- The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.

You live in Mexico on another passport?
The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Mexico but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.
