the on-going FMM permit questions

[mr bill]

Amigo Doyle, forgive me for suggesting this, but it seems you keep asking this question hoping to get the answer that you want instead of "the answer".

You can Google "FMM must leave" and get to this site http://www.mymexicanlawyer.com, where you can scroll down to the heading Visitors and then read the first sentence.

Another good source re the 2012 Immigration changes can be found on yucalandia.com here.

On the practical side why waste however much time with immigration on exit [and getting a No] when it should take no longer then 5 minutes to get a new card on your return?

You ask " Is there a waiting period between FMM cancelation and issue of new permit?" It seems only to be the time it takes to make it over the bridge and back. Bridge times here
