When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Mexico City and New Territories don't overlap on the same weekday. New Territories is 14 hours ahead of Mexico City.
With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:
- 5 PM–8 PM in Mexico City (7 AM–10 AM the next day in New Territories) — suggest 6:00 PM Mexico City (8:00 AM New Territories).
This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
