How the 183-day rule works in Mexico
Mexico applies a 183-day calendar year test. Having a primary home in Mexico can also trigger residency.
Calendar year (January to December). This means your day count resets every January 1. Days from the previous year do not carry over.
If you exceed 183 days, Mexico may tax your worldwide income as a tax resident. The exact consequences depend on your personal situation, any applicable tax treaties, and the type of income involved.
