The following update has been received from corporate immigration specialist Magrath LLP.
Mexico's National Migration Institute published its Manual of Criteria and Migration Procedures on 29 January 2010. The new procedures introduced in the Manual will take effect as of 1 May 2010. Some of the more prominent changes are listed below.
- All forms for tourist, business and technical visitors will be replaced by a single form, to be known as the 'FMM' form
- Business visitor criteria have been redefined
- Consular posts will not be able to issue FM2 or FM3 booklets. They will be permitted to endorse the foreign national's passport with a single entry visa. The foreign national will then be required to obtain an FM2 or FM3 booklet from the National Migration Institute in Mexico within 30 days of arrival
- The Mexican National Migration Institute will issue new FM2 and FM3 booklets
- The requirement to have all change of circumstances, including change in domicile, marital status, etc, annotated on the permits will be abolished. Therefore, migrants can travel in and out of Mexico whilst a change of circumstances application is pending
