I know you can get initial ones at the consulates, then do the renewals where you live. My point was to disagree with Laboron that they are ALL
issued at consulates.

I was just quoting the Consul in San Diego. I asked her why it took only 24 hours here (the Consul) and she said, "All the applications come here."
There are two regional offices of National Immigration, (according to the S.D. Consul) now, one in Cabo and the other in T.J.
I wasn't looking for an argument, I was merely addressing the original question, "What is the fastest way to get an FM3?" I gave the answer.
I also renew my FM 3 at the consul yearly as well. The office of immigration here in Ensenada isn't that friendly and they have a reputation of taking
3-4 weeks. They also require here locally that You have a local Bank account, with a few thousand dollars in it and a letter from them stating your a
"Regular" customer in good standing. None of this is required when you go to the Consul. Like I said earlier, each jurisdiction is different.
I guess if you're a "Newbie" you don't have much credibility.

ensenada
immigration office does not require local account. but it is easier if you have one, because then you do not need a letter from a bank officer (where
you bank in the states) notarized and then notary validated by county recorder and then county recorder's authenticity verified by the secretary of
state with an apostille.
that is a pain

Are you getting the FM3 stamped as a renewal at the consulate, or getting a new one issued each year?

That's great if they do it. The immigration people here all tell me has to be renewed at immigration office for the area you live. This is a major
change. Thanks for the info.

well, between all this and the excellent input over at the BBP board, the consensus is to get it at then phx consulate and then take it to Sta.
Rosalia for validation and payment of bribes.....er, i mean fees.

went to the phx consulate yesterday. very nice people.
asked the guy, who spoke perfect english if i could practice a spanish lesson while we discussed the process.........the man has a great deal of
patience
anyway, he was very clear in that there is no FMT that allows multiple entry by aircraft, comm'l or private - no way around it. Only by auto can you
get a multiple cross for 6 months.
so i got all the app forms and only have to bring back an dhe'll issue it, then i go to Sta. Rosalia and get it activated.
the biggest thing i have to buffaloe around on is they want you to show $1500 a month income for you and wife and it cannot be tied to working, i.e. -
has to show you have that income from sources independent of a job - rental income, investments, annuity, pension - whatever.

Do they require an address in Mexico for the FM3---we would like to get ours, but our place does not have an official address yet.

Interesting. Our applications (original and renewal) have only required bank statements showing deposits. No questions asked about the source of the
funds. No notarization to indicate the authenticity of the statements, either.

Mike, I can send you one of our lease agreements for the house you own here. It brings in 1,500 per month no problem.

Ok, i'm not exactly familiar with all things Baja as most Nomads and i've lurked around the FM3 threads many times. My question: what the heck is an
FM3...does it go fast? Is it for inshore or offshore fishing? is it legal to carry it concealed?

fm3 is a visa so you can live in mexico
there are different attachments to them
some allow you to work
some just live
it allows you to leave the country and
leave stuff behind in mexico without "abandoning" it...
it good for one year at a time
after 5 years of renewals you can reapply again
