  1. Mexican voter registration and national identification card.
  2. I recently ordered the Artemis Fowl 8-book series as a Christmas gift for our gardener's grandson, who has developed a love of reading. The order arrived in English, instead of the Spanish editions I selected. If you have English-speaking grandsons (this is a VERY popular series for boys, ages 8-12) who are coming for Christmas and you'd like to have them, please message me. Otherwise, I'll donate to Wilkes.
  3. Dr. Martha Medina on the corner of Constitución and Ramón Corona is an endodontist who brings in from Guadalajara a terrific periodontist on Tuesdays, Dr. Javier Vásquez Vásquez. Spouse is starting on third implant with him and most highly recommends them both. Tel 376-766-4503
  4. Yes, "called" via the Uber app to pick me up from auto dealership and they brought me back. About $800 mid-morning, on a Friday.
  5. I understand that; however, if someone has had to get a new passport as did I, s/he may encounter the issue I did. The feds couldn't help me; it was only by having a copy of my own prior (and canceled/replaced) passport did I solve the riddle on my own. Otherwise, this would have been a derailing step.
  6. I needed the local one (in Chapala; I remember the fee being an odd amount, something like $116mx?) and the federal one is from CDMX. I was initially denied the federal as Mexico's records showed me with two foreign passports: technically correct because over the years I had to have my foreign passport renewed and the Mexico computer records showed both. Even with the dates showing one passport was a replacement due to expiry, they wouldn't budge. I had to Uber all over the city and pay a substantial sum to get the consulate to write a letter verifying that one passport replaced the other. Still had to return a second trip...the expense of two flights. As they say, "Nothing is ever easy."
  7. Juan is the manager of La Fiesta, which is moving from its current location (and Blue Rose Bistro's original home) on the carretera to its expanded new digs in the old Don Pedro space next to the French Bakery and across the street from the Brew House on the carretera in West Ajijic, just west of the Panteón. Based on a conversation several days ago, I believe Angela, who owns Blue Rose and La Fiesta, is still on track for a soft opening coming up the first week of October. Angela has a post on the facebook restaurant page under Blue Rose Bistro/La Fiesta Restaurant. It's going to be a lovely new spot.
  8. The INE electoral guide for 2024 is quite comprehensive. https://centralelectoral.ine.mx/2023/08/13/plan-integral-y-calendario-del-proceso-electoral-federal-2023-2024/ 2 de junio. Elección de senadurías, diputaciones y presidente de México
  9. Plaza Patria is a great location for passports--there is a very on-the-ball woman there who sets the lines, pre-checks docs, and brings organization to an otherwise chaotic governmental facility. It's a wait, for sure, but impressively organized. And you can go to City Market, restaurante Chai, Dairy Queen, and other jewels while you are there!
  10. Throttled here in W Ajijic, but we do have service. I guess I shouldn't complain.
  11. The law has changed several times since the mid-1950s. Most recently, in 1998, Mexico permits Mexican citizens to have more than one (Mexican nationality). As for renouncing other citizenships, I asked and was told that the distinction applies to being on Mexican soil. As a Mexican within Mexico, you abide by the laws and benefits, and cannot claim another. So, break a Mexican law as a dual citizen, means you are treated as a Mexican citizen. Here's the text: Desde 1998 la Ley de Nacionalidad de México permite que las personas mexicanas cuenten con otra nacionalidad además de la mexicana. Este hecho reviste gran relevancia porque, en efecto, la doble (o múltiple) nacionalidad implica una ampliación de derechos para la persona que cuenta con ella.
  12. We had no issues this weekend with the HSBC ATMs. The screens have been updated with 4/c background images but the prompts are in the same order, same buttons, as before.
  13. I see Hematologist. Dr. Ana Isabel González Moncada at Quality Care, in conjunction with my primary in TX. I like her very much. She usually schedules once weekly. Her direct email is dra.anamoncada@gmail.com
  14. $16.945 at noon today in Ajijic.

    Casa Treeskel

    Their salmon and steaks are really good; the sandwich offerings are a nice option for smaller portions but the tapas, IMO, aren't a reason to go. The owners are delightful and accommodating and the garden setting is very pretty. Limited parking in front of the restaurant.

    M&J pizza

    Short answer is No. Longer/background answer: Josué "Josh" split from Moisés (the original M and J team that were at Perry's for a time) and opened his own place in Bugambilias, where the cinema delivery business was supposed to justify the move and location. It didn't and Covid and slow foot traffic caused him to move for a few months southwest past the French Bakery about a block and a half, during which time he and Moisés did reconcile for a bit and resume working together. That location was very tough for most to patronize and, despite their join attempts to have some indoor seating for clients beyond take-out pizzas (and they also had delivery issues), the location closed. I saw Josh several months ago crossing the carretera but, despite promises to reach out to me wherever he lands, he has not. Juan, who was just a kid and now is a man, bought into M&J when they were off of Javier Mina and I still see him at Popeye's, where that pizza oven and business are still up and going.
  17. We have IPTV (your can subscribe on your own, if you want to cut out a provider) and love it, except that under most circumstances we cannot record. However, since we have all the broadcast channels on it, we can go to another affiliate and watch the programming at that time. Series show under the "Series" icon and new episodes post sometime after air time (seems to depend on the show, sometimes a week later, if you want to catch up or binge. We also pay separately for Netflix and Prime, so we don't miss anything we want to watch.
  18. If you don't have a separate document that is solely RFC, you don't have a copy of your RFC document--you only have a document that shows your RFC number. A Constancia sits "on top" of your CURP and RFC and verifies that SAT confirmed the legitimacy of both document numbers assigned to you, so a Constancia shows your CURP, RFC, and registration ID number in the SAT system to the right of the box and next to your QR code. Did the papelería have you go through the visual, signature, and oral-reading prompts? Did they give you your own login and password to reprint your Constancia when you will need to? The Constancia (as do many Mexican documents, including birth certificates) have an expiry date of 30 days from the issue date printed on them (see the box under the document title CONSTANCIA DE SITUACION FISCAL). To reprint, you have to be able to log in to your very own account on SAT with your user ID and password, which you select during the preregistration step. (The process for a Constancia is twofold: pre-application and approval by SAT after review, then setup of your SAT account and printing of your Constancia. Sometimes this takes a day or two.) If you don't have the aforementioned information to get into your account and to reprint, you're likely going to have to do the process over when your Constancia expires, as have several people I know who chose this workaround route, rather than fully complete the process through SAT.
  19. I followed the link, but lo and behold...it directs you to a SAT office to complete the RFC after a cursory "preregistration with a CURP." Estimado contribuyente para efectos de realizar su trámite de inscripción al RFC, lo invitamos a acudir a cualquiera de las oficinas del SAT, cumpliendo los requisitos previstos en las fichas de trámite contenidas en el Anexo 1-A de la Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal vigente.
  20. You'll need a constancia to receive a factura for any reimbursement or receipt, such as for medical expenses, reimbursement from insurance companies, to open or update banking information, to open a line of credit, for a utility. In addition to CFE, Telmex wanted a copy, as did BBVA, Multiva, auto and medical insurance providers.
