IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the update? The National Institute of Immigration office in Mexico City has announced that temporary resident and permanent ID printing will take 15 to 20 working days once fingerprints have been collected. As previously announced by the office, residence permit renewals and exchanges are taking almost two weeks longer than normal to process. Residence permit renewals and exchanges will take up to 20 business days, rather than the standard seven business days.
Background: Mexico has seen significant processing delays in recent months due in part to personnel changes and because the government has shifted resources to address increased migration from Central America.
Analysis & Comments: Employers and foreign nationals should take note of the delays and plan accordingly. Foreign nationals who need to travel abroad while a renewal is pending are encouraged to obtain a departure and reentry permit from their local immigration office at least one week in advance. In the upcoming months, the government is expected to revise certain work permit application criteria for the following nationals: Chinese, Colombian, Czech, Indian, Polish, Romanian, Turkish and Venezuelan. The changes may further prolong processing times, and employers should prepare for potential delays.
