Requirements TO OBTAIN YOUR FM-T (TEMPORARY VISA)
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW EACH STEP:  
  
It is essential to first obtain an FM-T (temporary visa), good for 180 multiple entry days, and it's obtaineable at either Tijuana or Otay border on the Mexican side, in order to fulfill the current requirements to obtain a final FM-2/3
 
 
  • a). You will need a current U.S. passport.
 
  • b). You need to pay a fee of $ 23 at the border.
 
  • c). An appointment is essential to fulfill all legal 
    requirements.    To make this transaction go more  smoothly, we will need your "Power of Attorney"   

    Remember that   renewals can be filed one
    month  before  the   expiration.   (This   is   to 
    avoid paying penalties.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your first FM-3 has expired and you need one for another 5 year period, you need to take  a new set of photos. Remember, these are special size photos and we recommend a place at Rosarito that takes          the correct ones

We want to emphasize that an appointment is required to handle any NEW or renewal       application (s), way before the expiration date (at least 30 days) to comply with local       immigration rules.

Please call our immigration specialist for every new or renewal applications. This of course will prevent late penalties. Please remember we’re now at our Quinta Plaza shopping center, centrally located. Next to Caliente Race and Sport betting at “Quinta PlazaSte 3-B

 

A COURTESY REMINDER: When you become a legal property owner, it is highly recommended that you keep ALL your utility bill (s) under the current owner’s name plus maintain an FM-3 at least two years. This will help you minimize your capital gains taxes when you ultimately sell your property.

If you have any additional questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call, fax, e-mail, or we’ll even try to squeeze in an unschedule personal visit...
