Does Mexico have a digital nomad visa?
No — Mexico does not run a dedicated digital-nomad visa. Long-term stays generally go through a retirement or passive-income route, and the route is a moderate lift for a typical non-citizen mover (a monthly income floor of roughly $2,580).
The detail that matters: Residente Temporal (income ~$2,580+/mo, varies by consulate; 2026 hike). Temp->Perm at 4yr, citizenship 5yr. Foreign income often untaxed in practice.
Tax for foreign residents in Mexico
For a foreign earner, Mexico's income is treated moderately. The country taxes residents on worldwide income once you cross the residency threshold, with a headline top personal rate around 35%. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your own situation with a cross-border professional before you move.
From visa to permanent residency
If you're thinking past a year or two, check whether the stay builds toward settlement: in Mexico, permanent residency is reachable after about 4 years of residence. Naturalization typically comes after roughly 5 years. Immigration rules change often, so treat these as directional and verify the current policy with official sources.
Healthcare and insurance
Healthcare access for a foreigner in Mexico is easy to access. A mid-tier private health plan runs roughly $200 a month — most long-stay visas require proof of cover.
