Thank you everyone for your suggestions, it' is very helpful.  I hope someday I can return the favor.

Good idea Alan.  A walk across the boarder is worth saving $276.  How is that boarder crossing on foot anyway?  About the only border crossing I've done is from Blaine WA to Canada.

Darn.... 

A round trip to San Diego is $400/USD.  I assume there is a fine if I stay in Mexico till the end of the year on the current visa.  Any idea what the penalty is?  I plan to move on to Brazil in 2019.

Thanks,

Hello Spencer,

I entered Mexico at the end of May 2018 and received a 120 days tourist visa which expires next month.  My lease at Lake Chapala terminates at the end of the year.  I am retired and would like to stay in Mexico for a year, before deciding on permanent residency. What is the easiest way to extend my visa?  Can I walk into Chapala Immigration office, and request an extension?  

Thanks,

Dale
