TEMPORARY RESIDENCY
RENEWAL
The renewal of the residency is
carried out annually (although
some are approved for up to three
years) before the Immigration
Institute in Mexico, meaning you
do not need to leave the country.
The renewal must be initiated
within 30 calendar days before
the expiration date.
Example: If the card expires on
May 25, you may begin the
renewal process on April 26th.
Even if you renew 20 days in
advance, the expiration date will
remain the same as your original
visa, May 25.
