If you qualify and intend to apply for residency in Mexico using the Special RNE Procedure and need assistance completing the forms and paperwork in preparation for your filing, our associates can help.
There are various routes to residency in Mexico and most of them require that your application begins at a Mexican consulate abroad, with some exceptions. One of the exceptions is for applications for residency in Mexico using the Special RNE Procedure.
If you intend to apply for residency using the special RNE procedure, you must attend an immigration office in Mexico, in person, to ask if your application will be accepted. Our associates can help with the forms and paperwork if you are invited to apply for residency using the RNE program.
Requesting residency in Mexico via the RNE procedure
If you intend to apply for residency in Mexico using the RNE procedure, you must:
- Qualify under the terms of the program; which include
- Being situated physically in Mexico and holding an expired visitor permit; and
- Be prepared to pay the government fees for the application.
- Your first step must be to attend an immigration office in Mexico in person to ask if your request for a RNE application will be accepted.
- Our associates cannot attend the immigration office on your behalf. You must attend yourself, personally, to make the request.
If the local immigration office agrees to accept your application via the RNE program, they will ask you to go online and complete some special forms and write a letter of request (in Spanish).
Our associates can help you with this paperwork so that you can return to the immigration office fully prepared to file your application and get your residency card under the RNE program.
How the Tele-Assistance facilitation service works
The tele-assistance support service offered by our associates saves you time and helps avoid common mistakes made by applicants filing out forms for the RNE special procedure. You can use tele-assistance regardless of what location you are currently situated in Mexico.
The service helps you to complete the paperwork required as part of a RNE special procedure and includes:
- An initial consultation by phone/videocall/email/chat to understand your situation and confirm that the local immigration office has agreed to accept your application.
- Confirmation of the required procedures to file for residency using the special RNE application procedure.
- Review of your supporting documentation, where relevant, for accuracy and completeness.
- Correct completion of the special forms for RNE applications, and writing of the covering letter (in Spanish) you will need to file as part of the application.
- Customized checklist of documents you’ll need to carry and present when you attend the immigration office in Mexico.
- Detailed instructions/guidance about where to go and what to do when you arrive at the immigration office to file.
