This VIP LIVE answered so many important questions for everyone considering a move to Mexico. I look forward to these lives every month. Thank you Cartess & Kim. 👍🏾
Thank you , very good information!!😊Is this to start residency? So you don’t get in trouble for letting your vista expire? when should you go over to start residency once visa expires?
Go immediately once your 'tourist visa' expires. Reach out to Valeria and they can take you through the process. The temporary resident visa is good for 4-years after you get it. And you can roll into permanent resident after those four-years..
When we did it a few months ago it was about $11,000 pesos. That included a fine we had to pay for expired visa. They handed out a 4 year temp. Don’t have to see them for 4 years and when we go back it turns into permanent. I don’t know what the fees are for 2024. I’ll ask Valeria to send me a breakdown of immigration’s fees!
Valeria just sent me the fee schedule for 2024: Here are the 2024 government fees for the special residency program: • Application fee: $1,702 MXN. • Penalty fee: $2,171 MXN. • Residency fee (4 years): $11,985 MXN.
I know I am going against the grain, but I don't want a 6 month stamp and then have it expire before I can start this process. I wonder can we tell the people who stamp our visa just 1 week because I done fooled around and enrolled my child in school this Jan. Hoping to come for the 1month summer break.
If your first entry was in 2023, then no, you won't qualify. You'd qualify in 2025 if they continue to extend the program. When you come back into Merida, you'd have to stay and let your 'tourist visa' expire. Arrive sometime in August so it expires around the first part of January 2025 and if the program is active, walk into immigration (at least in Merida) and you leave with a 4-year temp residency.
I came in October 2022 for a month but I don't have a stamp on my passport to prove it, because back then, they gave people entering as a tourist, a card to show upon exiting. I don't have that card any more.
But, if you catch the ADO bus to Belize and come back, they'll stamp your passport with a 10-day expiration which means you don't have to stay in the country for 6 months before you apply for residency. I did it..
@@MrMC-xg8qp The thing about Mexico is they are consistently inconsistent. What works for one, don't work for the other. The guidelines say it has to be a 6-month stamp, but then again, it may be different from State to State, or from person to person. I went in with my daughters to get their residency and they made me see 2 immigration agents (one agent for each of my daughters). One approved the paperwork and got her visa and the other agent sitting right next to me denied my paperwork for my other daughter (literally the same day in the same office within 30-minutes of each other). I had to leave and book appointment with US embassy to get some documents verified. The same darn paperwork was approved by the agent sitting right next to her and they denied it. So, i don't doubt you didn't get it. But rather ensure folks go with what the attorneys suggest to minimize issues. Some of us get lucky and some of us don't. Like I said, they are consistently inconsistent about everything here.
When you arrive in Merida, for example, and you are going thru Immigration, can you tell them you are planning to stay for say, a week, and then stay over, causing the visa to expire and THEN apply for the regularization program? Or do you have to stay for the max...six months...and then apply? Also, do you know if the prior visitation date/time requirement shifts every year? I visited in 2023, so I don't meet the requirement the guest spoke about. I'm wondering if the program is available next year, would the requirement "possibly shift" to a prior entry of 2023 or older.
You need a 6-month stamp to expire. Correct in regards to the 2023 stamp won’t qualify now; but assuming the program continues in 2025, you would qualify. So if u entered around August this year, and let your 6 months expire into the new year (2025), u would qualify.
When we did it a few months ago it was about $11,000 pesos. That included a fine we had to pay for expired visa. They handed out a 4 year temp. Don’t have to see them for 4 years and when we go back it turns into permanent. I don’t know what the fees are for 2024. I’ll ask Valeria to send me a breakdown of immigration’s fees!
If u go through the traditional way to get temp residency in the US, you would have to renew a year later. With this process in Mexico they give u four years. They will ask if u want less less years but it don’t make sense to be going back to see them immigration folks a year later. The process can be a headache at times and I don’t wanna see them any sooner if I don’t have too 😂

So are the steps that simple Show up Show the Previous stamp on the passport Have an expired visa And pay the fees? What about the language test and proof of knowledge of history here? It is that not even a part of this program? lol forgive me I qualify I just need to know what comes next. Maybe I need to book a call with you haha real talk
It's that simple. 4 of us have went this route with ease... If my 21-year old sticks around, I'll enroll her in the next 3 months. No history or language test (that's for those applying for citizenship). Book a call with Valeria and her team. They will get you straight!
Okay. I did ask Valeria, and this was her response: "Technically yes, we have processed people with stamps from 2008, however we depend on their entry existing in the records of the immigration office. They (immigration) have told us that in 2014 they changed the registration system to a more modern one, and it is possible that some previous records they had no longer exist"
I got an FM2 in 2008 when I lived here for 13 years. I realize that's no longer valid, but is it valid for the Regualization program now in 2024? I really need to talk to this woman!

So how much is it to apply and how much is it to essentially get your four year legal permanent residency status?
Thank you , very good information!!😊Is this to start residency? So you don’t get in trouble for letting your vista expire? when should you go over to start residency once visa expires?

Cost of this program? How long is the residency? Can you leave Mexico if you are approved and visit other countries?

I have been to Mexico but it been a few years.
If it's been in the last few years you should be good

It must be a 6-month stamp to qualify. ANything less than 6-month and it won't work.
@@MoveAbroadandThriveJust reading this and seeing you already answered my same question
Thank yall. We left about 3 months ago. Should have stayed put.
I asked the immigration agent for less days - he smiled, wrote 180 and sent me on my way
@@hassavocadoaddictsanonymous Mercy 😆
So what about 2023 or 2024 visits? When will those count?
I was wondering the same thing.
If your first entry was in 2023, then no, you won't qualify. You'd qualify in 2025 if they continue to extend the program.

I just saw that your income needs to be $293,000 please tell me its a lie
But, if you catch the ADO bus to Belize and come back, they'll stamp your passport with a 10-day expiration which means you don't have to stay in the country for 6 months before you apply for residency. I did it..
Immigration will only approve you for this RNE visa with a 6-month expired visa. If u get a 10-day expiration, u won't qualify for the program.
@@MoveAbroadandThrive I HAVE MY TEMP RESIDENCY and did it the way I explained.

Hey maybe make your own video about this?
Hey Cartess! If I visited in 2005, would I still be eligible for this program?
If I got married/changed my name can I include a marriage certificate with my old passport to show my prior visits?
Don't try to do this on your own. You will be sorry

Hi, you have Valerie's contact?
Don't do it on your own
We tried. Just don't do it. Get professional help.
Were you in Merida or somewhere else? I'm in Queretaro
I went to mexico only one time before for five days in 2013, would that count towards getting regularization?
I know she specified 2015 in the video, I will ask her.
