  why not just go for it and change the 5 to a 6 and add a zero.  Use the same color pen and it won't be given a second glance and you won't have to visit immigration just yet.  (If you botch it up too badly you WILL then have to lose it).   Make plans to get work permissions in before the self-granted 60 period has gone by. |  
 Last year when I entered Mexico I got 90 days but my job didn't start until a month or so after that. I decided to go to Guatamala for a week, partly in order to get a new tourist card. But on my way out the immigration guy asked if I was coming back to Mexico at all. I said yes, but that I needed a new card with more time on it. He smiled at me and wrote 180 over the 90!
  I think he charged me 100 pesos. I was a bit worried that it would be a problem when I applied for my FM3, but they never questioned it. However, you'd be better to make it look natural, because this was pretty obvious. |  |
