With the advent of Mexico starting a pilot program at several airports issuing electronic FMMs, people entering the Country are reporting that they receiving 180 days and their passport is being stamped with 180 days.
People have taken to social media to include several blogs and started to imply that Mexican Immigration has now made a new policy of issuing 180 days on everyones FMM automatically.
In this video I will be discussing the new electronic FMM and possible misconceptions that are floating around on social media.
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.
