"If your work is all online and all payment is received outside of Mexico, your visa status is not a concern. \n \n\n\n\tTo do any lucrative activity in Mexico, you would need at least a Residente Temporal Visa AND specific permission from INM (Immigration) for that specific position, with support from your INM approved employer, etc.  With a Residente Permanente Visa, you may work in Mexico with simple notification to INM.\n \n\n\n\tConsult with the Mexican Consulate near you. They can give you their requirements in greater detail.  If approved, you will have six months to enter Mexico and then must report to INM within 30 days, with proofs of residence, etc.  INM will complete the process (tramite) within a couple of months, and issue your actual visa card. Note that Residente Permanente are prohibited from having a US, or other foreign vehicle, or operating one in Mexico. So, if you go for that status initially, you should plan ahead.  Otherwise, you may maintain Residente Temporal for 4 years, maximum, and will then transition to Permanente without further proofs; within Mexico. By then, you will have removed your foreign vehicle from Mexico and will have had to replace it with one purchased in Mexico.\n \n\n\n\tNaturally, your exploration trip will be as tourists.\n \n"
