I read that whole piece and it appears that if you are a resident of Mexico you better drive a Mexican plated car. I am not sure if being in the "Free Zone" has any affect on this status

Yeah I stole that from https://www.facebook.com/groups/167187996679894/, that flicks posted on here, I don't know how it affects the free zone and what will be the free zone after a couple more months, now that they started taxing Burros.

I wonder if all that stuff is true? It implies, but not explains, that the Mexican visa categories and names have changed, again. Was FMT, FM3, FM2; then Inmigrado and Immigrante; now Permanent and Temporary resident. ??!!?? The bit about the vehicles is interesting also. As is the requirement that FM3 holders are required to apply for Permanent residence after a few years.??

Sorry I don't remember where I saw those number but was reading about permanent resident. Mexico Immigration Guide visas, work, Temporary Resident, Permanent Resident, FM2, FM3, Mexican Citizenship
Has anyone found out more about the requirements of people with the new permanent (or temporary) resident visas?
Specifically about the car license plates and implications for income taxes (Hacienda)? Any other pros / cons to consider?
What about the rules for when you have to report all your entrances / exits to the Mexican border. (Someone told me that you were supposed to do that even with the old FM3 visa, but others have said no.)
If we come to Peñasco for 3 or 4 months per year (and maybe more in future years), which is the best visa to get? At this point we still live in the US. I like to know my options.

I am aware of only a few reasons why you need anything other than a simple tourist visa. If you have income you will need the appropriate visa, a Hacienda number, and an accountant to file the required reports. Up until now the tourist visa sufficed, even for real estate purchases. If you want citizenship you work your way through the appropriate visas. There does not appear to be much benefit for the averge person who acquires the Inmagrado or Inmagrante. There is a whole cottage industry of those assisting applicants, all of whom will recommend that you have one.
I have asked many american people who live here, visit frequently or occasionally and not one has reported that they have ever been asked by anyone to see a Mexican Visa other than when making a real estate purchase. The Tourist Visa has sufficed for that purpose but I have heard recently that is no longer the case.

Did she get her residente permente? DH has been told he has to go to Hermosillo in order to be fingerprinted there! Not sure why.
