We inform you that, as of last Monday, September 18, 2023, the National Migration Institute has determined and communicated to users - unofficially - the cessation of the suspension of deadlines for immigration procedures that has been in force since May 2020 by virtue of the health emergency derived from the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19). The above is based on the agreement published in the Official Gazette of the Federation on May 9 of this year, by which the termination of the extraordinary action in matters of general health in the national territory was declared by virtue of the disappearance of the emergency causes that motivated its exercise.
For this reason, temporary residents whose immigration documents have expired and who wish to continue residing in Mexico will no longer be able to request late renewal of the same and, instead, must request regularization of their immigration status in order to be able to continue residing in Mexico.
On the other hand, those notifications of change of address, place of work, marital status, name or nationality that are made outside the 90-day period provided for in article 63 of the Migration Law will again give rise to the imposition of a fine that will range between twenty and one hundred Measurement and Update Units (UMA).
For more information, please contact the immigration advisors at Santamarina and Steta, SC. We remain at your service for any comments or questions that may arise from the above.
