The Migration Law establishes three main immigration categories, so-called conditions of stay to replace the more than 30 immigration categories and the modalities provided for in the previous General Population Law.

• Visitors
• Temporary Residence
• Permanent residence

Visitor status allows short-term entry into Mexico for various purposes, such as passenger cars, business, transit, among others.

A business visitor may engage in limited short-term activities as authorized by Mexican immigration authorities for up to 180 calendar days (or 6 months).

A visitor visa for Mexico can be obtained at the Mexican consulate abroad. Some countries do not require a visa to enter Mexico. In addition, some people can exempt the visa requirement under programs that allow entry to national territory, such as:

• Valid US visa
• Proof of permanent residence in Canada, Japan, Great Britain and the countries of the Schengen area.
• APEC Business Travel Card (ABTC) approved by Mexico
• Certificate that certifies that the foreigner is a member of the crew of any aircraft or maritime transport that arrives in the country.

Business visitors only need to fill out the FMM (Formato Multiple Migratorio) form that is provided either during their flight to Mexico or at the port of entry; The immigration officer may request evidence that demonstrates the purpose of the trip at his discretion, such as hotel reservations, return tickets to the country of origin, letter from the employer, letter of invitation from the Mexican entity they visit or any other supporting documentation. which may be requested by the immigration authorities.
