No you can´t apply for a permanent resident visa only for a temporary resident visa and only for 1 to 4 years. 30 days before a 2 year RT [Residente Temporal] [Temporary Resident] visa expires you can then apply for a permanent resident visa. [Residente Permanente]

Link quote:
"Immediate family members of Mexican Citizens (even grandparents of a Mexican grandchild) qualify immediately for Residente Permanente, and spouses of Mexican citizens qualify with 2 years of Mexican residency. See Vinculo Familiar rules:...."
Not written clearly! Should be written that spouses of Mexican citizens qualify for 2 years on a Residente Temporal visa and THEN qualify for a Residente Permanente visa.
This also means they can get a 4 year Residente Temporal vísa, if they want, and apply after 4 years on a Residente Temporal. The point is first 2 years mínimum on a RT visa before they qualifiy for applying for a RP visa,
Thank you for the info.
Thank you for the clarification.
