You do not need a tourist visa, green card, or any immigration status to legally purchase property in the U.S.
Ownership is open to all nationalities, including non-residents, and there are no restrictions on foreign ownership of real estate.
A valid Mexican passport
Proof of funds (for cash purchases) or income/assets (if applying for a U.S. mortgage)
A U.S. ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) — often required for tax purposes
To travel to the U.S. and physically visit or inspect a property, yes — you’ll need a B1/B2 tourist visa.
But to complete the purchase, no travel is required — many Mexican buyers purchase remotely via:
Power of Attorney
Remote Online Notarization
A local representative or agent
As a Mexican citizen, you have full legal access to buy, own, rent, and sell property in the U.S. — without needing to change your immigration status.
