Family Reunification visa

Reunite with Your Loved Ones in Mexico

Family is at the heart of life, and the Family Reunification Visa is designed to bring you closer to the people who matter most. This visa allows spouses, children, parents, and other eligible relatives to join their loved ones in Mexico, ensuring that distance no longer stands in the way of family unity.

A Life Together Without Borders

Moving to Mexico under a Family Reunification Visa means more than just living in the same country—it means sharing everyday moments, celebrations, and milestones with those you love. From building a home together to creating lasting memories, this visa makes it possible to strengthen family bonds while enjoying the warmth and culture of Mexico.

Family Reunification Scenarios

 

1. Spouse and Children Applying from Abroad
If your spouse and/or children reside outside Mexico, you can apply for a Family Reunification visa through a Mexican consulate. Important facts include:

 

  • Required documentation: Apostilled and Spanish-translated marriage or birth certificates.

  • Processing timeline: Up to 10 business days, though this may vary by consulate and demand level. 

 

 

2. Marriage in Mexico (Apply from Within the Country)
If you are already in Mexico and married here, you may apply under the “Family Unit” rule by switching from a visitor permit to a residency permit:

 

  • Processing may be quicker, as you avoid applying from your home country.
  • Many applicants complete this without leaving Mexico—some in just a few weeks.

 

Note: Timelines and procedures can vary by consulate and situation—always check with your specific consulate or INM office for the most current requirements.
