Mexico

Several immigration fees and reference thresholds are expressed in UMA (Unidad de Medida y Actualización), which is updated once a year and published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación. Amounts denominated in UMA move when the UMA is revised. Verify the current fee schedule before budgeting an application.

Mexico's proof-of-income and savings thresholds for temporary and permanent residency are set as multiples of the national minimum wage, which is revised each year (effective in early January). When the base figure rises, the amounts an applicant must show at the consulate rise with it. Confirm the current consular figures before applying — the multiples, not a fixed peso amount, are what the rule fixes.
