While traveling to Mexico on business this morning, I stopped at the immigration office on my way in to get my visa. The immigration officer noticed that my passport was not stamped when I left Mexico after my last visit and would not issue a visa and did not stamp my passport. I was then unable to visit the company that I was scheduled to see since I did not have a visa for my business stay.

A few phone calls were made on my behalf from the company I was suppose to visit and apparantly the only option I have is to pay a daily fine from the time of my last visit. This would work out to over $1,000!

Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know what my options are? My first thoughts were, I could conveniently lose my passport and apply for a new one, rip the page out that has the admitting stamp, or ink stamp over the admitting stamp thereby making it illegible. The problem is, I don't know if any of this is illegal!!

Anyone have any idea as to what I can do? I need to be able to return in the future with no problems.
