Since I can no longer go back
and pull up her quotes easily, check out post # 1 by this "expert" and then check out #9 by this expert. If you give a rats arse which I don't.
It is late.

Thank you Ellen for the information. I have only traveled in Baja (FM-T), but was wondering about living and working there some day. I did not know
there was two FM-3s... I wonder why they don't just make one of them an FM-4??? Too simple, I guess!
Yes, registering a name (even a fake one) makes anyone more credible than just posting as Anonymous. Thank you again!

Well ...now thats all settled!!
Thank you both for the info....not to stir things up any more...does one need to file for a new working FM3 everytime you begin a new job?

Well, I think that was answered in the 10th post in this thread:
"Assuming that Smugla has proof of monthly income of approx 1000-1500 US he can get an FM3 which can be later converted to a working FM3; however, you
have to have a JOB before you can get a working FM3..i.e. the FM3 is tied to a particular place of employment. If you get a job at the Hilton and
later switch to Pueblo Bonito, you have to go to immigration and get it changed"

This is hysterical
yes, thank you ellen hahahahahahahaha
Go to immigration first and get your FM3. Then, get a letter from your employer stating your job or, if you are starting a business, you need a letter
from the judicial.
There is no such thing as having 2 FM3's. That information is wrong and plain and simply speaking, not true.
Last year it cost $135.00 for my work permit to be stamped and stated in my (one and only) FM3 regarding what I would be doing.
It has been the same every year and unless Rosarito is different than everywhere else in Mexico, that's the way it is!
Sheesh!

I did not say he would have two FM3s. I said there were two types of FM3s, and actually there are more than that..student, scientific, artist are some
other categories.
Smugla, get the job, your employer will assist you in getting the FM3. If you change jobs it will have to be changed with immigration.
Why would he want to get a "rentista" FM3, having to prove income from his home country and then spend the 150US or so in addition to the cost of the
rentista FM3 to convert it to a working FM3? He would pay twice. JR if you have had working papers for a long time, perhaps you have forgotten the
process. What you are suggesting is not correct.

Hmmmm, very confused...
but perhaps this is a Norte vs. Sur (North v. South) kind of thing.
No civil war, please! 
Anyway, I would like to validate JR without dissing Ellen.
I live in Baja Norte on an FM3 Rentista and have the appropriate work amendment (I was working for an ISO 9000 registrar, but now I'm not, that's a
whole other story). The fee is approximately $135, renewed every year.
I have never heard of two different kinds of FM3's, but, when I asked about Baja Sur, I got a lot of "rolled eyes, looking up" and shrugs.
Don't know the real answer.

There is obviously no argueing
with the spitten image of margie.
This nonsense is finished. And I do give you credit for not erasing your posts like miss margie did.
I suggest you go back and read them.

Don\'t fook w/JR..
it'd be hard to believe that there was more than one way to do things in Mexico.
and since he said it was finished, well there you go .......the things I used to make out of bamboo. Might account for a few things

Pardon my misunderstanding
1."You can't get the FM3 until you have the job."
2."The FM3 for working and the FM3 for living (where you have to show a regular income from your home country) are two different things entirely."
3. "however, you have to have a JOB before you can get a working FM3. "
4." You can't get the FM3 until you have the job."
"I said You can't get the WORKING Fm3 without a job. "
Oh, there, that's better. Now I fully understand. Sounds like franko may have the same 2 FM3's that miss ellen has.
Smugla, you can get the job first, which is illegal as you will be employed without an FM3, and they will help you get your FM3 and maybe even pay
for the work permit that will be attached to it.
It is a little more professional (as in getting a job) to show up prepared for the interview. This includes being legal to reside in Mexico by
having your FM3 first.
It costs the same for the work permit either way. I have done it both ways and on top of that, I have a stamp to run my own business down here.
I found it really hard to get my (employer) to do all the work for me since there wasn't any !

Smugla, if you are a top salesman (especially a closer) you WILL land a job selling time shares - you just need to close the sales manager!
But, don't forget to get your FM3's
