There hasn't been an FM3 for about 3 years. It is now residente temporal. I wont get into that as it is very confusing and not many on this forum have that permit nor should anyone with an RV that returns North have this immigration form. Here is a cut and paste from a good source. This person has written about immigration policies for years and is considered an expert.
"Visitante: 6 Types: Non-Working Visitors (tourist), Working Visitors, and Visitors for Adoptions, Humanitarian, etc. 180 day limit. See Chapter 2, Article 52, Items I – VI of the Law for descriptions of all 6 types. At any point while the Visitante permit is valid, the foreigner can go to an INM border office, surrender their “old” Visitante permit, and get a “new” Visitante permit, to give them another 180 days of time permitted in Mexico."
Note that Turtle Toad is correct about getting a new permit before the old one has expired. However being as they do not check to see if you have an expired permisso one could simply walk into the office and get a new one. That could change in the near future.
Turtle Toad: I am sorry to hear you are hanging up the keys. You will be missed.
