Got this off another board and site - proof of residence may be a pain comments .... ----------------------------- THE MEXICAN IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT IS APPLYING NEW STANDARDS TO THE FM PROCESS. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF THE FOLLOWING CHANGES.
PROOF OF ADDRESS - INDIVIDUALS NOT LIVING IN A LARGE ESTABLISHED DEVELOPMENT 1. Leases/rental agreements need to provide all documents in Spanish 2. Proof of payment need to be in Spanish and accompanied with approved hacienda imprinted receipts 3. Leases/rental agreements and receipts must be accompanied with a copy of the makers identification (front and back). It can be either a Mexican federal voter registration card or Mexican passport.No fm will be processed without presenting a copy of this identification. A refusal by any individual to provide identification is a violation of immigration laws. It is incumbent of applicants to apply directly to your local immigration office for redress if any landlord refuses to supply the required identification, as your fm will not be processed, be subject to fines and/or cancellation. If your residence has electricity and the electric bill is in your name and address listed in your fm is the same as on the electric bill you are excluded from this requirement.
BANK ACCOUNTS – NEW MINIMUM DEPOSIT AMOUNTS !!!!!! 1. FM3 single person – raised to $1,300.00 2. FM3 married couple – raised to $2,000.00 3. FM2 single person – raised to $2,100.00 4. FM2 married couple – raised to $3,200.00 . RENEWAL TIME LIMITS Immigration offices will not longer accept renewals that will expire within one week of the expiration date! They will accept the application; however it will be considered as filing late and be subject to penalties.
Immigration will accept renewal up to thirty (30) days ahead of the expiration date for processing The Mexican government has taken a firmer stance in applying immigration rules and regulations. Please keep in mind, excuses are no longer acceptable. Renewing your immigration documents in a timely manner (being late), whatever the excuse will not lessen the penalties assessed. So keep in mind to renew ON TIME and provide all the documentation that is required. Doing so will make the whole process trouble free and less costly.
