🇲🇽 Mexico · Student Visa

Student visa categories, eligibility, required documents, work rights, and application steps.

Mexico’s temporary resident student visa is for foreign nationals whose main purpose is study in institutions belonging to the national education system, normally for stays longer than 180 days.

  • The SRE portal lists study, international-mobility instruments and financial solvency or scholarship/financing evidence as key evidence paths.
  • Students must process the temporary resident student card within 30 calendar days after entering Mexico.
  • Work authorization for student residents requires INM review; do not assume a student visa permits paid work.
