Overview

Multiple-entry visitor visa for frequent travelers with 180-day stays per entry; no work allowed.

The Long-Term Visitor Visa is Mexico's multi-entry permit for frequent travelers maintaining economic solvency and regularly visiting for non-remunerative purposes. Valid for up to 10 years and issued by Mexican consulates, it streamlines repeated border crossings without residency. Applicants must document stable foreign income or savings to qualify.

The visa permits 180 days per entry. The consular fee is USD 54. The permit does not authorize any employment, and spouses cannot work. The visa does not lead to permanent residency.

This visa is ideal for frequent business travelers, remote consultants, and international tourists seeking multiple long-term entries to Mexico without residential commitment.
