​​Guidelines for Foreigners (Non-Mexican) with Temporary Resident Cards

For foreigners (non-Mexican) holding a Temporary Resident Card, the expiration date of the Temporary Import Permit (TIP) will align with their immigration status and its renewals, provided they are sequential.

In the event of renewing or obtaining a Temporary Resident Card for the first time, applicants must submit a written notice and a copy of the filing receipt containing the NUT number, along with the TIP, to any Customs office within 15 days of filing the immigration document for the first time or upon renewal.

Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the bond not being refunded.
