At BlackBox we have taken a humanistic approach to assist clients in all aspects of the immigration procedure; basically, we take care of everything.

We have helped many entrepreneurs that migrate to Mexico and Latin America to launch their Startups obtain their Business/Work Visas and also their Permanent Resident Visas. 


 Our legal expertise and experience in immigration matters will allow your Mexican Startup company to be authorized (by the Mexican government) to act as an “immigration sponsor” for Work Visas (hence, allowing it to request the Visas for the members of the Startup that require one).


Some things to consider when relocating to Mexico: 

  • With a few exceptions, a Mexican Visa cannot be authorized within Mexican territory; you need to have an interview at a Mexican consulate outside of Mexico.

  • The Visa card itself is not issued by the Mexican consulate; instead, they process and pre-approve the application and stamp a visa-sticker in your passport.

  • When you arrive to Mexico you have to attend the Immigration Office within 30 days of arrival, and undertake a procedure to obtain the physical Visa card (which is your temporary resident permit).

  • The Business/Work Visa is valid for 1 year initially, and must be timely renewed.

  • After 4 years of holding a temporary resident permit, you can apply for a PERMANENT residency.
