sm1mex Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Anyone recently flying to and return from US does immigration still require the INM form to be stamped or only need passport and Visa card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabacone Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Yes. INM form still required at GDL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkrause Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 We flew out of GDL at the beginning of this month and returned via CBX bridge at San Diego. At GDL, the INM office had us fill out just PART of the form, but it was needed. We kept the other half for re-entry since we were coming back a different way. At least for now, DO GO to the INM window to inquire and fill out paperwork before heading to your airline counter or gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted August 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 Ok. Will take one filled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilacion Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 Nope, the form is NOT needed. We just flew to DFW a week or so on AA. Even though we had been to the INM kiosk, AA did not collect our bottom half. And, upon return clearing customs in GDL (we had kept and filled out the top half) INM did not want it and politely tossed it to the side. Seems, we were told later, this is a new pilot program first in GDL. The idea is to place the responsibility upon the airlines to properly check documents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted August 23, 2022 Report Share Posted August 23, 2022 As usual it depends on who is on duty. Jubilacion .. nothing needed this month in GDL hkrause... FMM form needed in GDL this month 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 I did read that the pilot program was taking place at Cancun and will be introduce to all MX point of entry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikechapala Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 entered twice, once through MEX and once through GDL in the last month - both times form needed. So I guess they don't have a steady system yet and are in the trial phase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexijims1 Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 Same as it always has been -- you need to have to go to INM window at the airport and fill out same form. Make sure you put your Temporala or Premanente Visa number at the top of each half of the form. Whatever you do, do not lose the half they give back to you so you can get back into Mexico. Ironically, my spouse just returned and the INM officer at Guad Airport did not keep her bottom half when she returned--- they gave it back with passport and visa. She asked Customs person what to do and they just said, keep it. Some procedures are never the same in Mexico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted August 25, 2022 Report Share Posted August 25, 2022 In any case if you are a Residente Temporal or Residente Permante you need to check with immigration at the airport. If they stamp your passport and say no form ...then no form. If they ask for the form follow their instructions and fill out a form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted August 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 Yes. Take one just to save time if they want the form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexijims1 Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 I think Jubilacion is onto something that is accurate. That was my spouses experience at INM upon return to GDL airport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
