Due to failing eyesight, I can no longer answer individual questions. If you have a question that is not answered in these pages, I suggest you post it on MexConnect.
The new INM procedures are now in effect. The old rules are gone. Your current visa remains valid. At it's regular renewal date, you will be welcomed into the new system. My Book is being revised to include the new INM procedures. I don't know when the new edition will be ready The new INM procedures handbook is here. A summary of visa application requirements is here.
Quick first read -- We are sill in the opening zone of confusion, nevertheless, word is coming in from several INM offices that proof of income is not being required of those who are changing from No Inmigrante or Inmigrante to Residente Temporal or Residente Permanente.. Quick first read -- Grandfathering at your next renewal time Inmigrante: An Inmigrante will have that time applied to the new Residente Temporal. If you have 4 years as an Inmigrante, you can go directly to Residente Permanente. No Inmigrante folks will have their time applied to a Residente Temporal. If you have four years, you can go directly to Residente Permanente. Caution -- These rules still seem to be evolving, so the final word must come from your INM office. In the past it was not uncommon for local offices to put their own spin on some of the rules. That has changed. The new procedures are being closely monitored by the INM national office in México City. If you believe your office is being unfair or is misapplying the rules, you are encouraged to report your concerns to the national office.
