Surviving Yucatan 
Wow here is an upset for me. When I wanted to read about the SMA question and answer block. I was told I HAD to join WordPress so I did and now they won’t let me see it and give me a message that I am forbidden to coment–which I don’t want to do, I only want to read it.
Let me know what to do to see this, por favor.
The same thing happened to me when I clicked on the link in the email. Click on the link above instead.
Children traveling to Mexico without their parents.
This law has changed as well. Check out this news story below for details.

Excellent Update. THANKS!
We have updated our Main article on Immigration to Mexico and Visiting Mexico to describe the exact terms needed for Americans and Canadians to bring minors into Mexico when both parents are not present. Note that because Canada has not signed the Hague Treaty re documents, Canadians need to go through special steps to get their permission letters approved by a Mexican Consulate.

Links are broken …. just go around in circles w/no info
Which links?**
You know that the Mexican Govt. keeps closing some webpages with no re-directs – frequently – so, both Rolly and I have found that links that stop working are a regular thing, and it’s good to have help in tracking and fixing them.

**If you’ve followed the dramas around the Mazatlan INM office when this post was written back in 2012, the information that the Mazatlan INM office posted had errors – conflicted with the INM law, and as such, we have only maintained this post for archival purposes. It’s likely time to just kill of this old post that was useful back when INM first issued the Lineamientos under clouds of confusion, but now, we direct you to the current information at our main article on immigration at: https://yucalandia.com/answers-to-common-questions/new-rules-and-procedures-for-immigration-visiting-and-staying-in-mexico/
