Breaking News!!! Official FMM Travel Guide Released by Mexican Immigration on Facebook!

I know that there has been a lot of confusion lately with obtaining a visitors FMM when entering Mexico. Just yesterday INM officially released a travel guide on their Facebook Page outlining the requirements for obtaining a tourist FMM. Although this guide was actually published on the INM website on June 29th 2021, INM just finished publishing it on their official Facebook page.

The guide is in Spanish but In this video, I am going to go over this Official INM guide in detail.

Hopefully this is the beginning of a more consistent policy on the issuances of tourist FMMs.

Is this Mexico Immigration Crisis really being blown out of proportion? Let’s talk about it!

Just recently there has been a lot of confusion about what is going on in Mexico concerning immigration.  Are Americans and Canadians getting deported? Yes.  Do I really need to carry my original immigration documents with me? Yes.  Have some people been able to get away with showing copies of their documents? Yes.  Have people been denied entry or given less than 180 days when doing border runs to renew their tourist FMM? Yes.  Have people been able to get another 180-day FMM when doing border runs? Yes.  Have tourist been issued less time than requested when arriving at the airport on their FMM?  Yes.  Have some tourist at the airport gotten the amount of days they requested with no problems? Yes.

Sounds confusing right?  What I just said is full of contradictions wasn’t it.  So, which one is it?  Sounds like you’re blowing this out of proportion.  Well, the answer to all these questions are not black and white and I’m going to try to sift through all this confusion and hopefully this will leave you with some useful information that will help you to be better prepared when you come to México.
