Residency Assist: Dealing with an Expired Residency Card https://www.mexperience.com/residency-assist-dealing-with-an-expired-residency-card/ Mon, 01 Sep 2025 22:31:22 +0000 https://www.mexperience.com/?p=75605_35e39fad-df70-49ed-afe4-8a15fb6eef1c If you've allowed your Mexico residency card to expire and need assistance with a renewal or re-application, our associates provide help and support

The post Residency Assist: Dealing with an Expired Residency Card first appeared on Mexperience.]]>
If your existing Mexico residency card is expired, you might be able to renew the card—depending on the circumstances.  Our associates can provide assistance with the application.

If your existing Mexico residency card is expired, our associates may be able to help you renew the card: in Mexico through a regular renewal process; or by restarting your residency application inside Mexico; or by restarting your residency application at a Mexican consulate abroad—depending on the circumstances.

How you deal with an expired residency card depends on:

  • Whether you are physically inside Mexico or outside of Mexico when the card expires; and
  • How many calendar days have passed since the card expired; and
  • If you were outside of Mexico when it expired, how many days have passed since your return date to Mexico; and
  • How many years of temporary residency you have accrued.

Renewing your Mexico residency when your residency card has expired

Our associates can provide consultation and practical assistance in the event that you have let your residency card expire.  Their support and facilitation depends on your circumstances, thus:

If you’re currently outside of Mexico and less than 55 days have passed since the card expired, and you have less than four years of temporary residency accrued, our associates can help with a regular renewal of your existing residency card.

If you’ve recently arrived back in Mexico with an expired card and you have less than four years of temporary residency accrued, and less than 5 days have passed since your arrival date, our associates can help with a regular renewal of your existing residency card.

If you’re currently inside Mexico, and less than 55 days have passed since the card has expired, and you have less than four years of temporary residency accrued, our associates can help you re-apply for residency at an immigration office in Mexico, and you can use the form on this page to make a service request. In this situation you will be required to re-prove your income and all your key documents including bank/account statements will need to be notarized/apostilled and translated into Spanish.

Two situations when you CANNOT renew an expired residency card

First: If more than 55 days have passed since your card expired, and/or you arrived back in Mexico and did not attend an immigration office to file for a renewal within 5 days of your arrival date.

Second: If you have 4 years accrued on your temporary residency you cannot renew the expired card, and you cannot apply to exchange your expired card for Permanent Residency.

If one or both of these situations apply you must instead restart your residency application at a Mexican consulate abroad, unless you have defined family connections in Mexico, in which case you may re-apply for residency inside Mexico using Family Unit rules.

How the Tele-Assistance facilitation service works

The tele-assistance support service offered by our associates saves you time and helps avoid common mistakes made by applicants dealing with their expired residency cards in Mexico. You can use tele-assistance regardless of what location you plan to move to (or are currently situated) in Mexico.

The service facilitates your application if you have a qualifying expired residency card (see notes above) and you want to apply for a renewal or re-apply for residency.

  • An initial consultation by phone/videocall/email/chat to understand your situation and plan a workable approach for renewing your residency card or re-applying for residency.
  • Confirmation of the required procedures for dealing with your expired residency card, depending on your circumstances.
  • Checklist of requirements and review of your supporting documentation for accuracy and completeness.
  • Correct completion of the forms and covering letter you will need to file for renewal of an expired residency card or re-application.
  • Customized checklist of documents you’ll need to carry and present when you attend the immigration office in Mexico.
  • Detailed instructions/guidance about where to go and what to do when you arrive at the immigration office to file the application.

Adequate Auto Insurance for Your Mexico Road Trip https://www.mexperience.com/ensuring-your-mexico-road-trip-is-adequately-insured/ Mon, 01 Sep 2025 19:07:14 +0000 https://www.mexperience.com/?p=18525---d510a6b6-6576-4c68-a372-054e21a3ea0c Being properly insured when you drive in Mexico provides coverage against financial loss, and also practical and legal support in stressful circumstances

The post Adequate Auto Insurance for Your Mexico Road Trip first appeared on Mexperience.]]>
An adequate auto insurance policy valid in Mexico will include all-important third party liability, and it should also provide practical assistance services that support you in stressful situations—which car accidents tend to be.  This article provides practical advice to help you prepare for your road trip coverage.

Auto insurance coverage valid in Mexico

Some auto insurance policies might contain wording that leads you to believe that you are covered in Mexico, but this out-of-country cover, if any is included, is limited to damage to your own vehicle and certain things you may be carrying inside your car.

