Bank Statement for the Mexico Temporary Resident Visa
Mexico's temporary resident visa is granted on economic solvency: either monthly income above a threshold for the last 6 months, or an average savings balance over the last 12 months. Both tests are proven with bank statements, and consulates review them line by line. Thresholds are set as multiples of the Mexican minimum wage or UMA and vary by consulate.

Frequently Asked Questions

- Why do consulates ask for every statement page?
- Officers verify averages and look for irregular deposits. Missing pages are one of the most common reasons applications are refused on the spot.

- One year initially, renewable in-country up to four years total, after which you can transition to permanent residency.
