Thanks for the information. One more doubt... very important! Will overstaying a visa affect future travels? How long before the person can re-enter Mexico? Will you likely be allowed back in the country? Thanks if you can help me.
visitor visa situation... what to do?
I'm actually writing this on behalf of someone else; it's a difficult situation but I hope that someone in the forums can help me.
Well, it's a long story but in this case this person was issued a 180 day visitor visa, but has unfortunately overstayed by a little over two months... a stupid thing to do but it's a long story as to why. This same person (again, it's a long story, I'm afraid) needs to stay even longer but is concerned that, at this point, it will be impossible to get permission and is really concerned that he will be denied entry into Mexico in the future because of this.
This person needs to stay in Mexico for a longer amount of time but is really concerned that it will be impossible to leave and re-enter the country now.
I've tried contacting the embassy but I can't seem to find the correct contact person. I've talked to a series of people and I hear things ranging from really terrifying (heavy fines and the possibility of being deported permanently ) to ''nothing is going to happen.''
I will be really grateful if anyone here can tell me what this person should do about fixing this situation. What can be done to fix things, and remain in Mexico for more time?
I've also contacted an attorney on behalf of this person.
Thank you if you can help me.

Thanks for the information... so I am assuming that the person won't have any difficulties returning to Mexico?Why does everything have to be drama here? You've given us minimal info to help you with, therefore, I can only say that it's no big deal if "this person (again it's a long story)" takes a border run to the states. You're supposed to turn in your form, but depending on which border you go to, you may not even find the office. So you cross the border, nothing will happen, and you cross back in. Nobody cares, not even the American border guards.
Now, if "this person (again it's a long story)" can't actually get themselves onto a bus and up to the border, then you pay a fine at the airport. However, if "this person (again it's a long story)" flies out before 8am in the morning when immigration opens up at the airport (DF airport), then there's nothing the airline can do about it and they let you get on the plane. Unless things have changed in the past 2 years.
I'm not sure if things have changed, but I understand they're becoming stricter.
What other information do I need to share? Why they overstayed? Fine... I guess it's not incriminating... this person in question met someone and fell for them, things went badly, they stayed to try to win the person's heart, long story short they eventually found a new reason to stay. Hopefully this will end happily.
So you cross the border, nothing will happen, and you cross back in. Nobody cares, not even the American border guards.
So it won't affect future travel, then?
