Is it true? Paper FMM (Immigration Form) being eliminated in Mexico! Setting the record straight!
A very popular facilitator here in Mexico has posted the following message and updated their website. It has gone viral on Facebook Groups! I even received several inquiries just today. Is this true? This goes back to my video on the dangers of social media and relying on only one informational source that I recently published a video on.
I have personally been looking in to this and actually this post is only partially correct at this time. I am gathering the facts and tracking reports as we speak. I will besetting the record straight and explaining the actual facts in this video.
Here is the post that was going viral but has since been taken down: FMM’s being Eliminated – update Please note, the FMM cards are being eliminated starting July 28, 2022. When a person enters Mexico, you will not be issued a FMM. You will have a stamp in your passport and in that stamp will be written the number of days you may be in Mexico. Similarly, when a person has a pre-approved visa from a Mexican consulate, in their passport, a FMM will not be issued and a date will be stamped on the pre-approved visa. As well, it will be written CANJE 30 days. When a TR or PR resident leaves Mexico your passport is stamped with date and written is your visa status and SALIDA. And when entering Mexico, stamped with date, visa status and the word ENTRADA.
