We will attempt to answer commonly asked questions about Renting Real Estate in Mexico.
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.
Just recently, I was made aware of an Instagram post by a German Citizen, who had been detained in the Cancun Immigration Detention Center for 6 days and deported back to his Country. He shared his experience and was accusing Mexico of being corrupt by giving less days on his FMM to make money. He also shed light on the fact that he is not the only person being detained for long periods of time awaiting deportation. He mentioned Americans and Europeans that were being detained with him that had been in the facility 6 months.
In this video I am going to use his experience to help explain why he was detained and dispel some of the myths still being perpetuated by some individuals on social media claiming that this is all fake news. I am also using this situation as an example of what can happen to you if you overstay your tourist FMM. I also want to use this as an example of what conditions you may encounter if your are detained by immigration weather it be that you overstayed your visa or are detained for a short period of time because you are not carrying your original immigration documents on you.
I will also be providing some tips so that hopefully you can avoid putting yourself in this individuals situation.
There has been a lot of talk lately about the financial solvency requirements for residency going up drastically in 2022. This along with people facing immigration issues getting 180 day tourist permits, has left people flooding Mexican consulates to apply for residency. People are facing increased issues getting appointments at Mexican Consulates and some even are booked solid for several months. There is also confusion as to what financial requirements they must meet because they sometimes vary from consulate to consulate.
On another note some popular Mexico Blogs have implied that the financial solvency requirements have gone down from past years due to the adoption of a new formula. Actually, I did a previous video explaining this new formula and how it works. This has caused a lot of confusion. So which one is it? Are they going up or are they going down? It all comes down to my famous answer of “It Depends”. Today, I am going to try to sort through this confusion and answer this question as best I can because truth is that there is no black and white answer. I am also going to try to dispel some misconceptions people may have about the financial solvency requirements here in Mexico.
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.
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.
I recently did a video on the immigration crisis in Mexico which caused some controversy and raised a lot of questions, today I am going to answer some of your questions and dispel some misconception people may have about the Mexican Law,.
First, I will be presenting a very important advisory issued by the United States Embassy in Mexico through their Emergency Alert Information system on their website. So what does this advisory mean? This guidance has been issued reminding United States Citizens concerning their responsibilities and confirms that Mexico is serious in expecting United States Citizens to comply with immigration ID requirements.
This advisory should clarify some of the questions you may have about carrying your original documents with you at all times.
I did a previous video about immigration crackdowns and explained why these crackdowns were taking place and what it means for expats and visitors. That was only the start of what has become a full out immigration crisis here in Mexico. I am going to elaborate on this crisis and discuss what this means for foreigner’s here in Mexico. The immigration rules have changed and immigration isn’t budging!
What is going on? Why has immigration become so strict. Why are Americans and Canadians being deported on a daily basis? Why are people only being given 7 days when they run to border for another 180 day FMM or even worse denied entry? Why won’t immigration accept copies of my residency card, passport or FMM anymore?
I hope to answer this question in this video but bottom line, Mexico is experiencing a major immigration crisis that is getting worse by the minute. Unfortunately Expats and tourist are getting caught up in Mexico’s efforts to get the situation under control.
There has been some confusion lately about the financial requirements for temporary and permanent residency. Several well-known blogs have published articles that the financial requirements for residency have changed and been lowered for 2021. This is partly true but not really. The reason for these articles is because Immigration adopted a new formula for calculating financial requirements. This new formula is called the UMA formula.
This has caused a lot of confusion and misconceptions leading people to believe that they now qualify for residency when in fact they may not. So, what does this mean for those applying for residency? Do I now qualify when I didn’t before? What are the misconceptions?
Well, I’m going to try and answer these questions in this video using temporary residency requirements as an example.
