New FMM + good news for boaters


This article appeared in the August 5-18 edition of The Log boating and fishing newspaper:
NEW TOURIST CARD FOR MEXICO

By Capt. Pat Rains

Mexico recently began issuing a NEW 180-day Forma Migratoria Multiple or FMM.
Because recreational boaters are normally in Mexico for tourism purposes, not business purposes, this FMM is the form that they should use, according to J.E. Beaulne, an attorney in La Paz.
Like the previous tourist card, the NEW FMM is also good for 180 days, beginning with your arrival in Mexico. The difference is that with the old card the tourist had to leave Mexico before the 180 days expired and get a new one upon re-entry.
The NEW FMM is available free at all ports of entry. A passport that is valid for at least another 6 months is all that is needed to get the NEW FMM re-stamped at any immigration office before the 180 days expire. Boaters who are currently in Mexico with the old card can also get it replaced with the new one at any immigration office.
Working hand-in-hand with Mexico’s innovative Temporary Import Permit (TIP), the new law allows boaters to keep their boats in Mexico for up to 10 consecutive years, and they can be berthed in a marina while they depart the country.

So this NEW FMM is strictly for Boaters? and not part
of the FMM that was started May 1,2010? A boater
in Mex can keep renewing the fmm
without having to leave Mex? Possibly for the 10 yrs
in conjunction with the boat TIP?
Sounds good on paper, wonder if I could use
my Kayak?

I just copied what the article said and I can't interpret what it means to boaters or non-boaters.:yes:
