Temp / Perm residency v. tourist card
Brought a car 10 yrs ago and have left it in I/Z full time so I have had an FM3/Temp Res card throughout. Went through the process of getting Mexican plates on the car. Own property. Go back and forth three times within a six month period, spending a total of about 5 mos in I/Z.
Given the cost and time in obtaining a permanent residency card (am now eligible for one) and the hassle at the airport when leaving, I am seriously thinking of turning it in my Temp card and just getting a tourist card each time I go down. I don't need a T/P res. card to sell the vehicle or the condo. Why would I want to get a Perm Res card? Any benefits?
Thanks in advance for your insights.
