-------yes, this is happening to more than one RT or even RP


Showing the passport and residency card and getting a stamp is easier then having a form be filled out and hopefully the INM officer doesn't screw up.

I did the form online and hand wrote "Residente Temporal" twice and "X" off the Tarjeta Residente Temporal section for both sides.
There shouldn't be any question that I'm a resident at this point.

-------in the past we have had keep then show the part of the form INM stamped as RT or RP received when we exited, so there has never been an issue. The online form didn't/couldn't apply to an RT or RP. Since you walked in I guess this wasn't the procedure....

Can residents use the lane for Mexican Nationals when arriving in a Mexican airport?
I didn't have an issue doing this when I walked into Mexico.
