FM 2 renewal

Suzie - 11-13-2010 at 11:28 AM

My husband and I are soon to be renewing our FM 2's for the second time. What are the new requirements for the Ensenada area? It seems the requirements differ in the various jurisdictions. I wanted to hear of your experiences before asking the people who take care of this for us each year. Thanks

Dependable, reliable, reasonable. and efficient. Has never let us or any of our friends down in any way. Highly recommended.........give her a call or send her an e-mail for current requirements.

I just handed my stuff [FM2 type] to Carlos Victoria, an independent agent just like Blanca above and it included a copy of my passport photo and info page......new photos, two sets...........soon to expire FM2....latest bank statement [which I put together on my computer although, in the past, they have insisted on bank copies.....what do they know] and 4500 Ps.
I don't know how that price looks next to the competition, but I always look for the easy way out.

Dennis,
What was the required amount of money deposited in your bank account for a husband and wife? There seems to be a discrepancy about this in various locations.
Thanks, Suzie

I don't know, Suzie. I'm solo, but I still don't know. All I do know is I have plenty of income to cover whatever it is.

I think you should call Blanca.

WOW...........307 for two? FM3 or FM2? Agent or no agent?
I'm starting to feel the pain of not paying attention.

FM-3 and si, Cuadros was our agent-

krafty - 11-13-2010 at 05:03 PM

oh, plus an addtl. 200 ps. for pics

Suzie - 11-13-2010 at 05:40 PM

I know the government fee is the same everywhere. Our man charges about the eqiuvalent of $120.00 Dlls each for doing the work. But the income requirement seems excessive compared to what I hear from others on this board. He insists that our bank statement must show at least $3,500.00 in deposits for the month preceding the renewal. ( Same when we were doing our FM3's) Our income varies each month so I have to scramble to transfer money into the account. The reason why I brought this up, was just to see what others are experiencing.

DENNIS - 11-13-2010 at 06:02 PM

Isn't this something? We've discussed this a million times and still can't come up with an answer.
I guess there never is only one answer in Mexico.

Suzie.....

bajaguy - 11-13-2010 at 06:13 PM

Either call or e-mail Blanca......she knows what she is doing

Suzie - 11-13-2010 at 06:19 PM

We are leaving for Mexico tomorrow a.m. and will contact her.
Thanks everyone.
