Narrative:

Full approach was loaded into FMS after runway change was given. PF called field in sight and pm notified ATC. Visual approach has was given. Crew agreed to activate vectors; and followed 3 degree slope to the final approach fix. This fix will take the aircraft well below the visual approach profile. Pm noticed the low altitude and PF started to level and continued to configure and continued approach. When flying a visual approach; the crew should follow the visual approach profile and not expect every FAF to give an altitude that will allow for a stabilized approach.

Title: Air carrier flight crew reported that the FAF altitude for the VOR DME Runway 25 at MRLB is below 1000 feet AGL and will cause an unstabilized approach if the aircraft is not configured for landing prior to leaving 1300 MSL.
