### How much does an initial immigration consultation cost in Mexico City?
At Carlos Rivera's office in Polanco, Mexico City, an initial legal consultation is MX$1,800, and residency filing representation starts from MX$24,000 plus government fees. The initial session covers eligibility review, required documents, and procedural timelines.

### What is the difference between temporary and permanent residency in Mexico?
Temporary residency authorizes stays of up to four years with renewal options, whereas permanent residency allows indefinite stay and employment authorization without a separate work permit. In Polanco, Carlos Rivera evaluates which category matches each client's background.

### Where does a financial solvency residency application start?
In most cases, residency visas based on economic solvency must be initiated at a Mexican consulate abroad before entering Mexico to complete the residency card exchange (canje) with the INM. Carlos Rivera guides clients through both the consular preparation and the Mexico City filing.

### What is the 30-day 'canje' process after entering Mexico with a residency visa?

### How can a Mexican company sponsor foreign employees for work visas?

### What are the main steps to form a corporation in Mexico?
Forming a Mexican entity such as an S.A. de C.V. or S. de R.L. involves name clearance, drafting bylaws, execution before a public notary, and registration with the Public Registry of Commerce and the tax authority (SAT). Carlos Rivera advises foreign and local shareholders on corporate structuring.

### Do foreign documents require an apostille and certified translation in Mexico?
