FMM, FM3 or FM2

This is my advice...

If you need an FM2 or FM3 processed, renewed, or changed... go to an office somewhere you have had good experience. The employees in the Bucerias office are super nice, but the process is very slow. Of course, this IS Mexico. However, there are super fast places and and not super fast places. La Paz would be a super fast place. Bucerias is super slow, although I must mention I met one couple that a  had fast experience getting their FM3's renewed in Bucerias. I guess it just depends who you get.

As for the FMM (or 6 month tourist VISA), don't go to Bucerias. They had me come back 4 separate days and I still ended up empty handed... even though they had a huge poster that read translated:

Got to Mexico without your papers? No problem! Just Get Regularized!

I think coming in on an airplane makes a difference.
