Mexico Visa & Immigration Toolkit

The only visa guide that reflects how US consulates actually calculate income requirements in 2026.

Most Mexico visa guides online still quote the old UMA-based threshold (~$2,000/month). The reality in 2026: most US consulates now calculate using the daily minimum wage — pushing the practical requirement to $4,800–5,300 USD/month. This toolkit explains both bases, tells you how to find out which one your consulate uses, and gives you the complete documentation package for either path.
