Invest in Mexico as a foreigner:
If you're a foreigner looking to invest in Mexico, here's what you need to know:
-
Foreigners can purchase real estate in Mexico through the "Calvo Clause," an agreement in which they agree to be considered as Mexican nationals with respect to the property.
-
There are two exceptions to this agreement: ejido lands and properties located within the Restricted Zone (100 km along the borders and 50 km along the coasts).
-
To buy property in the Restricted Zone, foreigners can either: a) Establish a Mexican company with foreign investment and include a clause in which shareholders consider themselves Mexican nationals. b) Set up a Restricted Zone trust, which allows foreigners to enjoy property rights without direct ownership.
Key aspects of a Restricted Zone trust include:
-
Calvo Clause: Foreigners agree not to invoke the protection of their governments regarding their rights as trustees.
-
Fiduciary ownership: The trust institution retains the property title during the entire trust term.
-
Reporting requirements: Trustees must inform the trust institution about the fulfillment of the trust's purposes
-
Restricted Zone trusts have a maximum duration of 50 years, which can be extended upon request.
