My 7 day tourist visa

That office took care of me when I was a terrestrial visitor, twice, though both times it was for easy FMM card issues that were quickly taken care of. Since the OP is arriving there on a domestic flight, with an FMM card issue, it should be a snap. Both times I've been to that office there were no lines.

Yes. That's what the particular office is for. Minor and not so minor immigration issues. For whatever reason, the OP was allowed only a short stay. That airport office can sort it out by providing more days ... or stick with the original 7. It's possible, even likely, the OP has already dealt with the issue and will report back later.

While someone might want the office to be for randos walking in off the streets, "en Aeropuertos Internacionales sólo se realizan trámites de revisión de documentación migratoria de pasajeros" is really not a difficult concept to grasp. This is the rule and rules are RULES.

Which, in Mexico, are almost always possible to bend, so yes, valid point. It's for whatever anyone wants it to be, including a service center for people who wandered off the cruise ship and decide to hang out for a while.

I´m still here in Mexico. Just been offline for a few days exploring the Copper canyon. I thought I´d take longer to reply, but now the internet has reached Urique, isolated at the very bottom of the canyon.

It looks like the MEX airport might be the best option. Although I might try to see if an office handles cruise ship arrivals in Mazatlan, where I will be later this week. Or maybe if someone knows of an office in the center of Guadalajara. I will be in those places first.

Sounds like you'll be scofflawing as of tomorrow... I wouldn't tell the folks on this forum, some would turn their own mother-in-law in for a one day overstay. It's a VERY emotional issue for them and that's OK, because people are people.

Once in administrative limbo, I'd personally just wait till the border and sort it out there, despite the screams for my head on the TT, but otherwise you might want to just go to the INM office in GDL:

It's just a few blocks north of the cathedral.

Given your demonstrated disrespect for Mexico and Mexicans ... I don't doubt for a minute the INM agents had good reason to flag your entry for special attention. Then again, it might be .. that like someone else participating in this discussion ... you're trolling us. ;-) Go away, and leave the discussions here to responsible travelers.

Told you... it's a deeply hurtful subject for some folks, especially when they may not travelled for many, many years, and it just gets their goat seeing anyone go down there and have a good time (seriously... it makes me sad, can we do a Gofundme or something?). Meanwhile they promote flagrant rulebreaking like getting your stuff sorted out at the airport, simply because they can't be bothered to read the actual rules in, you know. Spanish.

What they don't realize is that Mexicans could literally not give two *****s as to whether you resolve your administrative business at the border, the airport, the INM building – not even a single one. Find even one Mexican who feels "disrespected" because some tourist is enjoying and spending money their country with all their papers in order, when this is something that the country explicitly offers you the chance to take care of on your way out, and... I mean, and nothing, because no.

As for the bureaucratic stuff, get it done at the office, in the street, at the border – literally nobody cares except for a few random internet people (WHO CARE VERY MUCH THANK YOU).

It's also pretty irresponsible to suggest that certain travelers are flagged for some abuse or crime when knowing absolutely zero about how the immigration system works. Just don't do that: it's embarrassing, and the time would be better spent learning Spanish and reading the actual laws.

For anyone who is STILL unclear on the concept, 7 days is the standard transit visa given to thousands of people every day. Anyone whose feelings are hurt by that needs to take a step back and reassess.

You can head straight to the immigration office and ask them to extend your visa. You just have to carry your passport, visitor card. You need to prove that you are financially capable of extending your visit. for that you'll need your debit, credit card, or your bank statement. It is a bit of a hassle, but that's the easiest way to do it.

Trolls sometimes do a thing called psychological projection which actually is calling other posters trolls when confronted by them. It is a defense mechanism for pathological liars etc..

Sounds like the story of the US at the moment!

While the OP may not appear to be treating this as quite the deadly serious matter that some posters would like, they've been active on many branches for years and is legit as they come.

I'd be surprised if they asked for bank statements for a simple small extension like this (it's more for long ones), but anything's possible I guess, and once it does actually expire they might well get a little pricklier.
