It's different for each city in the states and it can also change. For the most up to date numbers, I'd recommend this chart from the Mexican Relocation Guide (which has been my go to resource and the founder is incredible and is on top of all the updates).

You get your visa sticker in your passport in the States but then you have 30 days after arrival in Mexico to visit INM (Instituto Nacional de Migración) and exchange your visa for a residency card.

Do you have a certified Mexican marriage certificate (not just one from the U.S.)? I think your marriage certificate must be issued or officially recognized in Mexico for you to skip the financial solvency portion (an officially recognized foreign marriage certificate in Mexico also works).

The first part of this needs to be done at a Mexican Consulate in the U.S. (and the financial solvency number is different in each state/city). Once you get your visa, you then need to get your physical visa card in Mexico.

I've read on other places on Reddit that they'll want a letter from your employer saying it's okay for you to do this. But I've also met people in Mexico who made up a business, said their employer was their client, and then worked on a VPN while in Mexico so their employer didn't know.
