blankletmusic Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 After entering Mexico, I'm told you have 30 days to convert the sticker/stamp in your passport you received from a MX consulate in the US to a residency permit. Chapala Law will convert it for a fee or as an alternative, can you go to Immigration at the Chapala city hall on Wednesdays to get this done within the 30 day time frame? Does this usually require more than one trip to accomplish this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are very helpful and speak some English. It is a simple process and they will help you and it will require more than one trip. Very common procedure at this office. 9am-1pn Monday-Friday I understand you are thinking of doing this next year. Procedures do change from time to time. Here is the location at this time. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Instituto+Nacional+De+Migración+-+INM/@20.2917654,-103.1991113,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipOPoxlykHPGm8QL0crFXDMBlzUUqNYoBY0zt9s3!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipOPoxlykHPGm8QL0crFXDMBlzUUqNYoBY0zt9s3%3Dw86-h114-k-no!7i3120!8i4160!4m7!3m6!1s0x842f40cf6583e42f:0x21379d7d9f89286a!8m2!3d20.2919317!4d-103.1990785!10e5!16s%2Fg%2F11fxzskmwy?entry=ttu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this relatively easy to do within the alloted 30 day window as I was quoted about 4,000 pesos (if memory serves) to do this by a law firm in Chapala. Thank you for the Google map.

Easiest $4000 they will make. No need to pay anyone to do it for you. You have will have done the hard part at the consulate where you live. Still planning on maybe in 2025?

Things change in Mexico all the time especially with new administrations... There will be a new federal government after September 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
