Thank you everyone for your suggestions, it' is very helpful. I hope someday I can return the favor. -D

Good idea Alan. A walk across the boarder is worth saving $276. How is that boarder crossing on foot anyway? About the only border crossing I've done is from Blaine WA to Canada.

Darn.... A round trip to San Diego is $400/USD. I assume there is a fine if I stay in Mexico till the end of the year on the current visa. Any idea what the penalty is? I plan to move on to Brazil in 2019. Thanks, -D

Hello Spencer, I entered Mexico at the end of May 2018 and received a 120 days tourist visa which expires next month. My lease at Lake Chapala terminates at the end of the year. I am retired and would like to stay in Mexico for a year, before deciding on permanent residency. What is the easiest way to extend my visa? Can I walk into Chapala Immigration office, and request an extension? Thanks, Dale
