Brisa Del Mar Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Our temporary residency expires in August 2019 and we won't be in the country to apply for permanent at that time. Does anyone know if we can apply to go to permanent prior to leaving in April 2019 or are we just going to be out of luck and have to go back to tourist?

RVGRINGO Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 It seems that you would have known that you would need to be at home in Mexico at the time of your visa renewals, as you have done them before, and certainly for the change to Residente Permanente. If you cannot change your plans, I suggest that you consult with INM to find out if you can make application just before you leave, then get their up to 60 day letter of permission to exit and re-enter. That would seem to be a possible option. Otherwise, your visas would expire outside of Mexico, and if you came back as a tourist, they would certainly be a dead issue, requiring you to go to a Consulate and start all over again; or remain a 180 day tourist. Plan ahead & consult with INM ASAP, or change your travel plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonia Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 You may apply within 30 days of expiration. If it expires when you are out of the country you need to start over at a MX consulate. If you own property in Mexico going back to tourist would not be wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
