MeToo Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Before the covid-19 shutdown how long did it take to get a permanent residency visa issued? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideSky Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Likely anywhere from 1 month to 3 months; holidays, staffing, computer glitches all play a part; what might be a quick turn around for one person can take a lot longer for the next. No definitive answer. That's assuming that you have already passed step one and received a 'temporary' permanent resident visa from a consulate outside of MX.

Mopsy Posted June 7, 2020 Report Share Posted June 7, 2020 If you are going from temporal to permanente: I went on Thursday, June 4 to the office in Chapala. There was only one other person there. All my papers were in order, she took them and told me I would be contacted in 1-2 weeks (mas o menos) for fingerprints. Usually only one week from fingerprints to new card. But now, who knows. Note: Interesting that I have been on this board since before I moved here 4 years ago and am still considered a 'newbie'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelero Posted September 6, 2020 Report Share Posted September 6, 2020 About 5-6 weeks after visiting my local INM branch office. That's with having either the temporary visa they paste into your passport, or a valid residente temporal. I think they advised me that it could take between 1 week and 3 months.

Sonia Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 When becoming a PR after having been a TR, it takes longer as approval comes from INM in Mexico City. Similarly, when apply with a pre-approved visa from a consulate it takes longer than a renewal as your local INM checks with your point of entry to confirm you entered as per your FMM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
