BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS MORE CONVENIENT FOR YOU? DO YOU NEED AN FM3, FM2 OR TOURIST VISA?
MOST OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE FM3S SO IN ORDER TO MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU TO ANSWER THE QUESTION HERE IS SOME INFO:

2010 CHANGES:
- If you already hold an Fm3, you will get a new “plastic card” to substitute your green book.
- You can have a representative do the renewal process, but your precesence to pick up the plastic fm3 is mandatory.
- Fm3s can no longer be used as proof of residence to apply for Mexican citizenship.
SUGGESTIONS:
- If you cannot be in Mexico to pick up your document you may have to cancel altogheter as you must sign paper every year.
- If the only reason you hold an Fm3 is because you have in mind to apply for citizenship after 5 years, this is no longer possible so perhaps you should consider canceling the document.
HOPE YOU FIND THIS USEFUL.
SALUDOS!
