Applying for an FM3 visa
The immigration laws in Mexico are much different than those in America and this can become complicated when you are seeking a Mexican visa.
Because of the intricacies of the visa, you may need experienced representation to help you determine which one you will need and how to obtain it. Before you can legally sign a contract in Mexico, whether its purchasing a house or leasing a property, you must have an FM3 visa.
The FM3 is a visa that is granted for one year, but is renewable for up to five years. There are a few qualifications that a person must have in order to receive an FM3 Visa. For example, there must be proof that a person has the appropriate amount of funds or sufficient income to cover the living costs in Mexico.
An FM3 visa must be obtained if you are going to be involved in the following activities in Mexico:
- Work
- Business
- Renting property
- Journalist
- Tourist
If you are going to be visiting Mexico for more than 180 days, an FM3 visa must be obtained. If you are seeking this visa, contact the experienced Mexico visa attorneys of Hernandez-Ojeda today by calling 800-673-1995.
