We just got our FM2 cards renewed in 2 hours on Monday. Yay!

The place was filling up by 11 when we left. This time of year we would recommend calling the numbers in Barry's post above for an appointment for early in the morning (they open at 9AM) if you want the best chances for same day turnaround. Also Monday might be a lighter day. Make a note of the name of person who gives you the appontment; they asked us.

The main change from last year is that they only accept color photos now (they used to accept either color or B/W.) For FM2s the fee went up from 2801 to 3140 pesos. (We'll be glad when we get permanent residency and don't have these annual trips and fees!)

As usual we always bring everything in case they ask for it. For some reason they always ask us for copies of 3 months bank statements wheras most people don't need those for renewals. Better to have them just in case.

Regarding the changes in the immigration rules to implement the law change from a couple years ago, they said it won't happen anytime soon. Maybe Jan or Feb next year. Don't hold your breath...
