- If you are a temporary resident of Mexico there are very important procedures that you must follow in order to keep your temporary residency until you turn permanent. check this video out in order to see some of those things that you'll need to know as an expat or an immigrant to Mexico who has a temporary residency within the country.
Great information that I hope everyone that has temp residency pays attention to. I’m almost halfway through my four years of temporary residency and I did travel to the US earlier this year to visit family for the first time since having my temporary residency. Many people were trying to tell me I don’t need to get my passport stamped on my way out, but I broke my neck to find the immigration counter and told the guy to please stamp my passport to exit I was also very careful and told, the person at the counter when I was checking back into Mexico that I had temporary residency and had my temporary residency card in my hand showing it to her. I’m a solo female here and worked very hard to get my temporary residency. If I were to lose it, there’s no way I could qualify under the crazy financial requirements.
Good for you! I'm so happy to know that you were able to get what you needed done correctly. Many people don't know the rules even though they're in charge of enforcing them lol.
Great information that not all residents know! When I come back into Mexico as a resident, I usually go straight into the Mexican nationals line rather than the visitors’ line. It’s usually a much shorter and faster line at Cancun Airport and I’ve never been told by the immigration person that I was supposed to line up in the other line. But yes, very important to stop by the Mexican immigration office at your respective terminal before you leave Mexico. I almost missed a flight the first time I flew out of Mexico as a resident because I didn’t know of this step at the time!
Wow, thank you so much for this comment! It will definitely help others to be able to navigate similar situations. Glad everything ended up working out for you also!
Wonderful information!
Thanks, Cindy! 🤠
Excellent video! 🎉
Thank you so much! Happy it helped.
Good reminder!! Just got our temporary residency in April and definitely don’t wanna screw it up traveling back & forth from the US! Take care
So happy to know that the video was helpful! Congratulations!
Muchos gracias, Amigo! My partner and I just watched your GDL dental visit video. Really great video!

@@stuartrichardson9004 thank you my friend! 👊🏽
Hello
👋 Hola Mark‼️
🤔 ...4 or 5 years? A temp residency is max 4 years, at the end of which you can apply for the permanente. I mean, unless you let it expire and then re-apply all over again for a temp, but I have no idea why anyone would want to do this willingly.
"They won't tell you..." why would they? 🤔 it's not their job to hold grow foreigners' hands. Just like the information above, you'd think someone who went through the trouble of applying for residency would understand what the process involves? Both my facilitator and the INM agents reminded me, but this information is on the official Mexican website so I already knew. Not understanding the country's language is not an excuse either 🤔🤷🏼♀️
Yeah, I thought it was four but I said five because a friend of ours told us it was five so just to be safe I said both numbers. At the end of the day it's up to everybody applying to know the amount of years So everyone needs to do their own due diligence and check. Actually, that's not true. It is their job to tell you that you need to get stamped before you leave the country. It is absolutely something that is their responsibility but unfortunately they do not tell you all the time. In fact, many times immigration officers or the people who work for the airlines or at the ports have no idea what the laws are but meanwhile they are in charge of enforcing the laws. I don't believe there was anything said in the video in regards to people's language being an issue so not really sure what you mean by that. At the end of the day I could be wrong but you seem combative for no reason. It is certainly the Mexican government, airline employees and land border employees jobs to know the laws, inform and enforce properly but because they don't it's always recommended that people do their own due diligence and understand what the laws and regulations are as far as travel and residency.
I@@chasingtheAmericanDream I'm just coming from the point of view of a world traveller who's on her 4th language to live in a 5th country: just like the fact that we're always responsible for the contents of our suitcases when we travel, it's also our responsibility to know how to use an protect our official documents. "But, I didn't know, nobody told me!" won't cut it at the border, the police station, the INM office, etc if they find something illegal in our luggage or if our document is compromised...
I do think it's a very good idea to remind residents of these facts as many do in the expats FB groups: the big youtubers like Mexico Relocation Guide, QRPaul and Backpacking Brunette also mentioned this - but they all do it without blaming the host country. It's about educating and empowering people, right? 🫡🤗 I'm still a sub, just commenting!
@@sophiemarcaurele ok great! So happy to know that you're not upset. It's hard to tell when people are being combative or if they're just leaving a genuine comment. Thanks so much for the information for others to benefit from. Hope that I didn't come across in the video as if I was blaming Mexico for something, just bringing out the fact that they may or may not tell people (even though they are supposed to tell you). Thanks again for your wonderful comment! 😄
