Your sugggestions reinforce what we've been told and what we've learned online, so thanks. Our point was that with the help of our local consulate we can ease the process somewhat, even though we know that more will be expected when we arrive in Loreto and report to the Immigration office.<BR/><BR/>We'd welcome any additional info!Paula Pennell and George Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00576537208468628049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8813356439432251214.post-51045325090880934312008-09-15T19:38:00.000-06:002008-09-15T19:38:00.000-06:00Don't count on what you were told as being correct...Don't count on what you were told as being correct. Do your research. We were told at our local consulate when we picked up our completed FM3s that we didn't need to do anything else. We knew that was not right. We were prepared when we went to Loreto (the next day) and to the immigration office. They want to "open a file" for each of you - you must provide the folders. They wanted a copy of each page of our passports and our FM3s. We also gave them a copy (one for each of us) of our Fideicomiso and got a letter from LBC (which we had to go into town to make a copy) stating our address, since our casa is not yet complete.<BR/><BR/>On the menaje de casa, since we'll be in the rental program and are buying most furnishings from preferred vendors, we have decided not to get one (you have six months from getting your FM3). If you plan to move a household worth of goods and use a customs broker, then look into it.<BR/><BR/>Barry <BR/>AV 61<BR/>San Jose, CAAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02323570756503734118noreply@blogger.com
