Common immigration questions.
No. If you manage your company from abroad and don’t live in Mexico, you don’t need a visa. Tally handles all in-person requirements on your behalf. You only need immigration support if you plan to relocate or visit frequently for operational reasons.
Temporary resident visas typically take 4–8 weeks from application to approval. Work visas may take 6–12 weeks due to employer authorization requirements. Business visitor FMMs are issued on arrival.
US citizens can enter Mexico visa-free for up to 180 days as a business visitor (FMM). However, this does not authorize employment. If you plan to work or live in Mexico, you need a temporary resident visa.
Work visas must be sponsored by your Mexican entity (the company we form for you), not by Tally. We handle all the documentation and INM filing on behalf of your company as the employer.

Employer Constancy $500 USD. Mexican visa (FM3) $600 USD. Full process management included.
