What to do if your Mexican visa expires during COVID-19

If your Mexican visa expires during COVID-19 we will tell you what to do to request your renewal without incurring in penalties.

If you are an American or Canadian citizen with a Mexican residency visa that expires this month during the COVID-19 emergency, you have additional concerns because the immigration authority has closed their doors to the public and you will not be able to request the renewal before its expiration date.

But don’t panic. We will share with you very useful information so you may be able to avoid the hassle and penalties related to an expired immigration visa permit.

Nobody knows when will things get back to normal. However, for the moment, the Government in Mexico has issued a decree suspending the deadlines of immigration law, for procedures with compliance dates occurring during the month of April 2020.

If your visa in Mexico expires this month, you were probably breaking your head trying to figure out how to comply with your renewal on time to avoid late and penalty fees because let’s face it, you just cannot travel to Mexico during the current COVID-19 emergency.

So relax. Now you know what to do if your Mexican visa expires during COVID-19 and that you can wait until May 4th to travel and file for the extension of your visa or residency card in Mexico without incurring in any penalties, even if it expired in April 2020.

If you cannot travel and if you want an attorney at law to teach you how to take advantage of this valuable information, you may contact us to request a private consultation.
