Mexico has become a trendy place to start a business. If you wish to start a business in Mexico as a foreigner, you may want to live here. To do so, you must pay a Mexican visa fee once your visa gets approved. Mexican visa fees are stated in Article 8 of the Mexican Fees Law. You will pay these fees at the Mexican consulate or National Migration Institute.
