⚠️ A VERY IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR ANYONE WHO HAS VISITED A MEXICAN CONSULATE AND IS ABOUT TO ENTER MEXICO! 🇲🇽

Did you know that the way you enter Mexico can affect your immigration process?

When entering Mexico, make sure to present your passport open to the page containing your Mexican consular visa. Before leaving immigration, verify that the entry stamp is placed directly over the visa sticker and that the words “CANJE” and “30 días” are handwritten on it.

⚠️ If these details are missing or incorrect, your application may not be processed or could experience significant delays.

Please take a moment to verify this before leaving immigration. A small detail at the point of entry can make a big difference in your immigration process

There have been so many Facebook posts about the changes at the Playa del Carmen Immigration Office, so I want to make one thing very clear: these changes are specific to this area and don’t necessarily apply to other cities.

One facilitator says procedures take up to 2 months, another says 2 days. The truth is, no one knows exactly what criteria are being used or why some cases move faster than others.

In my experience, very few clients get their fingerprints done the same day. Most are currently taking around 2.5 weeks. Exit permits are also not guaranteed; the person in charge decides depending on the emergency.

So please, don’t believe anyone who guarantees a specific processing time. We are already looking into why there seem to be such different experiences.

I think the best reference is the people actually going through the process. If you have done a procedure since July 27, please share how long it took you.

I’ve avoided posting because the situation is confusing, and every new post creates dozens of questions.

My advice: trust your facilitator and look at their actual track record. people who constantly have to prove how much better they are than everyone else are often trying to compensate for what they lack.

I’m writing this out of frustration, but also because I genuinely want people to have accurate information not promises.

Dear clients,

As many of you know, the Immigration Office has new requirements, and the documentation requested continues to change. We are also learning and adapting to these updates.

If your residency expires in November 2026 or later, we kindly ask that you contact us about two months before your expiration date. We want to make sure we provide you with accurate information once the requirements are clear. At this time, it is simply too early to know specially if your expiration is 2027 or 2028, as the requirements may change again.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and trust.

I decided to remove my previous post about bank statements because I received hundreds of messages from people in different parts of Mexico, as well as from colleagues, and it has only created confusion and more than hundreds of msgs.

If you are one of my clients, please contact me directly on WhatsApp. I will explain exactly what documents are needed based on your specific case, as requirements may vary.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please, I kindly ask everyone to avoid unnecessary problems when entering Mexico: always make sure to go directly to an immigration officer and avoid using the automated kiosks. You have no idea how many people have lost their residency status because of this very serious mistake

When entering Mexico, make sure to have both your passport and residency card in hand. Please go directly to an immigration officer and ensure that you present your residency card. Verify that your entry stamp is marked “RP” (Permanent Resident) or “RT” (Temporary Resident).

Your passport stamp should never indicate a number of days granted for stay.

Never use the kiosks or automated machines when entering Mexico always speak directly with an immigration officer.
