The FM-2 is more expensive. Also, according to the La Paz office, you are allowed 3 months outside of Mexico per year on an FM-2.

Since in the future I will only need an FMT for short fly in visits,

What do I do with my FM3 ????????

Some have said you have to surrender the FM3 even if it is expireing .....

Where would you do this ?????????

At the consulate in San Diego ?????????

I am interested especially if anyone had done this before ....

You do have to surrender it to Immigration & they'll issue you a letter for a limited amount of time. I did it on my Mothers FM3 when she opted to go back north. The timing wasn't an issue because she was leaving very soon after surrendering her FM3. Check with Immigration for specifics.

I'm renewing my FM3 for the 4th year... and wish to apply for FM2 status and eventually dual citizenship. One problem for my husband and I is he is still working and will be for several more years... So how does the government monitor how much you are out of the country? We never fly into Baja... always drive... is it even feasible to contemplate applying for FM2, knowing that I can't be in country for the amount of time required?

You could probably get by with not reporting out from Baja, but you couldn't go to mainland Mex. with it. The lax immigration enforcement in Baja lets us get by with a lot that the rest of Mexico can't.
