Humanitarian Visas are free for those in Mexico including tourists or one with no visa. This is a visa for those needing protection—not for those doing humanitarian work. The applicant must be unable to travel to outside of Mexico and as in so doing the applicant's life would be at risk.
The humanitarian visa requires an examination and letter from the applicant's physician stating those words re: risk as noted. Next, that document is presented to a physician approved by Immigration who issues a very specific letter. In San Miguel de Allende, for example, only one doctor is acceptable to INM and she will send a nurse to the applicant's home for a final evaluation.
Humanitarian visas are renewed annually.
A person with a Humanitarian visa may apply for Temporary or Permanent Resident visa locally based on financials.
