Jeraldina Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 We got tourists visa at the airport. I asked for 180 day visas. My question is on getting the 180 day extension. I've heard from people there is a way of getting the extension without leaving Mexico, but can't seem to find information online. Anyone got any links or suggestions of someone to contact to solve this problem? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 "I've heard from people". Hmmm. Those people are obviously ill-informed. The tourist visa is max 180 days. There is no process for extensions. There is no "problem", just the immigration laws and policies, which are expected to be respected. You have to leave the country by the time your visa runs out and re-enter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xena Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Since you have now heard from “people” who say you can extend a 180-day visa without leaving the country and from other “people” who say you can not perhaps it is time to ask an immigration attorney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 There were lawyers who said that they could Import a US vehicle at the Guadalajara airport instead of at the border as the law requires several years ago. Some bit, most got burned for 1,000s Caveat Emptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't true? Only if you are hospitalized or physically unable to travel and have medical verification of same from cedula accredited physicians. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeraldina Posted August 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Ah, that explains it. My husband and I went to Ajijic so he could go into a nursing home, while I returned to the US to work. Someone at one of the homes we looked at said it was possible to get his extension without his leaving Mexico. This was last month. I'm back in the US trying to figure out how to arrange his extension before it turns into a crisis. He has a doctor at his Ajijic nursing facility, so the medical certification won't be a problem. If anyone has a suggestion for an attorney to help me with an extension, I'd appreciate a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomgates Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 Intercasa on this board. Spencer McMullen. His cell 331-556-0828. From US, proceeded by 1-52. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I think INM may go to the nursing home, or hospital, to confirm things, and extend the permit. In any event, I am sure that Spencer would be your best choice for assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
