I recommend applying for permanent residency. You can apply for a refund of the tourist tax the airlines add to the cost of your ticket, once you get it.

The INM system is completely computerized and they are tracking foreign nationals as well as Mexican nationals entering and exiting Mexico.

The INM system is completely computerized. There are reports of people being denied tourist visas who habitually enter an re-enter Mexicio on tourist visas within the same calendar year. They have been told to apply for temporary or permanent residency.

Try e-mail-that way your documentation can be reviewed in advance, and you can have everything in place before your appointment, knowing it's exactly what they want.

We are leaving in about 4. Now that we have the list of exactly what we need, we think it will be done by next Wednesday.

You start the process in your home country at a Mexican Consulate. We are fortunate, one is 5 miles away. Better yet, I queried via e-mail as to what we need, and have had a very helpful person walk us through the only semi-complex thing, how to show financial soundness. I started the inquiry yesterday, and now know exactly what we need, and in what form. Now to just get our financial institutions to send us original statements with a seal that shows they are original. Then, just schedule the appointment on line, and go in. Feel free to privately contact me if you'd like more details.

You have to meet the financial requirements and apply at the Mexican consulate closest to your US/Canadian/other home.

In theory, you are only allowed to be in Mexico 180 days every 365 days. However, the system is not computerized (yet) so you can literally have one FMM expire, and get another one.
That's why we are starting the process to get our permanent residency-it will be computerized eventually. The vehicle permit system already is.

Does anyone know how long you have to be out of Mexico before you can re enter?
