A Mexican residence permit without the right to work can be obtained by proving a good financial status, as well as after purchasing real estate. There is a minimum amount that must be invested in real estate, but it is constantly changing. In April 2018, the required level stopped at $ 174 thousand.
As for the visa regime, everything is simple here. Even without real estate, citizens of Russia, Ukraine and Turkey can visit Mexico with an electronic permit, which is issued free of charge and in just a few minutes. It gives the right to stay in the country for up to 180 days with a single entry.
Subject to certain conditions, citizens of Russia, Belarus, Armenia or any other country do not need either a multiple-entry consular visa or an electronic permit to enter Mexico.
Any owner of real estate, including foreigners, must pay taxes upon purchase and sale, as well as an annual property tax and a tax on income from rent. The amount of taxes is the same as for Mexican citizens.
