I was doing some research on visa renewal information and came across a post on another forum where the person said;

If you got your initial FM3 in the US or Canada, by the way, your renewal date is the date you actually entered Mexico at the border and had your visa first stamped. It is not the date you picked up your new FM3 at the consulate in the US where you got it.

Does anyone know if this is true? I received my visa in the U.S. on December 10th and it was stamped on February 13th which one would be my renewal date?

Update;

Went to INM today, they told me that the visa is valid for 1 year from the date a person arrives into the country, not from the date the visa was issued. I hope this helps anyone else that may have a similar problem.

Thanks for the update...I've seen elsewhere that there is some question as to what kinds of visas can be arranged at Mexican embassies and consulate from outside Mexico, before arriving.
