 |

Hi, I had to come back to the States and while here my work visa (FM 1 Independent) expired. Can I just renew it when I return or do I have to start all over again?
Thanks for your replies |

You can�t renew something that is expired. You have to start all over again, but since the renewel process is pretty much the same as getting a new visa, and the cost is the same, it isn�t that different. But hurry. There might be changes coming to the process, and no one (even Migration themselves) knows exactly when, or what, those changes will entail. |

I assume you mean your FM3 expired, right? |

Thanks, I figured I'd have to start over. Just double checking.
I was told it was an FM1 indepentent by one of my bosses and the Mexican consulate. I have my receibos and factura. It's a new type I guess. It's a card like a license. |

| I have one of those new cards too. It's called a No Inmigrante visa, not an FM1, which does not exist anymore. I think that's what a tourist visa used to be called. |

I can't tell from your post how long you've been gone, but if you return within 60 days of an FM2/3 expiration, you can get admitted to Mexico on it, and renew it.
This somewhat surprising result is written into the Mexican Immigration Law, which you can read, online. |