The most important aspect of an auto insurance policy when you’re driving in Mexico is third-party liability, because claims for damages by third parties can be substantial.

Third party liability abroad needs a special policy

By law, US and Canadian insurers can’t provide third party liability and this coverage must be underwritten by a Mexican insurance company and be specially formed to be legally valid under Mexican law.

Third party liability covers any losses your actions might cause to others. These most commonly include (but are not limited to):

  • damage to another person’s vehicle, or their property;
  • injuries to another person in an accident; and
  • damage to public property (e.g. road structures).

How much liability insurance is needed in Mexico?

While no one expects to be involved in an accident —and far less a serious one— when arranging coverage, it’s worth considering the worst-case scenario: that you accidentally cause serious injury or death of another person as a result of a vehicle accident.

Here in Mexico you can be made financially responsible to the other party (or their kin) if you unintentionally cause the death of another motorist, and reputable insurance brokers suggest that you have no less than US$300,000 in liability insurance and they will usually recommend US$500,000.

Get a policy covers more than just accidents

There are other factors besides financial liability to consider when you are arranging your auto insurance when you drive in Mexico.  The three most important aspects to consider when choosing a policy are:

Legal representation

If you’re involved in a serious road accident in Mexico, it’s common for those involved to be detained until the situation is assessed, fault is determined, and financial responsibility is assigned.

Due to this process, the legal representation which better policies offer will provide you with:

  • local assistance to help you deal with the complex paperwork and procedures (in Spanish, and liaise with you in English);
  • a fund to post a bail-bond and get you released as soon as practicable; and
  • a legal team to negotiate on your behalf if fault and responsibility is assigned to you.

Medical coverage

If you or any of your vehicle’s occupants are injured in an accident, medical payments might or might not be covered. Medical coverage on auto policies vary and you’ll need to compare the choices to ensure you have an adequate amount of coverage, per person and in total.

Assistance for accidents and vehicle breakdowns

When an accident happens, what really matters is the practical support provided by an insurance policy.

If your vehicle breaks-down, or in the event of a minor accident which leaves your car damaged but readily repairable, a roadside travel assistance plan offered by the insurer can be an enormous benefit to you.

Roadside assistance can be purchased as part of an auto insurance policy and offers very practical help in what can be stressful and confusing circumstances.

  • In the event of a breakdown or minor accident which leaves you stuck, help with things like gas delivery, a flat tire, a locksmith, or a tow truck to a nearby garage for essential repairs can be a phone call away.
  • In the event of an accident, assistance can provide practical support and liaison with key personnel to help you recover more quickly and get back on your road trip as soon as practicable.

Insurance provided by our partners MexPro Insurance offer coverages using only A-rated insurers for vehicles, motorcycles, RVs, ATV/UTV, and towed units. Their insurances cover third party liability, provide legal assistance, and you can opt for medical and roadside assistance to be included.

Insurance for Your Mexican-plated Car in the USA & Canada https://www.mexperience.com/insurance-for-your-mexican-plated-car-in-the-usa-canada/ Mon, 01 Sep 2025 18:10:14 +0000 https://www.mexperience.com/?p=63383_1e9ee8a2-1a32-4754-9cfd-ce4ff9bda870 When you drive your Mexican-plated car north across the border, you’ll need to get special third-party liability insurance that’s valid in the US and Canada

The post Insurance for Your Mexican-plated Car in the USA & Canada first appeared on Mexperience.]]>
In the same way that owners of US- and Canadian-plated vehicles who drive to Mexico need to get a top-up insurance policy to cover third party liabilities in Mexico, drivers of Mexican-plated vehicles driving the car abroad must purchase a top-up policy that covers them outside of Mexico.

Taking a Mexican-plated car to the US & Canada

Foreign residents living in Mexico with Permanent Residency cannot keep a foreign-plated car in Mexico outside one of the designated free zones.

If you hold Permanent Residency in Mexico and live outside one of the free zones, you might own a Mexican-plated vehicle, and you might want to drive it to the USA or Canada on short visits—usually up to six months.

Your Mexican insurance policy probably covers damage to your own vehicle and loss of any personal items inside of it when the car is outside of Mexico (check the policy); however, it will not cover third party liabilities in the USA and Canada in the event of an accident. A special top-up insurance policy is needed.

