Anytime, that means from day one, if someone wants a permanente and he has never filed for an FM2/3, if he has the financials he can get a permanente.
If a person is applying at a consulate in his home country and he produces the correct financials, he can get a permanente.
What they are supposed to be doing in Mexico is allow people who have had an FM2/3 for 4 years to go to a permanente without the financials.
Temporary Visa does not allow one to work! Permanent Visa allows one to work! End of 4 years means you must move to Permanent Resident. That does not mean a 4 on the back of a current visa. it means a "3" indicating number of renewals.
You need a Permanent Resident visa to earn income in Mexico that includes landlords, artists, musicians, people who work via the Internet from within Mexico. Anything that earns you income from within Mexico, get a Permanent Resident visa. And, you must be registered with Hacienda and pay tax. And, if a tenant and landlord out of country by law you must withhold approx 25% tax from your rent and pay it to Hacienda.
Try getting a green card in the US... been there, done that. Thousands of dollars and months are required. For a Mexican they can not even travel to the US or Canada or change planes with spending $180, for the US traveling to DF and waiting in line from 4 to 5 am.
Why all these expats with a sense of entitlement is beyond me? We get to keep our cars, live here by proving not a lot of income, get free healthcare, etc. Try doing that up north.
I propose that the posters on Mexconnect stop reporting false things that have no documentation and no references.
Alternately, could the Moderators please flag - or color - or highlight suspect and poorly documented advice?
~ to keep newbie readers from getting horribly confused...
We have been getting and hearing at 5-10 comments a day of false rumors started like these presented above.
e.g. Consider: Rather than passing out rumors as fact, instead:
Check out the Lineamientos:
Artículo 60. Las condiciones de estancia que cuentan con permiso de trabajo son las siguientes:
I. Residente temporal cuando se adquiera por oferta de empleo;
II. Residente permanente;
III. Visitante con permiso para realizar actividades remuneradas;
IV. Visitante trabajador fronterizo, y
V. Visitante por razones humanitarias
Article 60 roughly translates as:
Article 60. Conditions/Applicants allowed to have a work permit are:
I. Temporary resident with valid documentation of a job offer from a Mexican employer;
II. Permanent residents are approved to work.
III. Visitante permit holders with permission to engage in paid work activities;
IV. Formally approved guest workers in the Border region, and
V. Visitante permit holders in Mexico on humanitarian grounds

Concerning the imaginings about the Requisitos for Permanente Residente:
The May 2011 Ley de Migración, the Reglamento, and both of the associated Lineamientos clearly give both individual INM agents and INM offices the rights to either waive the reporting of Financial Documents proving Fiscal Solvency or to fully require the reporting of Financial Documents proving Fiscal Solvency .

The quality of information on Mexconnect really has recently become pretty poor - with a lot of hyperbole, misinformation, and incomplete information presented as the whole truth and fully factual.
If I were a newbie to visiting Mexico or an uncertain expat, I would find much of the last 3 weeks of immigration info on Mexconnect to be pretty spotty vs. the normal spot-on advice given by Mexconnect old-timers...
Can we please start using citations and references, when possible?
When there are differences between how the individual INM offices and individual INM agents and between Mexican Consulates' procedures and requirements: Can we please state clearly which office, what day/date, what was applied-for, and what qualifications were met by the applicant?
The last item is important, because a number of Consulates and INM offices are clearly granting both Residente Temporal and Residente Permanente Tarjetas de Residencia to individual foreigners who do not meet any single one Requisito... These offices are approving applications where the foreigner meets a combination of just 1/2 of each of several requirements. e.g. They own property worth $50,000 USD in Mexico. They receive just $1,200 a month in SSI deposits. They have $20,000 USD in a bank account.... they have 2 years of FM3 and 1 year of FM2, and poof... Their applications are rapidly and easily approved. We have good quality first-hand reports of this from Progres, Merida and Cancun INM offices...
there are good websites out there with accurate up-to-date information on the new rules:
Check out http://yucalandia.com/...%20of%20INM%20permit for easy to find summaries, chock full o' important details on the latest updates on INM and SRE/Consulate requirements from across Canada, the USA, and Mexico.
