Always a good idea, but we all know rules in Mexico tend to flexible or inconsistent. Anyway below is the normal 55 day grace period rule: The post from sonia indicates this may have been extended. I intend to try and clarify this with a consulate before it affect me at year end. I may have a friend go to an INM office and ask as well. I have however no intention to put myself at risk to renew my card. If it comes down to that I will restart the process after covid.If so, I am thinking of taking a monthly larger amount out of my retirement funds for 6 consecutive months (7 to be safe) so I am over the pension income minimum for permanente.
Outside of Mexico with a Temporary Residency card: If you are overseas and your temporary residency card is near its expiry date note that you cannot renew it outside of Mexico. If you cannot return to Mexico before the card expires, you have a maximum of 55 calendar days’ grace after the expiry date on the card to return to Mexico and begin your temporary residency renewal under the regular renewal process. You must file your renewal no more than 5 calendar days after your arrival date in Mexico. We strongly recommend you allow at least 15 days in your scheduling to file the renewal, and ideally, closer to 30 days. Your card must not be more than 60 calendar days past the expiry date when you file.
