| Yes a 180 day FMT is valid for multiple entry/exit. Been doing this for over 25 years and always update when expired. I've never been asked for my FMT when in Mexico-period. But get one. My logic is a small price to pay to visit...rarely been asked for my Mexico fishing license either but i get one sonce I'm using the resource..

not only is it the right thing to do, but i DO get asked to produce my FMT at the Aduana checkpoint on MX2 every time i get red-lighted and sometimes even when not. (i must just look a lot more suspicious than El Bart... )

If that is a joke, it is a pretty bad one. If it is not, it's just pretty bad.

| The reason you do not pay on the plane, it is already in your airline ticket that you paid for in advance. On a airplane you also pay a departure fee which is also on your ticket.

Your making a big deal out of nonthing! If you plan on visiting more than once make sure you get a 180 day visa so that you are legal. You don't need to turn it in when you come back to the US because they don't really care. If you are down in Sonora now and you don't have a visa, don't worry about it just enjoy your stay and don't come down again without getting a visa and don't get into any trouble. I have been in a vehicle accident and have crossed over to Baja all the way to La Paz and have never been asked for my Visa. Yes a Visa is the proper paperwork to have when you are in Mexico and you should have it because you do run the risk of getting into legal problems if you don't have a validated Visa. Do it right the first time and respect the Mexican laws. It's their country!

Seems to me if some of you have been enjoying Mexico for more than a few years or one of those that may visit each weekend, it would be prudent to obtain the FM3 instead of playing with tourist's permits.
Those of you that have houses here certainly aren't in the 'tourist' class anymore.

While mexibob is factually correct, the reality is that obeying many laws in Mexico is hard. The FM-3 is an example. The annual price keeps going up (now over $US100 per year) and the ever increasing hassle and delays associated with renewals is sometimes burdensome. Unfortunately, not obeying the law is often a far easier choice.
The same line of thinking applies to house trusts where gross incompetence, high fees, and delays of years are commonplace.
Nonetheless, I do get my FM-3 renewed annually and I swallow hard when I have to deal with my bank trust not because it's legal or "the right thing to do". I do it because the cost is still far lower than what I'd have to put out were I living in the USA. I simply look at FM-3 and trust fees as "taxes" which I'm happy to pay since I live in Mexico only. Those "taxes" are far lower than any property tax I'd have to pay in the USA. My only regret is that the ridiculous annual trust fees end up in the pockets of the banks instead of contributing to the welfare of the country.

That was on the Mexican News last night.
Check for Updates for the Exact Requirements.
Hans, by plane is where you have ALWAYS had to pay upon entry. It is included in the cost of the ticket and I have never heard of anyone getting a 180 day permit from an airline and keeping it as you leave the country.
