Questions INM site doesn't answer about extending residence permit

[RickD]

Thanks a lot for the address and details, that is the place i went first time a year ago but could not find it on any site for some reason and couldn't remember it either.
Cheers!

I am a residente temporal, with what used to be the FM3.
In any case, i can't get through to them, i will go there tomorrow. I just hope they don't handcuff me and put me back on a plane, or i'll have to come back in by road from Guatemala or something. ;-)

Thanks again.
Rick

No way to extend it once you are past the end date: i must start all over again.

However, what i did not know last time (or maybe wasn't in existence) is that one can apply for 1, 2, 3 or 4 years. The cost for 1 year is over 3000 pesos, for 4 years it's close to 8000, so a fair bit cheaper per year, especially when you consider that it goes up every year anyway.
So i will apply for 4 years and hopefully the next application will be for good.

They gave me 60 days to sort out my situation, after which i'd imagine they would deport me.
They also said something along the lines that a renewal would have been possible if i had been out of the country after the expiry date. Not sure i understood that correctly, doesn't seem to make much sense.
