Temporary Resident Visa (economic solvency)：미국 → 멕시코
US citizens working remotely can apply at a Mexican consulate for a Temporary Resident Visa on economic-solvency grounds — show about US$4,393/month income (or roughly US$73,215 in savings), book a MiConsulado appointment, and attend an in-person interview.
Mexico's Temporary Resident Visa granted on proof of economic solvency — the route remote workers use to live in Mexico while working remotely, applied for at a Mexican consulate (SRE).

준비 시작 시기
출발일 15일–30일 전에 준비를 시작하십시오.
Schedule an appointment for the VISAS department via MiConsulado (by phone or online at citas.sre.gob.mx). Do not schedule until you have all your documents.
Gather either bank statements showing a minimum monthly balance of at least US$73,215 for the previous twelve months, or documents proving income of at least US$4,393/month for the previous six months (with an employer letter agreeing to your plan to reside in Mexico and work remotely).
Complete the visa application form and prepare a recent photo to consular specifications (at least 32.0 x 26.0 mm and at most 39.0 x 31.0 mm, front view, white background).
Pay the non-refundable processing fee, attend the appointment where a consular official reviews your file, conducts a consular interview (in English or Spanish) and captures your biometrics.

알아두면 좋은 정보
- This is the Temporary Resident Visa on economic-solvency grounds — Mexico has no separate named 'digital nomad' visa, but remote workers use this route (the employer letter must explicitly agree to your plan to reside in Mexico and work remotely).
- Solvency thresholds and fees vary slightly by consulate; the Orlando consulate lists US$4,393/month income or US$73,215 savings and a US$53 processing fee.
- The processing fee is charged before review regardless of whether the visa is approved; the consulate's decision is final.
- After receiving the consular visa you must exchange it for a Temporary Resident card in Mexico within 30 days of entry.
