We will attempt to answer commonly asked questions about Renting Real Estate in Mexico.
Recently, I ran across a Facebook post from an Expat Service advising people not to carry their original immigration documents with them. This person further advised individuals to obtain a drivers license and secure your immigration documents at home.
This got me to thinking about all the decisions that I have had to make when moving here to Mexico. I relied heavily on social media to make these decisions.
Reflecting on my experience of moving here and starting a YouTube Channel, I have come to some conclusions that I would like to share about making decisions when moving to Mexico and what role social media plays in making these decisions.
A few days ago the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it is officially ending Title 42 as of May 23, 2022.
The Department of Homeland Security also announced that they will no longer be enforcing title 42 as of May 23, 2022.
So, what is title 42 and what does it have to do with immigration policy here in Mexico? In this video, I am going to explain title 42 and the possible impact it will have on immigration policy and enforcement in Mexico.
I recently did a video with a travel advisory not to travel through Nuevo Laredo due to cartel violence at the time. If you haven’t already, I suggest you watch that video which explains why I issued that advice.
Today I am going to give you an update as promised on the current situation and address some of the comments I received on social media as a result of this video. I will also be giving you some travel tips so that you can ensure a safe and enjoyable trip through Mexico.

On March 13, 2022 Mexican Authorities arrested Juan Trevino also known as “El Huevo”. Juan Trevino is known to be the current leader of the Northeast Cartel operating out of Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Trevino was wanted in the United States and also a United States Citizen. At midnight March 14, 2022, Trevino was deported and handed over to United States authorities. This prompted immediate retaliation and violence which is still currently going on at this time in the city of Nuevo Laredo. US Consulate Employees have been held up inside the consulate for the last 5 days due to the ongoing violence and the United States Consulate has also suffered damage. Since Trevino’s capture there have been over 22 attacks against the military, over 16 road blockades and collateral damage to the United States Consulate in Nuevo Laredo.
Mexican Authorities have sent more that 700 military personnel and four helicopters to secure the area following the attacks and the United States Ports of Entry were even shut down during the height of the fighting.
I am recommending not to travel this route at this time! This route last year was dubbed the Highway of Death! I am releasing this video to warn travelers to stay away from this route at this time just as I did last year in June.
was the first YouTube Channel to cover the emerging immigration situation in several videos since it started almost a year ago. I started by covering the current immigration computer upgrades and plans to curb individuals abusing the Mexican Immigration system by overstaying their visa with little to no recourse and gaining back to back 180 day tourist permits. I know that this met a lot of resistance amongst the YouTube and Facebook community, but I felt it was important to bring this relevant information to the Expat community no matter how unpopular it may have seemed at the time.
Now individuals are facing increased issues when trying to obtain tourist permits when arriving at several airports in Mexico. People are consistently posting their experience of not getting the time they requested or 180 days as expected which a normal practice in the past.
So what can we expect to see from Mexican Immigration in this coming year? In today’s videos I am going to try and break down future immigration trends here in Mexico. I am also going to try to give possible explanations of why this is happening and dispel some myths floating around on social media.
New rules were just released requiring international air travelers arriving in the United States to obtain a negative COVID-19 test within one day of travel.
This order takes effect on Monday December 6, 2021 at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time. Under former rules, vaccinated international air travelers could present a negative test result obtained within three days of their day of departure. Unvaccinated travelers were required to get a negative COVID-19 test within one day of departure.
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.
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.
