When considering seeking legal residency in Mexico, it's important to note that Mexican immigration regulations outline specific requirements for applicants.
The majority of residency applications are approved based on the concept of 'economic solvency,' which aims to guarantee that individuals pursuing residency through this avenue possess the financial capability to support themselves in Mexico.
Below are the 'economic solvency' requirements for obtaining residency in Mexico in 2024.

For retirees or pensioners, you will need to prove:
1.an average monthly balance equivalent to $410,735.00 CDN during the last 12 months, or
