FM3 Expirada

[JosMan]

Saludos a todos

Soy Mexicano y estoy casado con una Boliviana, estubimos viviendo en Mexico por 4 meses, en ese tiempo ella logro obtener su FM3, por cuestiones de trabajo, tuvimos que salir de Mexico, mi esposa se trajo su FM3 consigo por que pensabamos regresar rapido, sin embargo, al parecer estaremos fuera cuando menos otro año mas, lo cual implicaria que la FM3 de mi esposa expiraria fuera de Mexico.

Mis dudas son:

1.- Puedo renovar la FM3 de mi esposa en algun consulado?
2.- Si su FM3 expira ella estando fuera de Mexico, el INM la penalizaria?
3.- Para volver a entrar al pais necesito conseguirle una VISA de turista o otra FM3?

Si alguien pudiera darme alguna idea de la situaciona en la que nos encontramos se lo agredeciriamos.

Saludos a todos los paisanos.

P.D. la FM3 de mi esposa es de "Dependiente Economico" por estar casado con un Mexicano

Yes there will be a penalty if you fail to renew your FM3 in at imely fashion. Yes you can turn it in at any consulate. Hope this helps.

1.- Puedo renovar la FM3 de mi esposa en algun consulado? Posiblemente si & recomendo que Ud. lo preguntes de INM. Es posible que puedes obtenir un tramite por la duracion de sus ausentia de Mexico.
2.- Si su FM3 expira ella estando fuera de Mexico, el INM la penalizaria? Claro que si, sin tramite.
3.- Para volver a entrar al pais necesito conseguirle una VISA de turista o otra FM3? Si no hay FM3 corriente, por supuesto.
Desculpe mi español nuevo.

Thank you for your help RVGRINGO.

I've already asked at INM, and they told me that i can't renew my wife's FM3 outside Mexico. So, i have a problem.


Do you know how much will i have to pay because the FM3 surely is going to expire? and i won't be able to renew it on time.


By the why, any one knows what is the penalty for failing to update the address on an FM3 when more than a month has elapsed after changing the previos address?.

There are fines for renewing an FM3 late. When changing your address, no one seems too concerned about the actual date of the move and I doubt that it would ever be something to worry about. There is probably a small fine if you were to declare a date too far out of the 30 day "window". After all, you do need to wait for an CFE or Telmex bill to arrive to prove your new address, and that takes time.
Another option might be to just let the FM3 expire while you are out of the country and get a fresh FMT when you return. Then, 30 days before it is to expire you can apply for a new FM3 if you plan to be in Mexico long enough to make that worthwhile. If not, you can apply for an extension of the FMT. Of course, if your wife wants to work in Mexico again, that complicates the problem; she should then beg for late renewal and pay the applicable fine.
Since you are a Mexican national, you should have no problem getting her documents in order if you are actually residents of Mexico.

My wife never had working permit, her FM3 doesn't allow her to work, she is an economical dependant of me, so given this situation, i think my best choice is just to let the current FM3 expires and when i finally knew when we will be coming back to Mexico i would do as you recommend.

1.- Gets a FMT.
2.- Apply for a new FM3 using my new address.

After all, i think that you have to do pretty much the same procedure for getting a new one and for renew it.

Anyway, thank you so much for your help, i was very worry about this FM3 thing, but now it seems that i could take it easy.