Online quote for Mexican-plated vehicles in the USA & Canada

Our insurance associate, MexPro, can provide you with an instant online quote to insure your Mexican-plated vehicle for third party coverage in the USA and Canada.

Get a Quote Now

Short-term third-party liability insurance

Policies for Mexican-plated vehicles driving into the USA and Canada can be purchased on a short-term basis only—you select the number of days you intend to visit the US/Canada as part of the quotation process.

The insurance policy will:

  • Cover you in the event of an accident in the USA or Canada and provide third party liability coverage up to the value of the coverage stated on the policy.
  • Provide a limited amount of coverage for medical expenses—sufficient to cover very minor incidents, but insufficient for a serious situation, so a separate medical coverage policy is recommended.
  • Provide roadside assistance in the event of a vehicle breakdown while you’re outside of Mexico, and legal assistance—as described in the policy.
  • You can optionally purchase other defined coverages in addition to those listed above for an extra fee.

These policies are not intended to provide comprehensive coverage but instead top-up your Mexican insurance to cover you for damages in the event of an accident or other incident involving third parties while you’re driving in the USA or Canada.

The post Residency Assist: Consultation About Residency in Mexico first appeared on Mexperience.]]>
When you’re considering options for residency in Mexico, a personal consultation with an experienced English-speaking immigration specialist can help you to talk through potential options and formulate a workable approach.

When you’re thinking about applying for residency in Mexico, but are not sure about the best approach to take for your situation, a personal consultation with our immigration associates can help you to consider your options and avoid common pitfalls.

Personal Consultation

When you purchase any of the application support packages, the package fee includes this personal consultation as an integral part of the service.

This personal consultation package offers an initial consultation to talk about your situation in detail before you decide to apply for residency.

Benefits of a personal consultation

It can be especially helpful to talk to an experienced expert about how to structure your residency application if you’re unsure about whether or how you may qualify, are unsure about which application route to use, if your situation is unusual or complex, and/or if you plan to work independently in Mexico.

When you hire our associate:

  • The personal consultation can take place via telephone call, video call, or via web chat—as you prefer.
  • They’ll talk to you about your current situation and your intentions, whether you are single, a couple, or a family planning to apply for residency in Mexico.
  • They’ll give you detailed answers to any questions you have or concerns you are harboring.
  • If they do not have an answer right away, they will take the question offline and get back to you as soon as practical.

Choose Liability-only or full coverage; all plans include roadside assistance, legal, and some medical expenses

The post Arrange Auto Insurance for Your Foreign-Plated Car in Mexico first appeared on Mexperience.]]>
Be properly covered when you drive your foreign-plated vehicle to Mexico.  Your US or Canadian auto insurance policy will provide limited or no coverage when you drive across the border.

Our auto insurance associate, MexPro, offers auto insurance backed by A-rated underwriters that provide adequate coverage and peace of mind for your road trips in Mexico—including all-important third party liability, and practical assistance services that support you in stressful situations.

Auto insurance that’s valid in Mexico

Some auto insurance policies might contain wording that leads you to believe that you are covered in Mexico, but this out-of-country cover, if any is included, is limited to damage to your own vehicle and certain things you may be carrying inside your car.

What MexPro auto insurance offers:

  • Insurance from an established company specializing in Mexico auto policies underwritten by A-rated (financially sound) insurers.
  • Coverage offered for Cars, SUVs, Pickups, Vans, Motorcycles, ATV/UTV, and Motorhome/RVs.
  • Cover for towed units if needed.
  • Choice of Liability Only and Full Coverage insurance packages to suit your needs and budget.
  • Insure for a defined number of days, or choose a bi-annual or annual policy for multiple visits.
  • Obtain cover for the physical damage and total theft of your vehicle, and get the all-important third-party liability—all with fixed deductibles.
  • All policies include: Legal assistance (US$30,000 max); Medical expenses after an accident (US$25,000 max); Roadside Assistance and Travel Assistance.
  • Trip interruption cover: Assistance to continue your trip if it’s interrupted by accident or total theft with return to place of residence; or car rental; plus lodging expenses.
  • Policy wording in English with features and benefits you’re accustomed to and expect from an Insurance policy.
  • Coverage terms are clearly provided by our associate, MexPro Insurance, when you get a no-obligation quote.

Quote for Auto Insurance

Do I need auto insurance for my road trip to Mexico?

