Financial requirements for Mexico’s temporary residency have increased hugely over last few years and regularisation programme has just been stopped. True, residency is very easy to obtain if you meet the “economic solvency”. Mexico is very different from Thailand though.
need to start transferring 65,000 before 1st extension to ensure there is year of 65,000 transfers at the time of 2nd extension (up to a month before expiry).
I always worry about the airline not allowing me to check in albeit i only had a sticky situation once (Bali to Manila). I just bought a cheap single ticket Manila to Jeju Island eventhough onwardticket.com solution would be probably just as good. Never been asked by immigration authorities though.
