Work Permit in Mexico: Your Key to Legal Employment
Mexico Work Permit is the official authorization that allows a foreign national to work legally in the country and receive payment for their services.
The first step to obtaining one is securing a formal job offer from a company that holds a valid Employer Certificate, issued by the National Immigration Institute (INM).
Upon approval, you will be granted Temporary Residency with a Work Permit and the corresponding physical ID card. This document grants you the right to:
Work legally for your sponsoring employer in Mexico.
Reside in the country for the duration of your permit’s validity.
Enter and exit Mexico multiple times as needed.
This permit is initially valid for up to one year from the date of issuance and can typically be renewed.
The Employer Certificate (CE): Hiring Foreign Talent in Mexico
The Employer Certificate (CE) from Mexico's National Immigration Institute (INM) is a mandatory requirement for any business to legally hire foreign talent.
It authorizes a company to make formal job offers, which is the essential first step for a foreign employee to obtain a Temporary Residency with Work Permit.
To maintain this certificate, companies have key ongoing duties:
-
Submit regular tax documentation to the INM.
-
Prove the business is active and in good fiscal standing.
Fulfilling these obligations is critical to keep the certificate valid and ensure continuous legal compliance for foreign employees.
Mexican Citizenship by Naturalization
Naturalization is the process by which you acquire Mexican nationality, with the same rights and obligations as any citizen born in the country. For many, this is the final step of their journey. The most common paths to obtaining Mexican citizenship include:
- Job offers issued by individuals or legal entities that have a Certificate of Employer.
- Invitation from an academic, artistic, sports, or cultural authority or institution, indicating that the services provided by the foreigner will be in favor of the institution issuing the invitation.
- Proof that the foreigner is coming to Mexico to perform paid activities for a specific period of time, in accordance with inter-institutional agreements entered into with foreign entities (such as the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, NATO, or the World Health Organization).
