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 for your reply. I wish more people would explain how different areas in Mexico operate differently. Read More

If you are Renting and don't own any property or have a job in Mexico, you don't need a Temporary Resident status. Just get the 6 month pass and don't worry. If you need proof of residence for other things, go to CFE and ask them to send ... Read More

Renting an apartment as a tourist by Oldladyman
Hi everyone! I'm new here. I haven't arrived in Mexico but will be there at the end of this month and am wondering if it's possible or doable to rent an apartment on a six month tourist card with the intent to leave when it expires and ...
Just a quick Question: How many times can you get a new FMM (6 month Pass) card? Does the Mexican Government monitor this or can I continue to re-new it over and over again? Read More

Gudgrief; Your replies and advise are always so on target! Your understanding of what is needed and where to go for help once having moved to Mexico is very helpful. All the "what if's" and "Buts" that many people ask are ... Read More

Where in Mexico do you live? You can cross the Calif. border in San Ysidro (probably the same as any other border cross) in a car or on foot. Walking takes under 10 minutes and there are busses & taxis 5 minutes away on the Mexican side. I live ... Read More
