I have a PERMANENT RESIDENT VISA for Mexico...

I wanted to ask other teachers living in Mexico... Can I work at a physical school if I have a PERMANENT RESIDENT VISA for Mexico without leaving the country to Mexico for a 'working visa?' Or, does a PERMANENT RESIDENT VISA for Mexico not change anything and if I work at a physical school it would be the same process everyone else has to do that is a foreigner?

thanks

Two years ago you just had to go to IMN and register a change in activity. You should do this within 90 days. There was no cost, but the school needs to have it's "expidiente basico" up-to-date at the local IMN.

A permanent resident visa should allow you unlimited working rights anywhere in Mexico. You also require no sponsorship from employers - you're as free to work as a Mexican citizen. I assume you're married to a Mexican citizen - is that how you qualify for a PRV? If yes - you have complete work freedom.

What MotherF said. And FYI, living in Mexico legally for a specific period of time qualifies a person for permanent status, not necessary to be married to a national.

Right, sorry, I was making reference to davidmsgi's comment/question.
