ARIBOY Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Has anyone been there ( main office on Avenida Independencia in Guad.) recently ( this year) to pay the IMSS annual fee ? If so, how are the crowds ? does one still have to be inside and wait in various waiting halls which are very crowded and for about 1-3 hours to finsh all the steps ?? Can one wait outside in the street instead ( and be called when one's turn is up? ) any input on the safety of being there is appreciated.

dcstroker Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 We did ours the end of January. Very easy, maybe 1.5 hrs. total. They have lines set up outside for what you need to have done. Get a number and they'll tell you what line to stand in. Once they call you go upstairs to the window. Really wasn't that crowded and no problem social distancing. Expect to pay more than last year. My wife and I are 72 and it was about 12,000p each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARIBOY Posted March 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Question: artsnob - did Veronica/Lucy do it this year ? how much did they charge ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsnob Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 they have been doing it for me for ten years, i cant remember the charge but it was not alot, i dont have a car, so would have to take taxi, also everything has to be in perfect Spanish, They were a bargain, call them they speak English and they will tell you what you want to know...

You need to be there at 7AM They will come out about 7:45 to hand out the tickets for the department you need. Then you will be in a socially distanced line for your department. I was 3rd in line. for IMSS renewals At 8AM they let 3 of us in at once. I was done and home by 10:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when it was running "normally" I was luckily to getting it done in under 3 hours. Incidentally Veronica has bump up her price considerable because it is taking double her normal time to get things done..she is a super person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the times when we had to waste all morning waiting. To those of you who don't like going to Guadalajara or waiting for any length of time by all means get someone to help you. I've never had a problem driving in Mexico and with my wife being Mexican it admittedly helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARIBOY Posted March 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 To Artsnob: the phone number for Veronica Lucy you posted ( 331 109 5985 ) goes immediately to voicemail. I have tried it for 3 days. Is there an alternate number or email to contact that you may have ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
