mexijims1 Posted October 9, 2022 Report Share Posted October 9, 2022 The way processes are always changing here, it seems you are better off to be prepared to have an INM form filled out, at least for leaving Mexico. Right now, the one constant seems to be the INM still needs to stamp one half of your INM form to get on the plane leaving Guad (they normally staple it to you boarding pass). Coming back seems to be different story -- returning from US on August 21 they did not take the other half of the INM form . Coming back again from the States on Sept. 24th, American flight attendants passed out INM forms BUT NOT the Customs forms. This time INM DId accept the other half of our form. For now, it seems like they are in transition, so better off to be prepared. We always try to keep extra INM forms on hand as well. To complicate things further, American asked to fill out the INM form online BEFORE your flight leaving Guad. We ignored and it was basically a non-issue since we had the physical INM form filled out with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timjwilson Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 I am looking at the FMM form to fill in on line and for airport selection I do not see Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla nor GDL Guadalajara in the list. Does anyone know if it has some other name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted October 17, 2022 Report Share Posted October 17, 2022 As posted earlier in this thread they are not using the FMM form at the GDL airport at this time. They are stamping passports with a date. That is why you don't see the airport listed for the form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted October 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Returned October 16. INM form required at passport check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Greenwood Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Returned early October…Passport control..( English speaking ) told us…no longer using FMM….gave them back to us …indicated passport stamp only . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Greenwood Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Also arrived back in early October…at Passport Control we were told by an English speaking agent that the FMM form was no longer being used…he returned them to us and said the passport stamp was all that was necessary…….this has also happened to several of our friends. The airlines do still however require the bottom section of the FMM form..( at the moment ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow, I doubt this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Dalziel Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 New FMM procedures are being phased in at certain locations in Mexico. This means some airports are using paperless procedures while other airports are still using paper FMM forms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econ man Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 According to a thread on TOB Guad airport is part of the pilot program for paperless entry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sm1mex Posted October 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 The plane handed out FMM forms on the way to Guadalajara October 16 and immigration took them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timjwilson Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Seems a smattering of some yes, some no. Almost like the info about taking my power wheelchair. Customer service for Alaska Air said it is too big so I took it to the airport to get the answer. Alaska staff said no problem. I'll give up trying online find out about the form when I leave.

Did immigration hand you back a stamped portion of the FMM or did they just discard the whole form that they kept? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I left Guadalajara for Seattle 32 days ago and had to have the FMM. I'm returning tonight with the form in case I have to turn it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 On the 13th I departed GDL-Huston and went to United Airlines counter first, showed them my Apps boarding pass (I checked in earlier using the app) and asked if I needed a stamped FMM card to depart… They looked puzzled and said that the app pass was all I needed… I asked for paper boarding passes too just in case… But they were not interested in anything to do with FMM… When boarding I just scanned my app not needing the paper boarding pass… No one asked me or anyone else for FMM… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 I flew out on October 5th. Guadalajara to Dallas then to Toronto. American Airlines wanted the bottom half of the FMM and I retained the top half just in case. Just walked in the door about a half an hour ago. Immigration took the top half and placed it in a pile but then stamped my Canadian passport. I'd say it's a work in progress and to cover all your bases. I will also say that immigration coming back into Mexico was delightful compared to the nightmare that I went through at Toronto International Terminal 3 when I arrived there.

I returned to Guad last night and did not have to turn in the FMM form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Quillio Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Departed GDL yesterday (2022-11-23) for New York, on Delta. Checked no bags, checked-in online, never went to the counter. Showed my U.S. passport and green card to a Delta gate agent and asked if they needed to do anything special. Nope. LQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Saw a report on Facebook this morning that INM is actively checking people for valid immigration documents and some arrests have been made. Probably a good idea even if picking up someone from there to have your original of your Tourist Visa, Temporal or Permanente with you.
