Still unclear how the  process will be for the new rule effective January 1, 2012, to go sport fishing in Mexico’s Coronado Islands. According to  INM MEXICO IMMIGRATION ISTITUTE Tijuana U.S. Consulate will release  detailed  procesure soon and this should be the final.  According to the INM all visitors going to Coronado Island will need a FMM VISA FORM http://www.sandiegoleisure.com/FMMVISAFORM.html  the FMM will be per trip, same when you fly into Mexico,  except when you fly to Mexico the fee for the FMM VISA FORM is included in the airfare ticket.  

If  you go fishing in Mexico’s Coronado Island you will have to pay per trip,  the official FMM FEE is 294.00 PESOS about $24.00, U.S.  but  third party agencies  non government  apparently authorized  by the INM will be charging a fee to provide these  forms.  The INM should pay a commission to these third party agencies and not inflate the 294 PESOS about $24.00, price.

The INM mentioned that the FM3 will be optional which   is good for 365 days in the near  future will be good for  4 years , if you need assistance with the FM3  contact JORGE GONZALEZ can file on your behalf.

Do I have to get an fm3 visa before an fm2 visa? You can go straight from TOURIST VISA FMM TO FM2. Some Mexico Immigration offices request to have the FM3 first but they are wrong,  the information clerk desk personnel  do not know much of the immigration law.  Contact Jorge Gonzalez at jorge@sandiegoleisure.com  he can file for  your FM2 and you do not need to have an FM3.
