A request and application form for a FM-3 permit, for a non-Mexican to be employed at the Mexican location of a company, must be submitted by the employer. The request must be submitted to the National Immigration Institute. All appropriate forms regarding the employer must be submitted with the application. These include proof that the company is registered in Mexico and that all taxes are current. The corporate office, whether in Mexico or outside the country, must send in a letter written in Spanish that states the position to be filled, job description and location of employment. The employee must provide proof of employment, bank statements proving payroll entries, documents of higher education such as transcripts, resume, birth certificate and marriage certificate.
After initial approval comes from the National Immigration Institute, the employee must go to the Mexican consulate with all other paperwork for any family members who will be residing with you in the country. The employee must bring to the consulate passports for all family members residing in Mexico, passport photos, the letter received stating that the work visa application was approved, an application for an entrance visa to Mexico if not already obtained and all appropriate fees.
Once moved, notify the National Immigration Institute that all family members are residing in Mexico and have them list everyone on the National Registry of Foreigners. You have 30 days after moving to get this done.
