Instituto Nacional de Migración - 48333 Puerto Vallarta

burocracia Mexico Lindo y querido :( vayan con la idea de pasar horas ahi, no hay comunicacion ni entre ellos, horrible.

Excesiva burocracia y se demoran varias horas en atender. En está ocasión, vine sólo a preguntar por los requisitos para la reposición de mi tarjeta de residente y CLARO q me hicieron esperar como si estuviera haciendo el trámite en cuestión... La información de la página no coincide con los lineamientos de la oficina, tampoco contestan los teléfonos, no entiendo por qué no hacen las cosas más simples para agilizar los trámites... Sólo necesitaba saber qué traer!

Had a great experience... In and out in 30 minutes doing my fingerprints and foto for temporary residency card

Arrived early for this visit but appointments are obviously still first

Went 3 times for temp res. Had all necessary info AND a Mexican wife. Still kept getting rejected. Awful.

Mostly always a queue. Small office but they are good to work with. The key is to have all your paperwork in order first to avoid problems. There are English speakers here.

(1) Use an immigration service company like Lex360 to do all the paperwork, appointments, and in-person representation (2) Get the 0900am first appointment and show up at 0800 as waiting area usually setup outside between 0815 and 0830 (3) Tell attendant when handing you clipboard you're there for Residente Permanente o Temporales depending on which you're getting and write "cita @ 9:00" (4) Immigration service went in, called me about 10 minutes later, did fingerprints and photos and out in 15 minutes The staff is amazingly pleasant and professional and very helpful. Being in a bureaucratic office in a foreign country imagine how those feel in your home country trying to obtain a driver's license or other life line service. Compared to the experiences I've had at US DMV or Tax Bureau the INM was amazingly easy.
