Mexican Immigration Office Opens

To Serve Expatriates In Rosarito

ROSARITO BEACH, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MEXICO---A branch office of Mexico's department of immigration has opened at Rosarito's City Hall to better serve the area's large and growing expatriate population.

Previously, the nearest office was in Tijuana. The Rosarito office will be open Monday through Friday from 8 to 1. Phone numbers are 661-612-7262 or 661-612-7263.

Through the office people can receive advice and assistance with FM3s, FM2s and other immigration matters. Appointments are available by calling the above numbers or people can simply go to the office.

Immigration officials also welcome presidents of the city's several expatriate groups to contact them for information they can share with their members.

About 8,000 expatriates in Rosarito, primarily from the United States, are registered with immigration. Rosarito Beach Mayor Hugo Torres estimates that about 6,000 are not registered.

"This office is a welcome addition to the city and will make it easier for our residents to receive needed services," Torres said.

"Already, about 10 percent of our population are expatriates and we expect that number to grow significantly in the future as more Baby Boomers retire here,' Torres said.

Rosarito also was the first city in Mexico to establish a Foreign Residents Attention Office to assist expatriates.

Immagration!!

I think it has been there ever since the new city hall opened.

What does a "Foreign Residents Attention Office" do, Ron? Is it a government agency? Do they exist to only assist people with immigration matters? Could they be expanded to other areas of Baja?

Services I am missing? Do you need to sign up for the Red Cross ambulance in advance or something? I get all my papers done at the "palacio" and it's easy. I think they handle everything there now. It's a one stop tramites shop with a horseshoe design to make the run around easier. The taco wagon on the west side corner is killer.

I presume I am one of the 8000 registered- as my FM3 originates here. But why would anyone want my name on their list and why would I want to be on one? And Mr. Mayor- slow down cowboy, the boomer stampede is over... everywhere for now.

I think that is what is happening with the huge tourist decline. Rosartio isn't perceived as specifically dangerous righ now- there are just closer, better and cheaper options for tourists.

Give'm hell, Gull. We want accuracy.

You got it, Mennis.

When Cabron posts, it is never accurate. Big blowhard, with a Mickey Mouse life.

Baja is rid of him, but the board cannot innoculate itself from the virus.
