New 2021 Regularization Program (Get legal if you overstayed your tourist visa) Immigration has been offering sporadic programs so that people who have overstayed their tourist visas can become legal. Many of these programs have been limited and come and gone. There is now an effort to offer the program nationwide. Details are still emerging as there is no official publication or law so each office has leeway to make some of their own rules about qualifying. Currently it is available in Jalisco so we can do it in Chapala and Guadalajara and we will nail down the guidelines in the next

Beware of legal frauds and fake attorneys. Only attorneys who have their degree and license (cedula) are able to call themselves attorneys (Abogado or Licenciado en Derecho) and represent you. There is a Federal Cedula and a Jalisco state one, an attorney needs to have both, one young guy is spamming Facebook pages calling himself an attorney and is not, not even sure if he speaks English, a guy gets out of jail in Canada for murder and opens a law office in Ajijic, you can´t make this stuff up but you can run their name in the federal system here https://cedulaprofesionalsep-gob.mx/ and

Traffic is worse, more businesses, more cars, projects like the bike path where some bike lanes are wider than traffic lanes and no bus stops, elimination of parking spaces, a culture of blocking the road or not caring. Get up early or plan to walk everywhere or just be frustrated and if you are old or sick live close to a hospital or call a bike ambulance as no real ambulance will be able to come fast

My office can do it and you will not have to go to Guadalajara

There are 2 Mercado Libre Codes, well I use the Bancomer smart ATMs, first is the convenio or client (Mercado Libre) number 0641375 then there is the specific transaction identifier which is only good for that transaction. To see your Mercado Pago balance log in

I use cash on Mercado Libre to avoid credit card issues. You can choose when you make payment to use your Mercado Pago balance or just pay cash and even then you can pay extra and build credit if you are a frequent purchaser. For example, if I buy a keyboard for $320 pesos I can use my Mercado credit of say $200 and then just deposit $120, or I can pay at the Bancomer ATM and deposit $500 pesos and then will have $180 credit from this purchase which will be added to my Mercado Pago account so the next purchase I will have $380 pesos credit.

If you present a utility bill or bank statement you need all pages as the further pages have the digital signature / bar / QR codes which makes a "copy" an original then validating the black and white copy as a digital original

We send people to the Casas de Bolsa in Ajijic and they are more flexible

A well respected laboratory has had someone clone their name and site to offer Pfizer vaccines and try to collect money from people so beware, FAKE and SCAMMERS

I think prices will fall. More people putting off retirement, rising crime, businesses closing, restrictions on international travel, the dollar getting weaker, the charm of the pueblo being destroyed with tearing down the hills for developments, poorly thought out bike path, infrastructure at capacity. Air BnB will get killed more when they hit the hosts for taxes, the 10% withholding is just that, a withholding and then they can wait and see if the host files taxes and if not then send demand letters for the income tax up to 35% on the rent and then the IVA sales tax of 16% as it wa

Per the 2021 Tax Regulations published in the DOF (Diario Oficial de la Federación), SAT (Mexican tax authority), as a protective measure to prevent fraud and identity theft will be deactivating the passwords of millions of taxpayers who are under the Regimen de Incorporacion Fiscal system (simplified system for small businesses). This can affect your right to file you tax returns, issue facturas and be able to print tax certificates and get information. They claim it is only under three circumstances, 1st, where there is little activity (what does this mean and who decid

Old forms are still valid and the new ones seems to be the current presidential administration updating the forms with their trademark color schemes. There are some very minor updates / changes. The forms are the Forma Migratoria Multiple (FMM) or "Tourist card", the standard temporary and permanent visas and the FEM statistical form for Mexican nationals to fill out when flying out or into the country.

We will confirm, the whole point of me writing this is for each person to investigate their specific case / circumstances and not wait and let it all happen at the airport where it may be too late. Do airlines now not offer the print your boarding pass at home option?
