When was the last time you did a visa run? The system has changed I've heard. Lots of people being asked if they're living in Mexico after the aduanas read their travel background on the computers using the new system that gives them ... Read More

Thanks for the feedback. It sounds exactly like what I've been avoiding! What about changing locks? How does this work with landlords in Mexico? It seems like their thing is if the previous tenant returned the key, there's nothing to worry ... Read More

Proof of Address Info by Oldladyman
Hi does anyone know if I need to be a permanent resident to get proof of address or is it just a matter of showing them a utility bill or lease? I'm on a tourist visa. Thx!

Thanks but the Sin Limites is not a monthly plan. They told me it's new and there's no way to track it. I can just recharge and supposedly I'll have 500 megas when I recharge, but that's apparently not what happened. I don't like ... Read More
