Is that in the same Plaza as BanComer? If so it will prove to be very convenient and thanks for the heads up Roberto.

If you are fluent in Spanish and very patient you can do it. Just expect several visits.

I'm very fluent in Spanish but prior to obtaining my Mexican citizenship I always paid to have someone else handle it. Just easier.

If any body needs a FM visa let me know I will do it for you for $100 dollars plus all the necesary paperwork, that is how easy it is, however I am bilingual and that is what actually makes it easy!!

Hey Ed, are you expanding on your tour business? I live in RP, contribute to the community, employ locals and pay taxes for my business here. We charge the same amount to handle FM3s, but don't do it "under the table". Being bilingual is just one part of it, Dude. I don't mind fair competition at all, but let's keep it legal.

I found the following and it looks like if one is retired here - receiving Social Security - living full time - that under the new "point" system one could qualify for “Residente Permanente“ immediately. How is anyone else reading it? Rosy, in particuar 
- Would love it if we just had to apply once more. Does anyone have any idea what the fees will be for applying for either Permanent or temp. residente visas?
"A lot of us are wondering about the point system, but don't need to worry about it because of Article 54 which is quoted below and then my translation into English follows:
>>>>>
Artículo 54. Se otorgará la condición de residente permanente al extranjero que se ubique en cualquiera de los siguientes supuestos:
I. Por razones de asilo político, reconocimiento de la condición de refugiado y protección complementaria o por la determinación de apátrida, previo cumplimiento de los requisitos establecidos en esta Ley, su Reglamento y demás disposiciones jurídicas aplicables;
II. Por el derecho a la preservación de la unidad familiar en los supuestos del artículo 55 de esta Ley;
III. Que sean jubilados o pensionados que perciban de un gobierno extranjero o de organismos internacionales o de empresas particulares por servicios prestados en el exterior, un ingreso que les permita vivir en el paí<<<<<<<<<<<<
Article 54: The permanent resident status will be given to WHICHEVER of the the following apply:
I. For political asylum
II. To preserve family unity as noted in article 55 of this law.
III. TO THOSE WHO RECEIVE A PENSION FROM A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT OR AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANISM OR A PRIVATE BUSINESS FOR SERVICES RENDERED WHICH IS SUFFICIENT TO PERMIT THEM TO LIVE IN MEXICO.
I qualify under condition III as do many of us here in México. In fact it would seem that many here who might be able to qualify for the old FM3 should be able to qualify
under condition III.
Am I reading this new law incorrectly? "

Do not worry Rosie, I am not expanding my business and nobody from here will call me to do it anyway, plus if someone does I will send them your way for a referral fee, how about an ice cold Tecate sounds to you?
PS: all business transactions that I do are above the table and very legal in both USA and Mexico

Although I am not a notario I read it just as you translated however I am sure they will need some type of written proof as a bank statement or government ssa letter, as things are going better get that letter from ssa asap before they go down!!

I think that's what most people charge. Understand that doesn't include the immigration fees charged or fines. That amount varies based on whether this is your first time or a renewal and whether you have earnings in Mexico.
Anyone with questions about the new regulations, drop me a line and I'll try to answer them...and Ed, you're on for that Tecate!

Hi Gato, my interpretation is the same as yours, but let me get a definitive (or close to it) answer for you tomorrow.I found the following and it looks like if one is retired here - receiving Social Security - living full time - that under the new "point" system one could qualify for “Residente Permanente“ immediately.

The charges vary. First time applicants pay an extra fee. The cost for those who earn money here is different than for those who don't. The average should cost you about $331 right now. I can't imagine how you ever had to pay $500, though.
