To be clear there is a distinction between a temporary resident visa and a permanent resident visa. Mexican law states the following….Temporary Resident Visa is intended for people who wish to reside in Mexico for more than 180 days but not longer than four years. The visa is approved for one year, and renewed for 1 to 3 years. After four years maximum, you must apply for a Permanent Residence Visa if you wish to stay in Mexico. | -----------------------Re: Immigration Update.. Tourist to Residente New Process.

... one big departure from this, and yes it would be a residente temporal application, is the seeming ability to apply for a full 4 years right off the bat rather than the initial 1 year then the reapplication for a further 3 years as is presently now the norm. No this is not residente permanente, but you will be able to apply for residente permanente after your 4 year temporal expires. Another big change is that 'financials' are not required in this amnesty program.. If there are other quirks or quarks in this please post.. I don't profess to know everything.. One thing I do know, having just applied for and receiving my residente permanente the usual way just this past week, is that CitLalli the gal at the INM office in Melaque is accommodating and helpful. She won't bend the rules, she can't and don't ask, but she tries to make things go smoothly for you.. you don't need a lawyer or advocate. The process isn't that difficult nor onerous. The biggest pain is waiting in the sun at that damn Banamex to pay your fees, I wish they had an account at Intercam where you could do that. | -----------------------Re: Immigration Update..

I gave a residence permanente but had to apply for it at the Mexican Consulate in Denver. Is that no longer the case and when you say no more financials …is that for temporary and/or permanent. That would be great as I have friends in LaManz who couldn’t meet the minimum monthly income. What I don’t understand is if the endgame is a permanent residency visa why not apply for that right out if the gate??? BTW thank you for posting this info Rick. Do you live in LaManzanilla or Melaque? | -----------------------Do your own research here.

I was under the impression that after 4 years as a RT one has the option of applying for either another four years as a RT or go for RP. I think the big issue here is the ability to bring in a car as a RT | -----------------------More related info...

Careful not to go down the rabbit hole here, the information in the links is correct and has been known for some time..but some stuff hasn't been updated. The information I posted is a new option relating to long expired visitors visas originally issued in 2019. This is quite specific.. you have long overstayed your visitors visa, possibly due to COVID... now you have options. There are dozens of situations, most addressed in the links or on the INM page or on the consulate's web pages. Another relatively new option is the ability to renew a 4 year temporal AFTER it's expiration through a process also known as regularization, without having to do a consulate visit. You cannot do this before your temporal is about to expire near the end of it's 4 year term because there is no provision in law to do so. So you go in and renew after it expires and you gone 'irregular'.. first for a 1 year then for another 3 years. A few folks do this instead of going permanente because they are married to their wheels and want to keep them on a valid TIP. I understand you can also do this at a consulate if you are out of Mexico, but the time limitations are a bit different. 55 days instead of 60 from the expiry.. or maybe it's vice versa.. anyway you have some time. Going Permanente from temporal during the 30 day window before expiration is way less hassle though; so long as you are still in Mexico during the 30 days before RT expiration. | -----------------------Re: and more related info...

I was curious about “no financials” as this has been the deal breaker for my young friends who work in the area and don’t make enough to qualify but more importantly work down there illegally for whatever income they do have. | -----------------------Re: and more related info...

Beccistar noted.... I was curious about “no financials” as this has been the deal breaker for my young friends who work in the area and don’t make enough to qualify but more importantly work down there illegally for whatever income they do have. ... your dealing with a completely different set of circumstances. A normal out of country application is way different and applies to a very different grouping of folks. If your 'friends' were down here in Mexico on an expired tourist visa... this is a unique opportunity for them to regularize their unlawful situation, that's really all that's being offered. Whether they can apply for a 'lucrativa', a work permit amendment to the temporal application needs to be explored, but I sure as hell wouldn't be mentioning that activity to the INM agent. But for sure if they were here because of a simple tourist visa expiry; the door to permanency just opened for them if they can scare up the money for the fees. INM waiving the financials requirement kinda makes sense, the rationale probably being 'if they've managed to survive down here all this time' they must have sufficient (out of country) income... well maybe. Mexico is a bit different than most countries. The financials bit is just a guarantee that the applicant has a source of income that is sufficient to support themselves. In other countries.. take Malaysia for example, the financials requirement for the "My Second Home' program are extremely high, as you must deposit in a bank and show proof of bankable assets of at least MYR $350,000 (approximately USD $80,000)... obviously a sum designed to attract only the more well heeled. We should be thankful Mexico makes it relatively easy to come and live here. | -----------------------
