I am arriving on Saturday but I can't seem to find any current information on what kind of custom and immigration forms are currently required. I seem to recall filling out an online form in the past.
Thanks

The FMM immigrations form has been discontinued. No more form your passport is stamped with the number of days you are granted. The customs form is passed out on the flight or is available upon arrival.

Spent two weeks in late May and left Zihu in early June. When landed in MX City customs stamped passport. Returned from Zihu to Mexico City for layover to states. Landed in Detroit . Went to custom. Handed officer my passport and was told to look into camera. Officer handed back my passport and said thank you. Put suitcase on conveyer. Waited for layover for flight home. Absolutely no form to fill out whatsoever. Was never given a form. Was never asked to fill out declaration form.

To tack on a bit to this thread:

As a Residente Permanente do I have to go through the procedure when leaving Zihua- meeting/finding the Immigration Officer at the Airport and having him/her 'officially' sign me out?

Yes you still have to go to the Immigration office. No more form they stamp your passport make a copy of your Resident card to turn into the airline. The office is usually staffed now so you don't have to wait or ask for an officer to come help you.

Update on entry requirements.
Arrived on the Air Canada flight Saturday.
Kind of a sh*t show.
No immigration form to fill out thankfully. The Flight attendant informed us as we were landing that we should have filled out an electronic customs form prior to arriving , most hadn’t ,but they would give us paper forms as we deplaned. Was extremely chaotic. Air Canada definitely dropped the ball on this one.

Thanks for this thread. Things just keep changing and overall for the better. 5 of us are coming mid December for a week. The bigger tourist airports get the new tech faster than the smaller ones. Example land in Cancun, PV, or Cabo and at most needed the online customs form. Land in Merida and they made us fill out another customs form to go with the online one we printed. And then had to fill out immigration luggage forms and something else. So I always check before flying. I will have everyone fill out the online form for this trip.
