    The standard tourist visa, called an FM-T, is free and it’s valid for six months without further possible extensions. If you wish to stay longer than 90 days, you need to seek permission to remain in the country.

    Mexican visa and immigration procedures vary. Find a good immigration attorney who speaks English. Interview at least two and do your due diligence. It’s a good idea to talk with expats that have been through the bureaucracy before. On the whole, though, the country makes it easy for expats to move to Mexico.
