Multiple-entry work pass for Guatemalan and Belizean nationals in Mexico's southern border states, processed same-day at designated crossings.
The Border Zone Worker Visitor (Visitante Trabajador Fronterizo) is Mexico's work permit for Guatemalan and Belizean nationals in designated border municipalities. Established under the 2011 Migration Law, it authorizes employment in Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, and Quintana Roo on a circular commuter basis, replacing irregular crossings with a regulated system for border communities.
Processing occurs same-day at border crossings (or next business day if system issues). The fee is approximately 581 MXN (~$29 USD), waived if salary equals the regional minimum wage. Valid one year with multiple entries, the permit does not lead to permanent residency. Spouses cannot work.
This visa is ideal for Guatemalan and Belizean border residents seeking seasonal or regular employment in Mexico's southern states without expensive work visa requirements.
