When you’re applying for residency in Mexico, or making a filing related to your existing residency status, you’ll need to make appointments to get attended at a Mexican consulate abroad and/or an immigration office in Mexico.
Requesting appointments for residency at Mexican consulates
The ways in which Mexican consulates schedule appointments for residency application interviews varies by location, and lead times for appointments also varies.
For full details: see our related article about making residency applications at a Mexican consulate and learn more about how appointments are made, typical leads times, and the interview process.
Requesting appointments at Mexico’s immigration offices
Most immigration offices in Mexico use an online appointment system to book-in applicants; for example, to exchange a residency visa sticker for a residency card, or to renew an existing residency card, or some other residency-related matter, e.g. filing change notifications.
For full details: see our related article about online appointments at Mexico’s immigration offices and learn about the online appointment system, the types of procedures that can be booked online, typical lead times, and the booking process.
Self-service or Assistance for appointments
The online appointment-booking systems can be accessed directly by applicants and you can go through the entire booking process yourself.
