2015 Temporary Migrant Regularization Program※
The Programa Temporal de RegularizaciĂłn Migratoria (PTRM) published on 12 January 2015 in the Diario Oficial de la FederaciĂłn, is aimed at those foreigners who have made their permanent residence in Mexico. But due to 'diverse circumstances' did not regularize their stay in the country and find themselves turning to 'third parties' to perform various procedures, "including finding employment."
The program is aimed at foreign nationals who entered the country before 9 November 2012. Foreigners wishing to live and be, part of the national life of Mexico, will receive through the PTRM the status of 'temporary resident' by an immigration document that is valid for four years. The temporary program will run from 13 January to 18 December 2015.
In accordance with the provisions of Articles: 1, 2, 10, 18, 77, 126 and 133 of the Ley de MigraciĂłn; 1 and 143 of the Reglamento de la Ley de MigraciĂłn, any foreign national wishing to regularize their immigration status within Mexican territory, under the PTRM will complete the payment of fees for the following:
- Proof of payment for receiving and examining the application of the procedure... ... MXN 1124.00
- For the issuance of the certificate giving them the status of temporary stay for four years ...... MXN 7914.00
For people of low income. Or the vulnerable, Article 16 of the Ley Federal de Derechos will exempt them from payment if it can be proven that the foreign national earns a wage at/below minimum wage. During the period that the PTRM is in effect, no fine will be applied (as is the practice otherwise).