Here are key points to consider when you intend to drive your car or other motorized vehicles to Mexico:

  • You need to obtain an auto insurance policy that covers at least third-party liability in Mexico, because your US or Canadian policy, however comprehensive, cannot cover this.
  • All MexPro’s plans cover third-party liability, and their full coverage policies will also cover physical damage and total theft of your vehicle while it’s in Mexico.
  • Having roadside assistance will be invaluable if your vehicle breaks down or if you’re involved in an accident.  Legal assistance provides essential coverage while accident blame is assessed.
  • Driving in Mexico uninsured is a risk, especially if you’re involved a serious accident—and whether or not the accident is your fault.
  • Affordable policies are available to give you and your passengers peace of mind when you’re on the road in Mexico.

Most foreigners seeking legal residency in Mexico must begin their application at a Mexican consulate abroad.  However, as we describe in our article about seeking residency in Mexico via Family Unit rules, the immigration law allows foreigners with defined family connections in Mexico to apply through a Mexican consulate abroad, or exchange a Visitor permit (FMM) for a residency permit from within Mexico.

Travel Medical Insurance for Extended Stays in Mexico https://www.mexperience.com/emergency-medical-insurance-for-extended-stays-in-mexico/ Sun, 31 Aug 2025 11:04:40 +0000 https://www.mexperience.com/?p=85383_0b01edf7-571c-44e1-95e8-d050e6efc012 Our associate offers travel medical coverage for unexpected medical expenses and medically-warranted evacuation when you're on an extended stay in Mexico

The post Travel Medical Insurance for Extended Stays in Mexico first appeared on Mexperience.]]>
When you’re staying in Mexico for extended periods, for example if you overwinter or go back and forth for extended stays throughout the year, your home country’s medical insurance plan is unlikely to provide some or any coverage for medical emergencies you may have while you’re in Mexico.

This article describes what a travel medical insurance plan is, and how you can use this type of insurance to obtain coverage when you’re in Mexico for shorter trips and extended stays not lasting more than 180 days.

No-obligation quote for extended stay emergency medical insurance

Our associate, TME Insurance, offers affordable emergency medical insurance for extended stays in Mexico.

US: If you have a US address, get an online quote now.

Non-US: If you do not have a US address fill out this quick form and our associate will contact you personally.

What is a travel medical insurance plan?

Most trip protection insurance plans limit coverage to a maximum of 90 calendar days —three months— and if you stay over this, the insurance plan’s cover ceases to continue.

If you stay, or intend to stay, in Mexico for longer than three months, then an extended stay travel medical plan will cover you in Mexico for up to 180 days (6 months), and provide emergency medical expense coverage, including medically-warranted evacuation, during that time.

Our associate offers extended stay travel medical insurance plans to protect you from the costs of unexpected medical emergencies while you’re in Mexico.

What an extended stay travel medical plan covers

  • Unexpected medical expenses while you’re on an extended stay in Mexico not exceeding 180 days.
  • Emergency medical expense coverage in Mexico for physician’s fees, lab/x-rays, prescriptions, anesthetics, clinic/hospital costs up to US$100,000. Coverage for emergency dental expenses is also included up to US$750.
  • Medically-warranted emergency evacuation to a hospital of your choice and covering up to US$500,000 of medical evacuation costs. Includes transporting a visitor from abroad to join you, and repatriation of minors.
  • The plan extends coverage beyond Mexico to nearly all countries when you travel.
  • If you unexpectedly pass away in Mexico, this insurance plans covers the cost of repatriation of your mortal remains.
  • This plan does not cover prepaid trip costs (flights, hotels, cruises, tours & excursions, etc.) that you would typically find in a single-trip comprehensive protection plan.
  • Premiums are based on the number of days you intend to stay in Mexico (maximum 180 days).
  • Coverage limitations apply—terms are clearly provided by our associate, TME Insurance, when you get a no-obligation quote.

Is travel medical insurance plan right for me?

This plan is ideal for those who visit Mexico for extended stays up to 180 days and primarily seek protection from unexpected medical emergencies, with medically-warranted evacuation, and without seeking coverage for trip interruptions and other non-medical benefits that single-trip insurance typically offers.

If you take single trips or short visits to Mexico that will not last more than 90 days (three months), consider opting for short-term visit coverage options which offer emergency medical expense coverages in Mexico, trip-protection if your voyage is cancelled or interrupted in some ways, as well as medically-warranted evacuation to the nearest suitable facility.

If you live or stay in Mexico for over 180 consecutive days and have a medical plan that covers you in your home country, a Medical Evacuation plan for longer-term stays might suit your situation.
