I've heard there are lawyers who can take care of getting an extension without your leaving the country. This isn't true?

Maybe you should be applying for that open position of Mod...send your resume to the Admin.

Your Social Security number and information is between YOU and the GOVERNMENT only. Do NOT give that information to anyone else.

"I've heard from people". Hmmm. Those people are obviously ill-informed. The tourist visa is max 180 days. There is no process for extensions. There is no "problem", just the immigration laws and policies, which are expected to be respected. You have to leave the country by the time your visa runs out and re-enter.

Only if you are hospitalized or physically unable to travel and have medical verification of same from cedula accredited physicians.

If I were you, I would demand a refund from Chapala.com. How can they charge us such high fees and not book the best experts on the planet? Hmm....

Eleana's on corner of Zaragoza and Aquiles Seradan. Good salsas, great menu, cloth napkins. Beer and wine now and liquor permit applied for. Fits a niche that El Serape long abandoned. Open 7 days, 10-10.

Someone has turned over to us a lost wallet. The owner is Steven Noll. Through some investigating, we have learned that he is currently in the US. If someone knows him and would have US contact information, please e-mail me right away. I think time is of the essence as the wallet has his residency card and he will need this into enter Mexico without loss of status.

Yup! Worthless to those with a memory like mine.

No point values?

I trust the folks at Ajijic Electronics. The problem with paying a year in advance is no one knows when Shaw Direct will start changing channels from the satellites we can receive down here over to the new Satellite Anik G-1 which can not be received this far south of Canada

Intercasa on this board. Spencer McMullen. His cell 331-556-0828. From US, proceeded by 1-52.

Why don't you ask the people at INM ??? They might be able to answer your question....

Sounds like a scam. You don't need to meet with people to continue to get your Social Security. Just be sure to return the letter they send you each year if you use a Mexican address.

Since when???

Ihave a name in the US ,a name in France and a name in Mexico , you do not need to change anything. In Mexico I used my Mexican passport and in France my French passport. On my bank card from the US I signed my married name on the other cards my maiden name.. I had a notario in Mexico draw a paper listing all the names I use and certifying that they all represent me.. and that is t..

Since you have now heard from “people” who say you can extend a 180-day visa without leaving the country and from other “people” who say you can not perhaps it is time to ask an immigration attorney.

Before I explore the process in Mexico, I will just carry my Mexican birth certificate and my Mexican voters card, just in case Mexican officials and airline give me a hard time. I don't think US immigration would care since my US Passport and airline ticket will have the same name.

In the good old days lots of things for cooking and other things were made from cast iron. A Canadian collection on the kitchen wall.

What's being reported is the couple had emailed the owner on Sunday last to let her know they were having to leave because her roof was leaking so badly. They told her they were taking the cat and would care for it until she got home ....the problem was the owner didn't see the email apparently 😞. So the house sitters were not the bad guys.

KFC was one of my cravings. One time, when visiting my mum around 2007, I gave into the craving and stopped at KFC. I bit into it, the grease ran down my chin, I heaved and threw the whole meal in the garbage. Never had it since. Has anyone ever stopped to think how much healthier food is here? I'd pick chicken mole over KFC any day. Twizzlers? No way. Artificial colour, artificial flavour etc. You're way better off without them. http://www.eatingrealfood.com/ingredients-in/strawberry-twizzler/

I guess I've been living in Mexico too long. Can't think of a thing that I miss. When I first arrived in Mexico, there were a LOT of things that I missed but the times they are a changin' and nearly everything that I missed is now available here. I am also willing to try new flavours and presentations. YMMV.

I agree. Blind dogs can manage very well. Their sense of hearing and smell are better than ours and they remember where things are. Don't put your dog through the stress.

You are a gracious gentleman, rafterbr!

We got tourists visa at the airport. I asked for 180 day visas. My question is on getting the 180 day extension. I've heard from people there is a way of getting the extension without leaving Mexico, but can't seem to find information online. Anyone got any links or suggestions of someone to contact to solve this problem?

I spoke with a man this morning and the story is the Government just wants to know if people who live in mexico are still here. I don't much, but it would be nice to know the date, etc.

Which banks in Ajijic accept payment for residency visas?

Walmart. No need to wander once you get there.

Yes he is, the quality of character unfortunately not seen often enough.
