From San Felipe Immigration office & U.S. Consulate in Calexico, Ca.
NO, you do not need a Mexico drivers license or Mexico plates on your vehicle if you have a PR card. Immigration says all that talk about it is just
another Mexico rumor.

I've said this before. If you keep kicking this dead horse (asking transito or whomever over and over and over and over again) you're gonna get the
answer you're looking for. The system is and has, for the last 20+ years I've been traveling and living here, always worked fine. Keep kicking it
and someone high up is going to see $$$ signs and wake the horse up. If that happens it may be time to go back to a FMM or become illegal. BTW you
can, legally, own property here with only a tourist status. I'm sure there are people here that have tourist status but only renew when they return
to the states. Yes, that makes them illegal immigrants. Think of the $ and hassle you would save if you never dealt with IMN.

Hey, please, don't forget that you MUST file IRS form proclaiming that you own property in Mexico!!
Sound familiar?
My take on most of these issues, as I mentioned earlier, there is usually some attorney or Gringo consultant trying to make a buck by FUD!
FEAR UNCERTAINTY AND DOUBT

Verbal to Eldorado ranch friends that inquired both places.
Yes, they speak Spanish fluently also in case you were wondering? :-) :-)
One from immigration was to the Administrator of HOA EDR & passed on to residents.

I also have same problem and was told by Lolita's by the Pemex in San Felipe to visit the Calexico consulate. The local office can't help us on this.
I will also be going there in the next day or so. If you go there please let us know hat they tell you. |
Consulate first, then the rest must be completed in mexico. In my case 2 trips to the consulate, 2 tripa to ensenada, on the second trip receive
permanente residence cards.

I went to the Consulate in Calexico again with all the documents that they had asked for in November. The person at the Consulate was not interested
in any of them except for my bank statements and copies of my passport.  They
didn't accept the bank statements that showed 3-4 thousand dollars per month of deposits. They wanted to see where they came from. I told them they
were direct deposits for consulting fees that I receive, still the answer was no. I explained that I am not the typical retired person that receives a
pension or social security so I don't know how else to prove that I am financially solvent. She said that if I could show investments totaling
$125,000 dollars for 12 months , that would work. I mentioned that I had brought in copies of my savings in November which showed just that, and that
they had refused to accept them then. She said the Consulate had changed personnel since then and the rules had changed...

You should try again, wear nice clothes, be formal and polite and say you are retired and receive payments as well as continuing consulting. Try
printing a statement with just deposits exceeding the amount required, it should seem regular and show a consistent balance in your account. Be polite
regardless, and be willing to go back as often as required and show income statements requested.
There is some language that PR is for retired people, but you can also qualify with adequate investment/income. Do not be discouraged and consider
printing the whole book of immigration law plus 'lineamientos' guide hints published subsequently available at Rolly's site or Mexconnect forums, read
the translation to english and be sure you know how you qualify. Just carry that will be helpful and help make your point. Say I qualify under rule #8
or whatever.
Add to that your ability to speak spanish, your cultural interest and knowledge, speak about the country with knowledge, name people in politics and
history and discuss geography, once you add it up they won't be able to refuse. Your professional background is a big issue, science or computer
programming or engineering helps.
Understand that people in the consulate do have the authority but are often unfamiliar with Mexico today and uncertain and need some clear info from
you, there are many levels of employees and the now who knows might not be there at the moment you arrive so find out who is in charge for real and
speak to them formally.
