Americans with the foresight and wherewithal to get ahead of the demand and obtain Mexican residency in 2024 or earlier are fortunate. It can take months to get an appointment with a Mexican consulate, and even with all the required documents and proof of financial solvency, the approval is arbitrary depending on the consulate and the individual in charge.

I cannot speak for the experiences of others. However, I was thoroughly pleased with the functionality and service of the Mexican Consulate in San Diego. On your next trip to Zihuatanejo, you could spend a few days visiting San Diego/Tijuana, schedule an appointment at the Mexican Consulate in San Diego, and then fly direct from Tijuana to Zihuatanejo.

Delighted to hear that! Our experience at the Consulado in Atlanta was also very smooth in 2022. We had our permanent residency visas the same day as the appointment. However, the surge in applicants has created a bottleneck.
