If I have a Mexican diplomatic passport, can I apply for TN?

The TN visa was created to allow Mexican and Canadian citizens to work temporarily in the United States in certain qualified professions under the terms of the Trade Agreement (formerly NAFTA, currently USMCA).

Under normal conditions, this visa is intended for professionals who use their ordinary passports to prove the eligibility and nationality required. If you have a Mexican diplomatic passport, the situation may be more complex, as these passports are issued to official government representatives and may be linked to diplomatic functions and immunities.

Its use may raise questions about the purpose of the trip and eligibility for the TN visa, which is aimed at typical employment relationships. It is recommended to seek updated information, avoid promises of easy approvals, and consult specialists to ensure compliance with US immigration laws.

Each case is particular, and acting according to official guidelines is essential.
