-- FM-3, FM-2 --- Formas migratorias

FM-3. Changing your immigration status from tourist to resident has never been easier, especially for retired persons with a steady income. Becoming an FM3 no inmigrante rentista means you will be able to live year-round in Mexico without having to go back to your native country every six months. You can still drive your U.S. or Canadian-plated vehicle here legally. And there is no limit to the number of days you must spend in Mexico. Of course you may not participate in paid employment. The FM3 visa is renewable every year for a total of five years. At that time you can either change your status to something more permanent or start another five years with FM3 status. FM-2. Once you upgrade to an FM2 you are considered a Mexican resident and must abide by the same laws wich include cars. This document applies to the IMMIGRANTS. As an immigrant you're not a permanent resident but you are eligible to apply to become an INMIGRADO (permanent resident - for residency in Mexico).

Advantages and Disadvantages of the FM2/FM3

Things you should consider.
1. FM3: As a NON IMMIGRANT you don't acquire residency rights.
2. FM3: You are entitled to leave and enter the country freely.
3. FM2: You must note that as an immigrant you have a restricted number of exits from the country. In the case that you leave the country for more than 18 months in a period of 5 years, you will not be able to apply for the INMIGRADO (permanent resident) status. In case you stay outside the country for more than 2 years you will lose the immigration status of an immigrant.
4. In both cases (as a IMMIGRANT and a NON-IMMIGRANT) the law considers almost the same immigration qualities (Características Migratorias), being able to perform almost the same lawful activities.
5. Both have to be renewed annually. We recommend that you take all the necessary precautions for the term not to expire. You should request the renewal 30 days before the expiration date.

Need Working Visas for Mexico? FM2 or FM3 You will need a permit granted by the ministry of Interior (Secretaría de Gobernación). To obtain one you will need to fulfill certain requirements. According to Mexican Law, foreigners may only perform those activities expressly authorized by the Ministry. You are allowed to perform any activity as long as it's legal and honest. This includes the ability to work in the country. Both as an FM2 or FM3 holder, you may be authorized to perform several activities. These are the most common:
Business or Investor (FM2 or FM3) You may have considered investing in Mexico and therefore you wish to learn about possible investment options. Or, you might just come down to invest, supervise an investment, represent a foreign company or perform certain commercial activities. As an INVESTOR: You must note that there is a minimum investment amount as well as the obligation to demonstrate that the investment is beneficial to the country's development.
Scientists and Techinicians (FM2 OR FM3) In these categories you will have to provide all the documentation that proves to the satisfaction of the authorities that you have the skills and knowledge to perform these activities.
Professionals (FM2 OR FM3) You will have to provide the authorities with all the papers that can prove you have the knowledge and skills to perform the specific professional activities. The applicant must demonstrate that the skills are not met in the workforce in Mexico.
High level management (FM2 OR FM3) If you were appointed as a director to a company or to assume a key position you will need to obtain this immigration permit.
Members of the board (FM3) When you need to attend to a board meeting of one or more corporations, this is the migration status you request to the Mexican authorities.

Staying in Mexico without working?
Students (FM3) Students are admitted for periods of one year for as long as the course lasts. They may not leave the country for more than 120 days every year. Students have to prove to the authorities that they have a regular income to satisfy their needs. The status obtained when applying for the permit is that of a non-immigrant.
Retired (FM2 OR FM3) If you have decided you want to live in Mexico without performing any specific activity you may acquire this immigration status as long as you can prove to the satisfaction of the Mexican authorities that you will live on the income brought from abroad or earned from Mexican-based investments. What about the family?
Family members (FM2 OR FM3) Both as a non-immigrant or an immigrant, your family members may obtain the permit to enter the country as your economic dependants. In such case you will have to provide the authorities with copies of your immigration papers, as well as information that proves your income. Your family members may be able to work or perform any lawful and honest activity whatsoever if they obtain the corresponding permit. The immigration status would then change to any of the abovementioned ones.

Do I need immigration papers while staying in Mexico? According to the Mexican Law all your immigration papers must be in force and the information in them contained must be updated during your stay in the country. In case they expire or the information is not provided to the authorities within 30 days of the event that modifies such information, you will be liable for fines and other penalties. It is highly recommended that you keep this in mind.

Is it hard to get these documents? You may try doing it yourself. Yet, if you are not familiar with the paper work, the Mexican governmental offices, the bureaucracy and especially the language, it would be wise to ask for help.

How much does it cost to obtain my immigration papers? Every procedure generates a cost. Rates change every six months and may be paid for at any bank in Mexico. You will have to fill in certain official forms to make the corresponding payments. These may be requested at any migration office or you can even buy them at a stationary store.

How long does it take to obtain my immigration papers? Be ready to wait for approximately 30 working days before obtaining your immigration papers (FM-2).

- - - FM-3 "Lucrativo" (Lucrative)

If you plan to work in Mexico for a time, you will need to apply for a business permit called a FM3 "Lucrativo". The permit is valid for one year and enables the visitor to live, work and do business in Mexico, provided that certain criteria are met. Details of the form, the fee and the process can be found at the immigration office. The requirements for eligibility for a FM3 "Lucrativo" usually consist of a letter from the employer stating certain facts.

Notary --- Notario

Notary. An individual licensed by a state agency to witness signatures on legal documents in accordance with specific state laws. There are great differences between the United States notary public and Mexican notary public. In the United States the notary public may be the local butcher, the new accounts clerk at the bank, the secretary at the office, or practice any other occupation.
In Mexico, the notary public (notario público) is a public official appointed by the State Governor. He has the capacity to attest and certify documents and business and legal transactions that require authenticity. He also provides for strict security of original records and documents. Some of the requirements for becoming a Mexican notary public are as follows: 1. must be a Mexican citizen; 2. must by thirty-five years of age; 3. have a law degree; 4. three years experience working in a notary public office; 5. must take and pass an examination and 6. if he passes, in time the governor will give him an appointment. There is supposed to be one notary for each 30,000 people.

Comm on Mail to the US
I have heard, that you can leave letters off at Rosa's Cantina, and that some folks traveling North, will pick up mail periodically and drop it off at a US Post Office for mailing. Is that so?

Tis true, however, there is a post office across the street that will process your mail for you. The local service needs your support more than the wooden box in Rosa's Cantina. Use the service provided by the local authorities, that's why it's there.

I know all about the local service. I've lived in Guaymas for several years, and used the downtown P.O. all that time, successfully. Sometimes, though, it takes as long as 3 weeks for a letter to reach California. I was hoping to get this one there a little faster, without having to spend $25. for FedEx, hence my inquiry. I won't be traveling North myself until June. Thanks for the advice.

We always use Rosa's mail box and nothing has ever been lost. I feel that people who pick up mail there on their way North see how important some of the mail is and they are very careful about it. I have use the Mexican post office when some of my friends wanted pretty Mexican stamps...and although the mail does get there most of the time, it usually take weeks. Our family has sent mail and packages via the Mexican mail and the packages were opened and the last time 3 out of 5 items were stolen! Last Christmas, one of our sons sent a package via DHL. It got here within 4 days...but I had to pay $60.00 US to retrieve it!

I will never use Rosas, three different times I have had mail never get there. I always use the Mexican Mail and never have had a problem.
