Mexico: Government Processing Fees Increased; New Fees Introduced

As of January 1, 2023, the National Immigration Institute in Mexico (INM) has slightly increased the government processing fees for residence permits, resident cards, renewals, exit permits, regularizations, and citizenship applications, among other processes. Notably, the INM has introduced new processing fees for Temporary Residence Visas for Remunerated Activities, Family Reunification Visas, and Corporate Registrations (first-time and updates/renewals). Previously, applications for these types of processes were free of charge; and in the case of these visas, the INM used to charge only for the issuance of resident cards, not for the application.
