How many days can you spend in Mexico?
As a resident, the law sets no limit either way: none of the reasons Mexico’s Migration Law gives for cancelling temporary or permanent residence is time abroad, and a permanent resident card doesn’t expire. Residence ends if you declare that you’re leaving Mexico for good.

Living in Mexico: no limit on time abroad

Mexico: questions and answers.
Does a Mexican permanent resident card expire?
No. A permanent resident card has no expiry date, and time abroad isn’t one of the reasons the Migration Law gives for cancelling residence.
Can I lose Mexican residency by living abroad?
Not for the time abroad itself. Residence is cancelled if you declare that you’re leaving Mexico for good; a temporary resident also has to renew the card on time, in its last 30 days.
How long is a Mexican temporary resident card valid?
1 to 4 years. Renew it in its last 30 days; while it’s valid, the law sets no limit on time abroad.
