Mexican index, varies by consulate |
| Qualifying savings balance | Confirm the current figure with the consulate | Set in multiples of the official Mexican index, varies by consulate |
| Government and processing fees | Confirm the current figure with the official authority | Set by the INM and the consulate |

Yes. The economic solvency route is open to applicants of many nationalities. The application normally begins at a Mexican consulate abroad.
No. You must meet the threshold through one means, either qualifying income or a qualifying savings balance, not a mix of the two.
Consulates quote the threshold in local currency and apply their own exchange rates, so figures vary. Confirm the amount with the consulate that will handle your case.
