Rule
Fresh allowance per entry

A fresh allowance each time you enter. Border runs may reset it, but repeated same-day runs draw scrutiny.

Non-Schengen β€” days spent here do not burn your Schengen 90/180 allowance.

Nomad visa
Temporary Resident Visa (economic solvency)
Income requirement$4,400/mo
Duration12 months
RenewableYes
Path to residencyYes

Not branded a nomad visa but functions as one. Must be applied for at a Mexican consulate abroad, not inside Mexico. Thresholds are pegged to Mexican minimum wage and move annually.

Most nomad visa applications require proof of health cover for the full permit duration β€” here that's 12 months.

Day count is one test; having your 'centre of vital interests' in Mexico can trigger residency independently.

The honest note

Border officers increasingly grant less than 180 days at their discretion. Do not assume the full stamp.
