About the webinar

Living in Mexico without being sure of your immigration status, or planning a move here, raises questions that are best settled early: which immigration status fits your situation, what the requirements are, and which mistakes to avoid.

In this free 60-minute webinar, Martín Morfín, Founder of Common Ground, gives a clear, practical overview of Mexico’s immigration rules for foreigners, whether you’re planning a move or already live here. You can submit your questions in writing before or during the event in the Q&A tab in Microsoft Teams.

Can’t make it live? Register anyway: after the session we’ll post the recording on this page, so you can keep learning what living in Mexico legally takes.
