The table below describes the support offered at each stage of the application process.

Stage First Time Application Support
Initial consultation The service begins with a personal consultation. Our associate will consult with you to understand your situation, describe the relevant qualification criteria and application procedures, and plan your first time application support service.
Tele-support for Mexican Consulate procedures Most first-time applicants need to begin their application at a Mexican consulate abroad. When your procedure involves an appointment at a Mexican Consulate, our associate provides tele-support for this stage, including identifying a suitable consulate, help with appointment booking, and support to help you prepare for your residency interview at the Mexican Consulate.
Preparatory work and documents review To prepare for your procedure, our associate will send you a customized checklist of the documents you need to gather for your procedure, based on your individual situation.

Our associate also provides a review of your supporting documentation, including your official documents and certificates, bank statements, etc., to cross check the documents for accuracy and completeness.

Forms and letters Mexican consulate abroad: The associate will provide guidance to help you complete the application form for the consulate, and cross-check this for accuracy before you submit it.

Immigration office in Mexico: The associate will correctly complete all the application forms and write the covering letters (in Spanish) that you will need to submit at the immigration office in Mexico.

Scheduling Our associate works with you to coordinate dates for your intended procedure and filing that are mutually convenient, and which meet the stipulated deadlines for the procedure.

Our associate will coordinate your intended arrival date in Mexico (or the intended filing date if you’re already in Mexico), and provide you with details of the address and opening hours of the immigration office you intend to file at in Mexico.

Preparing to file your application in Mexico Our associate will brief and assist you according to your individual situation to help you fully prepare in advance of your intended filing dates.

Our associate will email the files of the forms and letter for you to print out, sign, and take with you to the immigration office in Mexico.

They’ll also send you a customized checklist of required documents you need to carry with you when you file your application.

Filing the application in Mexico Our associate will give you detailed instructions and guidance about filing your application at the immigration office.

They’ll email you a document with detailed guidance about what to do at the immigration office in Mexico based on your intended procedure and location. Depending on the location, you will either attend the office in person to ask for an appointment and return on that date to file, or you’ll need to line up and wait for a service token to be attended that day.

When your turn is called, you hand over the docket of papers our associate prepared and wait for the immigration official to review and process the application. When it’s approved, your photograph and fingerprints will be taken digitally.

Your residency card might be issued that same day; otherwise, you will be given a file number and be invited to return another day to pick-up your residency card(s).

Ongoing contact and assistance Our associate will provide you with a contact number/email in case you have questions or concerns at any time, or need to troubleshoot any issues as you work your own way through the procedures and file your application.
Leaving the immigration office When you have completed filing your procedure, you can advise our associate about the outcome. They may ask you to send them a copy of your card/papers for review and ensure everything is in good order.

This is not a line-hopping service

Our associate assists and guides you through the procedures in good time, but cannot obtain preferential treatment for any applicant, and they cannot guarantee appointment date availability or ‘fast-track’ appointments or processing time scales at the immigration office.
