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.

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.
